BEST METHOD for killing a skrake 1. Damage just enough to enrage 2. Forget about the skrake. It’ll probably tire itself out, or maybe your team mates will deal with it, whatever. It’s not your problem, you gotta go grab that ammo pickup and get closer to the pod for next round.
Problem I have with the lore is that the chainsaw literally is the worst thing to use as a way to preform amputations. The reason why is that it would not work is that pulverizes the flesh around the cut, leading to a uneven cut, causing unnecessary bleeding and making it impossible to heal. Also because it can jam in enough vicera, negating the advantages it might give in force, which may be unnecessary considering the scrake is buff.
Fella is right here. Unless the chainsaw is extremely sharp, gutting plentiful enough and it will jam eventually. That's one of the many reasons it's a poor weapon of the choice in the zombie apocalypse, no matter how cool is it. Scrake probably won't care, though! 😝
ChainofSpiders Heh, whacking time instead of massacre time XD (Speaking of that, anyone remember that Texas chainsaw massacre quote by one the the player characters? XD )
Honestly scrakes are a piece of cake, go down fast to headshots. It is the stupid players that make them a threat by enraging them with the wrong weapons, enraging multiple scrakes or doing so when a fleshpound is present. Whenever you happen to run by a scrake and it is not enraged but attacks you, you can use melee punch to cancel its attacks. Life saving tip.
In kf 1 i had one unpleasant situation , and i mean very unpleasant so i was in one spot and while i tried to take on Scrake in 1v1 i had fleshpound attack me from behind , i got chainsaw fisted and pounded to death by them and i played as medic .
I feel like it's important to note that the scrake is easily stumbled by gun bash melee attacks. I've gotten out of a lot of sticky situations by just panic-slapping him with my guns.
Finally a video I've found about this game that doesn't have the host aiming down sights at point blank. That boomstick is my personal favorite. Only 650 dosh is a steal! assist off, hipfire hellfire!
Do not encourage medics to spam Scrakes with the hemoglobin, this causes stumble/flinch animations that only makes headshotting them more difficult for any of the listed effective takedowns. SPX was not listed again for either sharp or GS, another grievous oversight. =/
I did mention coordinating with your team, which that would certainly fall under. Also, I never really feel the SPX fills any important role in my load outs, but that's just me.
@Richard I don't see your initial response ( imgur.com/a/Tvfx1 ) here so I'm assuming i'm just missing it. According to notifications, your initial response read "Tiger Plays the SPX isn't a good weapon stacked up against the mk14 rail gun or 500s/Deags in high level play or for general utility imho. I've never used it and have never had issues..." unfortunately you're talking to a high-level player about high level play- and you're terribly mistaken. I'll go ahead and point out that I'm a CD player, and probably one of the best sharps/slingers in the game on PC- definitely within the top 1%, though certainly Kore is better at EBR Sharp than I am and Erik is probably still a better slinger(along with maybe a few others). While you can visit Kore or Fat Cat's channels, or Mike_5879 or Erik1337(harlock1337)'s twitch If you'd like to see high level play for yourself, if you'd like to experience high level play you're welcome to join me for CD on DTF_v1 with 12 faked, 64+ max monsters, cohortsize 4, spawnpoll 1, and spawnmod 0. Where I'd be happy to demonstrate that the SPX is not only viable but very useful at 'high level play'. otherwise, if we're talking vanilla settings, on 6p HoE the SPX is the only gunslinger weapon that will allow you to takedown multiple QP or SC without having to reload or lineup your targets to take full advantage of penetration. On GS It offers 30 more base damage than the 500's with considerably less recoil, 1-shots mid-tier trash with a sufficient ReU stack, takes 5 headshots to kill an SC or QP and 8 to kill an FP beating out even the 500's in shots to kill. On Sharp it'll beat out the m14 on 6p HoE in both TTK and shots to kill on not only SC and QP at 4 shots (as opposed to ~10), but FP as well at a mere 6-7 shots (as opposed to ~20) The SPX's drawback for sharp (that isn't bad on slinger given zed time reload) is it's reload speed. Typically on 6p HoE a good EBR sharp will use the EBR to provide good trash control while utilizing the SPX for large zed takedowns. This is something I've already explained to you previously on the KF2 subreddit. By the way on long(10 wave) games SC can spawn as early as wave 3 not wave 2.
In testing on Solo Hard games a Scrake will die from 1 or 2 quick full salvo/s of the Hemoglobin (without the bleed Skill). I don't play online much due to griefing players, instant player kicks and really dumb players (Level 0 on HoE, are you serious?!), but as a Medic, I know what I can and can't shoot. While playing Demo, it should be noted that it's best to stun the Scrake with a TNT stick before going for the kill (this can only be done if he is passive and should only be done if you have teammates to focus him down with you).
Good guide on taking down Scrakes by far, and I see the classic headshots from the Sharpshooter still runs well(taking down Scrakes as a Sharpshooter back in KF1 is a part of the duty when the Berserkers is absent to deal with it, usually in the form of a powerful Barrett M99 anti-material rifle. In KF2, it's Railgun instead). I have only tried it on Normal to Hard difficulty, but what about multiple C4s stuck onto his body? How many it would actually need to blow him up to pieces on higher difficulty(just a test run, though, since actual gameplay would use quite a lot of C4s, and you can only hold so much in hands, even as a Demolitionist)?
Don't bother with C4, it reduces its damage output each time you use it in a row. It would take almost all of your c4 before you kill the sc with it. RPG only needs 1 or 2 headshots, depending on your demo skill tree
I figured as much. I asked because I often use C4s during the games, so yeah. Shame that it could see better uses, though... Fun, though(stuck one on his head before; too funny not to laugh! XD )
You used the M99 in KF1? I thought crossbow was the best option...? If one is lucky enough to no-scope a Scrake with a headshot or if there are no zeds to pull you out of scope for the shot, you can easily get a one hit K.O. before he charges. Fleshpounds can go down with 2-3 headshots in normal and hard as long as you keep your distance and you have good aim or good teammates to pick things up if you fumble. I'm not sure about Suicidal and Hell On Earth though...I haven't been brave enough to get there yet. Maybe that's what you were referring to with the M99? I don't know how well it handles, since I've yet to try it. Also, I guess it doesn't help that I'm a level 6 sharpshooter...my argument may not be valid. Please correct me if anything I've said is wrong.
sadisticScribe I have handled both the Crossbow and the M99, and by personal experience, the M99 is easier to handle than the Crossbow, plus more powerful and usually almost guaranteed one-shot kill(haven't gone very far, though, since KF1 have too much level grinding, unlike KF2 which is a lot easier). It's a heavy rifle, though, taking almost all of your inventory space(or weight), though Sharpshooter fortunately have a good amount of headshot damage(even the M9 pistol is more than enough to kill the trash Zeds). The ammunition for it is costly, though(from the last time I played), so they're usually best reserved for the big Zeds. The Railgun's handling should be more or less the same, albeit light enough to let you carry the Winchester rifle.
I just use the berserker class with the shock fist weapon, i always play on hard or higher difficulty and i rarely purchase armor in lower waves because the berserker is durable enough, in wave 9 i was fighting 2 scrakes alone and there's something just so satisfying about literally punching and mingle their faces, in fact i was fighting 2 scrakes alone in the middle of the wave and the end of the wave while the rest were busy with other zed so i had plenty of satisfaction- and run away moments lol
Just pitching in as a FB main,but Dual Spitfires with the left side of the tree can kill a scrake in 2(sort of)mags to the head. Not efficient in any way,but it is good to know if your big zed killers are busy or dead.
I wouldn't advise anyone to use the rpg against the Scrake, until level 20+ and only if you know you won't fuck it up. But I have been playing since early access and I did not know the rpg to the face method, thank you!
I have to disagree with the commando on the scrake specifically, as they are generally still useless against flesh pounds. Using the AK in burst mode while crouched allows for extremely low recoil and high burst damage on its head, and using the stumble perk you can also allows you to knock them back for some distancing if you didn't finish them off with the magazine for whatever reason, allowing for a comfortable reload. This tactic doesn't apply to the AK specifically, as the Scar and the medic rifle are also quite potent, but I prefer the AK for it's higher rate of fire and more predictable recoil while in burst fire.
Firebug is one of the best for scrakes ONLY if you have the microwave gun. Just keep spamming alt fire when it gets close while your team unloads on him and make sure the scrake or other bug zed is right in front of you so you don't waste ammo. This sometimes works for fleshpounds but most of the time when the team see's one they run away... Unless your playing with beast players. Other than that nice vid
Primitive Pestilence I disagree. The requirements to safely kill Scrake or any large zed for firebug is : 1. Lvl 20, to get heat wave 2. MWG 3. Spitfires or Trench gun Compare that to other class: GS only need the dual revolver Sharpie need the railgun or freeze + spx/m14 combo Eviscerator for Zerk Firebug should deal with large zed only when the situation required you to do so. Until then, just kill the trash.
I don't use rack em up as GS since I prefer to have a faster reload when holding two pistols. Both dual deagles and magnums are already good enough to take them down. Just back up and aim for the head.
Ive found the best, and probably the only, way to deal with a group of scrakes, is to divide and conquer. Get one to rage, so you seperate him. Then hes alot easier to deal with. Beserker is the best class for this imo
btw firebug can kill scrakes so well if u use the right skills with microwave gun " heat wave + ground fire" or alt fire mode i play 90% of my games as a medic and using left side skills all time " the healer medic" and i can kill scrakes with 1.5 mags of my shotty to the head as a demo use direct hit skill and do non explosive hit to the head when close or aim to the head an explosive shot that kills too the guide is good and nice effort from u great for newcommer zed killers
I just bought the game 3 days ago and I love playing it. I decided to level up Firebug after trying a few classes and on hard and normal the trench gun and microwave gun seem to do ok at killing Scrakes but you're telling me at higher difficulties I'll be stuck mainly dealing with the small enemies when Scrakes spawn?
As the firebug, yep you will be stuck with dealing damage only to trash and on Suicidal or HoE, even that is sometimes ill-advised as scrakes spawn within a horde of trash and if as the firebug you try to clear the trash, you may accidentally rage it with your ground fire (napalm rage). Maybe this is why almost no-one prefers Firebug on higher difficulties as in the later waves, you may be just standing around doing pretty much nothing and if you do, you make matters worse for your team. RIP cooking zeds to a crisp.
I can 1 vs 1 a scrake on suicidal as zerker normally without getting hit more than once. But yesterday they one hit killed me at 82HP lol what's that about
Wuuut i use field medic as a main and second firebug and i can tell u a flame thrower can sapd their health quickly. My medic grenades drain him fast to where i can just stand in my healing fog and slice em up with the knife.
GitGudTV same here except I mainly use medic and all I really need is either the medic shotgun or the assault rifle. Pair that up with the the level 25 Zed time poison damage and they're pretty easy to bring down with a medic, with all players directing their fire towards a scrake it only takes a few seconds to take them down. Same with bosses. The biggest mistake is letting the big Zed killers get boxed in or chased by an enraged scrake or boss. Teamwork is all it really takes. A medic can help kill the trash zeds while still healing the team. Biggest mistake players make is either splitting or focusing on one task when any character can deal good damage as long as you're working with the team.
JessNW0lfG4NG i usually pair myself with a fellow fire bug or bezerker when it comes to the harder difficult levels. a good sharpshooter can kill scrakes easy as if they are lvl 25 and have the bonus dmg stacks on the scrake while hes frozen by the cryogrenades Can reduce his health dramatically without the need of ally help. Swat is decent too, but only if you have higher tier weapons with a large ammo capacity. I find alot of people die when in the middle of reloading when fighting suicidal level scrakes so if youre low on ammo its better to tuck tail and run rather than advancing on them.
Try to land as many headshots as you can before it rages. Once the scrake is raged, his attacks become unpredictable and following its head becomes trickier. This is why most perks like Gunslinger or sharp try to "kill" the scrake before it goes into a rage.
I've soloed Hell on Earth as medic in KF2. That's some damn bullshit. One, the fully upgraded medic pistol does more damage than the fully upgraded rifle. 1 clip in the pistol is 23 shots, you get 263 bullets when you're full on ammo. It takes 13-23 headshots with the fully upgraded medic pistol to decap a scrake depending on the team size. That's one magazine. Not to mention that as medic, you can eat damage like it's nothing and outheal most of their attacks if you're standing in one of your grenades. Because medics are a tank class, go figure. Scrakes might be resistant to poison but they're even MORE resistant to explosives. Do NOT throw grenades at a scrake or use your m79 or rpg on him at long range. I'm sick of demos ruining entire games for us just because they think they're helping but have no idea what they're doing. RPG is an overrated weapon for demos anyway. It weighs too much and doesn't have enough ammo, not to mention that if you somehow manage to get a shot to explode near you, you'll lose a third of your armor. Fully upgraded m79 is my choice. KF1 taught me never to trust "gimmick" weapons because you'll run out of ammo real quick or die using them.
The reason why medics are advised to stay away from scrakes or fleshpounds is not because they can't deal damage but because their primary objective is to heal. Every second a Medic spends on killing a zed (ANY zed) is a second of not healing, not keeping track of where your teammates are, which Zed is approaching from which direction and who might need 1-on-1 healing in the next few seconds. Raging a scrake will force the medic to kite around as they can't kill the scrake without raging it, move away from where the team is holding and spend generous amounts of time and ammo on 1 Zed. On higher difficulties, this may result in the medic getting strayed away from the team, surrounded and ultimately killed or due to no med grenades and healing, the team will either die, be forced to kite or manage on their own. Each of these outcomes a medic exists to prevent and not cause. Medics can kill scrakes in a clutch when everyone else is dead but a good medic will try to ensure no-one dies in the first place. If you want to kill scrakes, don't be a medic. Hope this helps.
Good that this video doesn't age well, FB is probably among the top classes to kill scrakes, stumble, bash, a shotgun shot will stagger again irrelevant of cooldown, ground fire melts, the husk cannon also staggers every 5th(or so, depending how fast you shoot) shot, a single zed time with a 25 FB kills multiple fleshpounds and scrakes in a full HOE lobby with just dual Spitfires. Class is out of this world in 2020
I take on scrakes as a medic on suicidal. Takes 1 mag with medic assault rifle. I purposely take them on cause as a medic I can heal faster and run faster than most other perks. .... I'm on PS4
Usually that's a poor choice for a Medic since he is supposed to be healing/buffing the other squad mates and help them survive. Now if the team is exceptionally good and not taking any chip damage at all or if it is the lone scrake at the end of the wave, then it might be a good idea to indulge in extra-curricular takedown. But otherwise, stick to healing. Just my opinion. :)
No they didn't... Look on the wiki for scrakes. wiki.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php?title=Scrake_(Killing_Floor_2) They are resistant to piercing, toxic, fire and explosive damage types, but vulnerable to impact from rpgs.
True, Scrakes is the only Zeds I know that actually have real resistance against certain weapons. Fleshpounds is pure damage sponge, though, being able to take so much damage(explosive weapons is extremely good against it, though) before going down.
i love your vids but the scrake and fleshpound are a lot less tough than you make them sound my field medic can own them with about 3 to 4 players on suicidal again love your vids keep it up
While I do not deny the usefulness of this guide in dealing with Scrakes, I'd like to provide additional information by showing you the channel Psych0Gamers - ua-cam.com/users/Psych0Gamers The user Fat Cat periodically does HoE lvl 0 perk challenges successfully, which proves that in contrast to what you have stated a Scrake CAN be killed by a single alt-fire of the Boomstick from a lvl 25 support to the head at point blank range in a single man situation (proof: ua-cam.com/video/-1Wakj4Ml_0/v-deo.html at 31:12)
not to be an asshole but i cringe a little evrytime he sais hemogoblin other then hemoglobin imean even after searching for the weapon i found both names as the answer so im still confused

I find bashing a scrake useful even he is enraged as i can still cancel most if not all attacks.
Scrakes are only really a problem if you get backed up into a corner, or they get accidentally raged by a demo or firebug.

This tactic doesn't apply to the AK specifically, as the Scar and the medic rifle are also quite potent, but I prefer the AK for it's higher rate of fire and more predictable recoil while in burst fire.
Firebug is one of the best for scrakes ONLY if you have the microwave gun. Just keep spamming alt fire when it gets close while your team unloads on him and make sure the scrake or other bug zed is right in front of you so you don't waste ammo. This sometimes works for fleshpounds but most of the time when the team see's one they run away... Unless your playing with beast players. Other than that nice vid
Primitive Pestilence I disagree.
The requirements to safely kill Scrake or any large zed for firebug is :
1. Lvl 20, to get heat wave
2. MWG
3. Spitfires or Trench gun
Compare that to other class:
GS only need the dual revolver
Sharpie need the railgun or freeze + spx/m14 combo
Eviscerator for Zerk
Firebug should deal with large zed only when the situation required you to do so. Until then, just kill the trash.
Muhammad Nazrin Unfortunately most firebug are potatoes and would light everything on fire, rage all the large zeds so they kill eveyone.
Very nice guide
I don't use rack em up as GS since I prefer to have a faster reload when holding two pistols. Both dual deagles and magnums are already good enough to take them down. Just back up and aim for the head.
great video man but you forgot to mention that husks and bloats can rage the sc if they shoot or vomit at him so you better be careful
What's the music in this? It's so fucking good
Ive found the best, and probably the only, way to deal with a group of scrakes, is to divide and conquer. Get one to rage, so you seperate him. Then hes alot easier to deal with.
Beserker is the best class for this imo
I don't even play KF, 'cos i'm broke. But it's so interesting watching these.
you should make a guide like this for each of the bosses!
Very good guide!
I was waiting for this :D
I'd like the "Zed Disposal Guide" title
Please keep doing killing floor 2 vids. I subbed!
Berserker parry + Ion thruster special attack can cut threw Scrakes and knock down enraged fleshpounds
btw firebug can kill scrakes so well if u use the right skills with microwave gun " heat wave + ground fire" or alt fire mode
i play 90% of my games as a medic and using left side skills all time " the healer medic" and i can kill scrakes with 1.5 mags of my shotty to the head as a demo use direct hit skill and do non explosive hit to the head when close or aim to the head an explosive shot that kills too
the guide is good and nice effort from u great for newcommer zed killers
"until next time, happy hunting" You too gaijin
I just bought the game 3 days ago and I love playing it. I decided to level up Firebug after trying a few classes and on hard and normal the trench gun and microwave gun seem to do ok at killing Scrakes but you're telling me at higher difficulties I'll be stuck mainly dealing with the small enemies when Scrakes spawn?
As the firebug, yep you will be stuck with dealing damage only to trash and on Suicidal or HoE, even that is sometimes ill-advised as scrakes spawn within a horde of trash and if as the firebug you try to clear the trash, you may accidentally rage it with your ground fire (napalm rage). Maybe this is why almost no-one prefers Firebug on higher difficulties as in the later waves, you may be just standing around doing pretty much nothing and if you do, you make matters worse for your team. RIP cooking zeds to a crisp.
I just light the scrake on fire so it can panic temporarily for my teammates to fire back at him.
Please, for the love of god, DO NOT light it on fire. Lighting it on fire makes it panic, making head shots impossible to hit.
Wow, has it really been 2 years?
wew it's back
3:35 stalker parade
On their way to the naruto convention
damn i really miss the kf1 soundtrack its so much better than kf2's
I can 1 vs 1 a scrake on suicidal as zerker normally without getting hit more than once. But yesterday they one hit killed me at 82HP lol what's that about
Being a Commando, Equipped with a FAL can take down a Scrake easily, using one magazine that is.
Firebug with microwave weapon and alternative shot can kill a skrage without problems... The alternative shot push back the skrage all the time
So what i learned from this is shoot all scrakes with flamethrowers on HOE.
finally the 2nd episode
It's possible to one-shot Scrakes with the quad barrel on support
Sc basically just bullet sponge, his head way to open and easy to kill even at close distance
Do the Siren next or perk guide on the Demo
Well I always use the M4 headshot the scrake as a support
MOOOOOOMYYY!!
I personally find it easy to kill a scrake with the nail gun
you can kill sc with one full shot of boomstick as long as there are only you or two people in the game
Wuuut i use field medic as a main and second firebug and i can tell u a flame thrower can sapd their health quickly. My medic grenades drain him fast to where i can just stand in my healing fog and slice em up with the knife.
GitGudTV same here except I mainly use medic and all I really need is either the medic shotgun or the assault rifle. Pair that up with the the level 25 Zed time poison damage and they're pretty easy to bring down with a medic, with all players directing their fire towards a scrake it only takes a few seconds to take them down. Same with bosses.
The biggest mistake is letting the big Zed killers get boxed in or chased by an enraged scrake or boss. Teamwork is all it really takes. A medic can help kill the trash zeds while still healing the team. Biggest mistake players make is either splitting or focusing on one task when any character can deal good damage as long as you're working with the team.
JessNW0lfG4NG i usually pair myself with a fellow fire bug or bezerker when it comes to the harder difficult levels. a good sharpshooter can kill scrakes easy as if they are lvl 25 and have the bonus dmg stacks on the scrake while hes frozen by the cryogrenades
Can reduce his health dramatically without the need of ally help. Swat is decent too, but only if you have higher tier weapons with a large ammo capacity. I find alot of people die when in the middle of reloading when fighting suicidal level scrakes so if youre low on ammo its better to tuck tail and run rather than advancing on them.
Thanks
My man
I'm guilty of shooting Scrakes with Flamethrowers, but I can solo them as a Firebug :-D
This is only zed that I got trouble with. I cannot shot his head.
Try to land as many headshots as you can before it rages. Once the scrake is raged, his attacks become unpredictable and following its head becomes trickier. This is why most perks like Gunslinger or sharp try to "kill" the scrake before it goes into a rage.
when are you going to do guides about the VS Matchmaking mode?
Castoli lvl 25 firebug is an easy win m8
the best meta is field medic running across the map at full speed
Nobody plays it
Probably never
Now you tell me Firebug isn't a great perk against them... Wish I knew that 2 hours ago... Also, review the Husk next.
Southern_Cross96 You can, but there's some requirements that you need to get first.
Muhammad Nazrin Fire and never let go. lol
Southern_Cross96 Add spitfire for extra oooommmppphhh
Instant fav
Playing Firebug and saw sc.

Everyone: she'll be fine.
I'm main zerk before, I'm in love~
As a field medic i use 1 medic grenade and 15 pointblank medic shotgun barrage in the head..
I wonder if anybody remembers the hillbilly event in kf1 and if it will come to kf2
nightmare _145 omg yes
I can't believe I'm saying this, but for once don't kill it with fire!
What is the song at the beginning of the vid
I've soloed Hell on Earth as medic in KF2. That's some damn bullshit. One, the fully upgraded medic pistol does more damage than the fully upgraded rifle. 1 clip in the pistol is 23 shots, you get 263 bullets when you're full on ammo. It takes 13-23 headshots with the fully upgraded medic pistol to decap a scrake depending on the team size. That's one magazine. Not to mention that as medic, you can eat damage like it's nothing and outheal most of their attacks if you're standing in one of your grenades. Because medics are a tank class, go figure. Scrakes might be resistant to poison but they're even MORE resistant to explosives. Do NOT throw grenades at a scrake or use your m79 or rpg on him at long range. I'm sick of demos ruining entire games for us just because they think they're helping but have no idea what they're doing. RPG is an overrated weapon for demos anyway. It weighs too much and doesn't have enough ammo, not to mention that if you somehow manage to get a shot to explode near you, you'll lose a third of your armor. Fully upgraded m79 is my choice. KF1 taught me never to trust "gimmick" weapons because you'll run out of ammo real quick or die using them.
Headshoting scrakes makes them so easy yo kill.
Medic has no business attacking the scrake? Have you ever unloaded onto one and realized how much damage you actually dealt? Explain please.
The reason why medics are advised to stay away from scrakes or fleshpounds is not because they can't deal damage but because their primary objective is to heal. Every second a Medic spends on killing a zed (ANY zed) is a second of not healing, not keeping track of where your teammates are, which Zed is approaching from which direction and who might need 1-on-1 healing in the next few seconds. Raging a scrake will force the medic to kite around as they can't kill the scrake without raging it, move away from where the team is holding and spend generous amounts of time and ammo on 1 Zed. On higher difficulties, this may result in the medic getting strayed away from the team, surrounded and ultimately killed or due to no med grenades and healing, the team will either die, be forced to kite or manage on their own. Each of these outcomes a medic exists to prevent and not cause. Medics can kill scrakes in a clutch when everyone else is dead but a good medic will try to ensure no-one dies in the first place. If you want to kill scrakes, don't be a medic. Hope this helps.
Please tell me thats not a- *HOH MY GOD! WAHH*
Good that this video doesn't age well, FB is probably among the top classes to kill scrakes, stumble, bash, a shotgun shot will stagger again irrelevant of cooldown, ground fire melts, the husk cannon also staggers every 5th(or so, depending how fast you shoot) shot, a single zed time with a 25 FB kills multiple fleshpounds and scrakes in a full HOE lobby with just dual Spitfires.
Class is out of this world in 2020
I take on scrakes as a medic on suicidal. Takes 1 mag with medic assault rifle. I purposely take them on cause as a medic I can heal faster and run faster than most other perks. .... I'm on PS4
Usually that's a poor choice for a Medic since he is supposed to be healing/buffing the other squad mates and help them survive. Now if the team is exceptionally good and not taking any chip damage at all or if it is the lone scrake at the end of the wave, then it might be a good idea to indulge in extra-curricular takedown. But otherwise, stick to healing. Just my opinion. :)
@@m22d889 you are probably right. It explains why i see enraged scrakes coming from both sides
Tripwire got rid of Zed resistances a while ago
No they didn't... Look on the wiki for scrakes.
wiki.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php?title=Scrake_(Killing_Floor_2)
They are resistant to piercing, toxic, fire and explosive damage types, but vulnerable to impact from rpgs.
True, Scrakes is the only Zeds I know that actually have real resistance against certain weapons. Fleshpounds is pure damage sponge, though, being able to take so much damage(explosive weapons is extremely good against it, though) before going down.
Fire will make it react in pa8n at times causing it to not attack for a brief moment
What's that test map you're using?
KF-SomeTestMap
thanks my dude 👌
but how do i deal with clots?
Those guys are almost as OP as Cysts.
i love your vids but the scrake and fleshpound are a lot less tough than you make them sound my field medic can own them with about 3 to 4 players on suicidal again love your vids keep it up
It different on HoE
While I do not deny the usefulness of this guide in dealing with Scrakes, I'd like to provide additional information by showing you the channel Psych0Gamers - ua-cam.com/users/Psych0Gamers
The user Fat Cat periodically does HoE lvl 0 perk challenges successfully, which proves that in contrast to what you have stated a Scrake CAN be killed by a single alt-fire of the Boomstick from a lvl 25 support to the head at point blank range in a single man situation (proof: ua-cam.com/video/-1Wakj4Ml_0/v-deo.html at 31:12)
Parrying them is a bitch sometimes, I can't seem to get used to their attack animations >:(
not to be an asshole but i cringe a little evrytime he sais hemogoblin other then hemoglobin imean even after searching for the weapon i found both names as the answer so im still confused
Berserker ?
Using the cross bow will stun faster
Lvl 25 demo here, nope takes me 2 shots
I just run Berserker lmao
