Strider has 30% more recoil making it a pain in the ass to use at long range. Competence increases recoil and is harder to use at long range. Sweeper has a lower fire rate and is easily outclassed. The best ASM1 variants to use at long range are the Rigor and Magnitude, but they don't change damage.
