DZ Striker

A DZ Striker was one of Gleeman Vox's standard attack troopers.^[1] Armed with basic laser blasters and jet packs, they were relatively simple to defeat unless if found in large groups.

Ratchet first encountered a DZ Striker in the Advanced Qualifier challenge on the DreadZone Station.^[1]

Behind the scenes

• In the demo for Ratchet: Deadlocked, they were encountered in the Temple of Shaar on planet Shaar. When the actual game came out, they were replaced with the DZ Vipers.
• DZ Strikers would also throw some sort of hand grenade in the demo for Deadlocked. This feature was later removed from the actual game.

Trivia

• Captain Starshield once destroyed an entire year's supply of DZ Strikers on his first day as a DreadZone gladiator.
