The Strike Rifle is the most common Drudge weapon and is used only by the Drones. Even though it is semi-automatic, it is capable of a charged shot that can move faster and inflict more damage than regular shots. However, it takes several seconds for the charge to build up. It also has a mode that functions like a scope. Instead of using binoculars or magnifying lens arrays like other weapons, it modifies the visual organs of whoever is using it. The orange orb visible in the center of the Strike Rifle, called bio-mass, serves as its ammunition. In The Conduit, you first encounter this weapon in Bunker 13 in the campaign mission Enemy.
