      The game is too chaotic for that.
      The only place where you can mount any proper defense is the guard tower in the Prison map. When youre inside that fence, no zed can approach you from the rear. Not even crawlers.
      1 zerk spartan at the gate, 1 medic, 1 support for ammo, 1 swat for stun and MG (better than commando) support.
      And in the tower overlooking the courtyard, 1 demo and 1 sharp for big zed killing and long range crowd softening.
      Or trade the sharp for a 2nd bezerker for HoE. Which you will need.
      I consider myaself a master class bezerker. And helped my whole team get the platinum ps4 trophy by willing a HoE game this way.

    @JackRabbittm 4 роки тому +63

    You see, I have a bit of a problem with your use of a learning curve when it comes to determining the position of the perk. You say the Berserker has a tough learning curve to master, and I think you are correct with that. But to place it all the way at slot 7 for that reason? That's painful. On top of this, you put Gunslinger, a perk which also has a really steep learning curve to master, at number one despite saying that it has the learning curve. It's just confusing to me because I agree that both perks have a steep learning curve, but to put one at 7 and one at 1? That's just confusing to me.

      I think his point was that Berserker is much harder to play than other perks, and has a hard time getting as much value as the top tier perks even when performing well. Both Berserker and Gunslinger are difficult classes, but berserker is significantly harder while at the same time having less potential even at the top of its learning curve.

    I think you're fairly accurate, when prioritizing offensiveness. I fell in love with the firebug in KF1, able to clear a room in seconds at max levels, leaving just the large zeds behind. The ability to stumble large zeds in KF2 is amazing. I can just clear out the small enemies, and puff fire at the large ones to keep them off my teammates. This is a bigger issue on endless more than survival imo, since some rounds are 90% skrakes or something, and I can help keep them away from pinning us as we run away.

    As firebug, what they do best is be cost effective, with tier 25 you get unlimited ammo during zed time so you got amazing firepower and save on dosh. I run trenchgun and dual flareguns and extra dosh I give to medic or commando and once everyone maxes I go helios. I know when to stop spamming when holding a lane and use the quick command to ask for help for big zeds.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on best perk. I actually think Commando should be a lot lower. Those of us who played Killing Floor 1, know that Commando in Killing floor 2 has been regulated to being a a weaker version of swat with only use is for slow mow and seeing Stalkers.I miss the glory days of Commando. Dont get me wrong, those utilities are important but come on, go try out killing floor 1 and tell me how great Commando can be. Gunslinger is an excellent class, especially since tripwire has shown more love to Gunslinger than any other class. So many new weapons being added to it every update, but number 1 has to be beserker. You get a good beserker and they will win the game for your team even when your pub team dies.

  • @Vistresian1941

    "... and the trench gun come to mind. And they sort of lack the punch and efficiency of other weapons." Pretty sure I've seen dragonsbreath absolutely rip through clumps of zeds, even medium and heavy tiered ones. I can understand criticism of the trench shotgun reload mechanics, but if we're talking "punch," I think different wording could be used. Also- it's a tad hard to avoid lanes with precision perk users when they continually come over to take pot shots at zeds that are *already on fire.*

  • @mikeblackmetal
    @mikeblackmetal 3 роки тому

    I'm already prestige all my perks. Berserker is already maxed so my current perk is Survivalist. When I beated my first HoE match with 6 players, I went "purist" (I mean, just using perk weapons). In this case, killerwatt for trash and freezethrower for big zeds. That last weapon is pretty good if you know how to use it. In other cases, if my team lacks a medic or needs more healers, I use medic AR.
    Anyway, survivalist is pretty good as long as you know how to fight properly with all weapons and you fill team holes :3

    Can’t speak for the other perks but from a medic main I think it should’ve been at least in 2nd. It’s not the best at killing tough zeds but can very much handle it’s own, not only with the HM-tech 301 shotgun which I’ve absolutely fallen in love with when taking out scrakes and flesh pounds, but also with the syringe being able to basically completely offset any damage given, even in a corner with flesh pounds and scrakes if you spam your healing grenades quick enough you’ll be able to make it out practically unscathed
    This is without also mentioning how the buffs you put on your teammates will also apply to you when healing them or when using your syringe but I think that was a feature added after this video was made so I’m happy with 3rd but if the creator makes an updated video I definitely think medic should be 2nd at least. Do really appreciate him acknowledging the medic’s effective and consistent healing though, in general the KF2 community is one of the only communities I’ve seen actually appreciate their medics, y’all are the best!!!

  • @flashn00b
    @flashn00b 4 роки тому

    TBH, i've always felt that this is a more ideal team composition on Suicidal.
    Berserker (Tanking)
    Field Medic (self-explanatory)
    Demolitionist (Takedowns)
    Commando (Trash clearing)
    Support (Ammo replenishing)
    Anyone other than SWAT (I'll get more into detail why I don't like SWAT)
    You probably know a lot more about the game than I do, though from my personal experience with both solo and team play, it seems like a lot of games devolve into "Hold S, magdump your weapons, hope a few stray bullets hit the head), and I feel like with firefights getting out of control real fast, precision perks might be more of a hindrance than anything when things come down to "Move first, aim later", especially when the Sharpshooter's damage skills often require him to paint himself as a target for the zeds to chew on.
    Personally, I think the Demolitionist is probably the strongest perk on paper having a weapon for every enemy type (RPG-7 for Scrakes, Fleshpounds and EDARs, HX for everything else) and while he has more mobility than Sharpshooter in that he doesn't lose out on any damage by running backwards and shooting, you'll still want a designated damage sponge to keep your targets far enough for your explosive weapons to arm.
    The Zerker's utility as a tank is probably THE most important asset in Suicidal games, and has some pretty good killing power with his melees. Can't imagine how smoothly my multiplayer sessions would go without someone who can take a licking and keep on ticking. Cuz every other perk certainly can't.
    And finally, why I think SWATs are usually a wasted slot: They're essentially a slightly tankier but objectively worse version of the Commando. I think the main reason why the Nailgun gets so much praise has more to do with its base stats rather than how the SWAT's skillset improves on them. You can probably get similar results as a Survivalist while also having a Centerfire as a dedicated medium zed killer. Even then, if you're gonna go Survivalist, it's probably better to go for an RPG+Buckshots+HM101+Hemoclobber combo while using Heavy Weapons Training and Weapon Harness

  • @skully.8955
    @skully.8955 4 роки тому

    I'll be frank, the main reason I play firebug is because that's what I got used to in old killing floor, and despite what everyone kept telling me, it worked.
    but yeah, "chaotic nature and disruption" everything you described with it *can* be a drawback if used incorrectly, the whole point of firebug (to me atleast) is excelled trash clearing and swarm disruption, in other words moments like that time you found yourself cornered by a quarterpound, to me, that's part of my job, heatwave, knock him over, ground napalm a trail so he's slowed and is no longer focusing on you, the guy that requires precise aim.
    chaotic isn't necessarily a bad thing, fire panic becomes useful when it's a scrake or fleshpound swarm that got too close.
    and as for the husk launcher and trench gun, I don't find the weapons awkward personally, but the trench gun is definitely one of the more edged weapons when used correctly, if you go completely for damage perks with firebug, with zed shrapnel, that thing mows.
    the husk launcher is more for people who prefer burst damage like demolition but also afterburn, it's useful in cases like armor or shield stripping, it's also even better at disruption because of the explosive nature that comes with it, although admittedly, more often than not: there's not a use for it, especially with how much weight it takes.

    Personally I would but the demolitionist in first place for 1 reason, HRG Kaboomstick. This weapon is so overpowered to me I get bored whenever I play with it, I can kill fleshpounds in 1 dual barrel shot, scrakes the same. I can kill bosses in a couple double barrel shots. No need to worry about close range which is one of demo's weaknesses, it's a shotguns that's what it's for.
    It's a trash clearing god to me, Can kill big zeds in 1 or 2 double barrel shots, ammo isn't that big of an issue cause there are ammo packs lying everywhere, also you still have space for an extra weapon even if you max upgrade it.

However, the classes that I’ve found are the most difficult to support are gunslinger and survivalist. Maybe it’s because I mostly play on suicidal mode, but those two are never team players.

    Surprised Berserker didn't get a mention on its sustain capability. 2 HP tick regen is huge.

I call these "perks" classes and the perks are what you choose every 5 levels but its whatever, to each their own. I've successfully completed 4 waves Suicidal with just a Katana (maxed out ASAP ofc), loads of fun. Especially with Spartan which allows you to move and attack in real-time during Zed time, I've heard friends go "Holy shit, hes cutting through everything" while they're moving hella slow in Zed Time and ngl, quite a satisfying feeling! As for those wondering why I don't pick up a ranged weapon (Nail Gun, etc), my ranged attack is the Katana's stab (I use this to shutdown Bloaters/Sirens), thats ranged enough for me ^_^ Happy Hunting!
