    Demo weapons, what do you use?

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 02:46 PM PST

    Title ^

    I keep reading RPG/Deagle/C4

    I personally grab the m79 ASAP and run that + starter pistol until I can grab the MGL (m32?). Then sell off starter.

    Edit: and also what is your reasoning?

    Do Medic weapons that heal without darts benefit from the medic buff perks?

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 11:14 AM PST

    For example the Healthrower - do players healed by the beam get affected by the speed/damage buff or does it only count for darts?

    Couldn't find any resources anywhere to confirm how it works.

    If anyone's got any good up to date websites for loadouts and perk selection please link, I've not played much since EDAR were added.

    If you had to redo the zeds, what would you change?

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 01:00 AM PST

    If I had to redo the zeds, this is what I would do:

    • Cyst - remove, it's a pointless zed, clots provide easy dosh just as well
    • Clot - no changes or removed in favor of nerfed slashers in greater numbers
    • Slasher - no changes, although I wonder do we actually need 3 slashing/scratching zeds (slasher, crawler, stalker). Perhaps, slashers should be the easiest zeds then and replace clots in a nerfed version. On the other hand, I understand that crawlers are more like sneaky, fast horizontal slashers (hard to shoot in the head, hard to see agains black background, hard to understand, if they are dead or alive) and slashers are straightforward vertical slashers.
    • Crawler - no changes, elite crawlers are fine, although I don't approve of cluster spawns of elite crawlers on HoE.
    • Stalker - no changes
    • Gorefast - only visual changes: that metal blade and lack of one arm don't make sense, give them claws (like in KF Mod, but bigger and for both arms), gorefiends are ok as more resistant version of gorefasts.
    • Bloat - no changes
    • Rioter - remove in favor of upgraded siren (see below)
    • Siren - visual changes: change her from a walking carcass into a "normal" woman (like a stalker), give her two voice modes: one for damaging players, one for buffing and raging zeds, reduce her head health and perhaps give her jumping abilities and greater agility (like a hunter in L4D)
    • E.D.A.R. - remove, there is no place for robots among zeds or just keep them for Matriarch rounds.
    • Husk - reduce the reach of his jet of flame and reduce his head health, and, if you really miss E.D.A.R. capabilities (immobilize, rockets, lasers), transfer them to husks.
    • Scrake - no changes
    • Quarterpound - no changes or remove (too easy and redundant)
    • Fleshpound - instead of chasing the player when enraged, he heals on trash zeds or on players (if no trash zeds are around) and gets a shield (like Hans).
    • Bosses: never ever, during my KF1 matches, did I wish for more bosses. Patriarch was enough for me and I would still not cry over lack alternatives. But I guess I'm in the minority here, so Hans and Matriarch are fine, too. Matriarch should be nerfed though (or atleast remove the E.D.A.R.s).
    • Abomination and King Fleshpound shouldn't be bosses, because they have no personality or agenda. They should be demoted to lieutenants in the final rounds (one of each per round). I would keep their powers and armor, nerf their health and put them as regular enemies in the regular rounds. Also, perhaps, Abomination can spawn elite crawlers instead of abomination spawns or, alternatively, less abomination spawns.

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 10:00 AM PST

    This post is for those considering buying it. I personally don't like the ice effect it doesn't feel like a shotgun but it's ok in power. The axe is fine but I'd rather use the medic bat for the price

    Is it just me or are the trader times shorter on suicidal?

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 09:29 AM PST

    I can't test it right now but it's something I was thinking about. Some of these maps are so big by the time I get to the trader I barely have any time to buy stuff

    Bonus points on suicidal. Like you are completely useless to the team either play as zerk or something else.

    No Ammo box in Elysium main arena?

    Posted: 09 Dec 2020 12:23 AM PST

    I only played a couple games on HoE so not sure about other levels, but there is no ammo box at all in the main arena, and this is not how it is in beta. Did it only happen to my game or is that happening to everyone? Also Frost Fang is so good, it basically lowers the difficulty by 1 level lol.

    Pretty new to KF2, just have some questions.

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 04:21 PM PST

    1. How hard is it to clear gaps between difficulties? Are they fairly paced out or is there a point where the difficulty curve becomes a difficulty wall?
    2. How good is the AA-12 on Support? I'm only using it cause I recognized it from PAYDAY 2 lol.
    3. What's the best perk and the worst perk? I know that answer probably relies a lot on difficulty, skill and bias. I'm just looking for personal opinion cause I wanna try stuff out.
    4. Is there any drama concerning Tripwire? Not exactly familiar with the company, just something I like to know before I get invested with a game.
    5. Best Maps?

    Frost fang feels really good on Survivalist

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 06:50 PM PST

    Melee Expert seems to work with Frost Fang. Frost Fang alone allows you to solo kill SC quickly. Takes more shots on FP but with parry and the move speed bonus it's also an easy kill. Not to mention the new weapon swap bonus, which allows you to freeze zeds and swap to burst weapons (e.g. m4) if necessary.
