Yesterday I joined a public server with three people in it. The first thing I noticed were the furry avatars that all three of them had. The next thing I noticed was the barrage of ethnic slurs being targeted at me.

And a warning: it is almost certain that we will wipe all statistics, including Perk leveling and Achievements one or more times during Early Access!

I don't know if that means at the very end of SEA there will be a wipe but we could have multiple wipes during SEA. Again we should probably throw that tidbit in the OP.

So far this is my favorite song in the soundtrack. But while I like the lyrics, the screamo segments were too hardcore for me, so I just took them out. I think it turned out okay.

I know they aren't rely looking for gameplay additions atm. But I was thinking a grenade upgrade for the commando could be either an area of increased damage or an area that increases damage. Either way it ties into commando as leader directing the troops. Please give commando some love!

Something clicked for me earlier with the Berserker parry and holy poo poo is that class satisfying to play when you get that down. At one point I had 2 FPs beating on me and managed to parry almost every one of their attacks while one teammate healed me and another whittled them down. It seems much easier to do in a game where you have good ping, it must not be a client side thing?.

This is such a minor annoyance but I really wish my gun would go into ironsights directly after reloading when I click my aim button during the actual reload itself.

Seen some pretty effective zerkers rushing him with that buzzsaw thing. You can circle-strafe him pretty easily and avoid a lot of damage that way; all you have to watch out for is his AoE gas. Seemed like they did good damage to him (in that they killed him without me using an AA-12). Which, really is all I could ask for.

The AA12 is such an amazing weapon. Saving money is hard, though; even using the pistol to conserve money, I still need to load up on armor and ammo afterwards and I barely have any money. I don't remember the money game in the original being this hard.

Another minor QoL thing would be to get crouch and ads on classic hold-to-use instead of a toggle. Maybe you can already do it but I didn't find the option.

E: regarding money, get usef to places where things spawn. Bringing additional shovels and assault rifles to the trader can add up quickly. Do you use a lot of nades early? If not, don't buy them since each ammo box contains one so you will be stocked by the time you use them. Be critical in the same way regarding ammo IF it is early in the match and you have a good idea how much you use.

And, of course, shoot dem zeds real good. Nothing beats that. Remember you don't need the kill, if you contributed a lot to a takedown you will get your fair share.

So I just ran into level 25s and I'm wondering whether or not this is the benefit of betaing. I mean, they were fun enough to know how to money rain so they couldn't be that bad even if they played with their character data.

Perks where reset so if you bumped into 25's they either cheated or mega poop socked.

I'm up to 11 on zerk with 14 hours, mostly on normal and one on suicidal so I imagine its possible.

Bumped into a pubbie welding EVERY door, ran off constantly, bragged about having all the kills, true KF experience. :allears:

Also, does anyone if hans has any anti melee attacks? Me and a pub where pounding on him, suddenly explosion and we died from full health, I didn't see him toss nades either.

He has an AOE self-destruct kind of attack that only seems to shoot out neurotoxin. He's got a massive tell when he does it, he kind of recoils and pulls his arms into his chest and mentions that you're too close.

I think it'd be cool if the medic guns' lights gradually changed color to reflect their charge status. Blue at 100, red at 0.

Am I the only one who completely skips the SMG and often skips the shotgun as Medic? The AR is just so much better than both of them that getting it by wave 3 is the best thing. (I of course get the shotgun after the AR once I can afford it)

The boss fights are still the absolute worst thing about this game, the new guy doesn't have instant kills but he's still a chore. Him and the Patriarch just feels at odds with the rest of the game and I never enjoyed fighting them.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but as long as you damage something when it dies you get full experience from it. Once I started putting a round or two into FPs and Scrakes as Commando and then focusing on the trash I started jumping up in level. If you see a Bloat stumbling around without a head shoot it once to get the XP.

I'm not sure if you shoot something with two different perk weapons that you get XP for both of them when it dies.

You do, a friend of mine is leveling zerk like me but carries around the medic pistol and he leveled medic to 1 just from healing people.

Hans is actually pretty easy to kill if you have a team that knows a little bit about his mechanics. I've found the only problem occurs when people bunch up and get gassed because of it. Otherwise, just have some teammates with AA-12s and he'll fall.

I think this game will be a lot easier when more classes come in. Having a good Demo and Sharp should make tough enemies and Hans much easier, and that's not including what the new classes will bring to the table.

Just tried this on a normal 7 wave pub server with 3 players. By the time I ran out of gas, he had just turned yellow. Also I still died first, I'm pretty sure he aggros whoever's closest and that's always the zerker.

If you can parry you'll be doing everyone a huge favor by keeping him pre-occupied for even 10 seconds

Don't use the saw blade thing, its garbage, just hammer smack him and have a good medic to keep you alive, also know when to back off you can't stay on him forever.

Hell no, the SMG is an absolute beast for trash clearing in the early waves. It's super accurate, cheap, and quick to reload. I can't get to grips with the AR and usually just stick with the SMG. The AR is too inaccurate and as a Medic your main job is to clear trash and keep your Zerker and Support buddies healthy while they kill the Scrakes and Fleshpounds for you, and I think the SMG is better for that than the AR.

E: Although I'm reading that the AR is much better for healing than the SMG, which might mean I'll start buying it more often.

As a medic you will never be the best scrake slayer or what have you. So you could wait and get a gun with 30 rounds in a mag with a bit of recoil and decent accuracy that can pop heads of the basic zeds in one shot, or you get the cheaper/earlier gun with 40 rounds in a mag with no recoil worth mentioning and really great accuracy that can pop heads of the basic zeds in one shot. Which you can get earlier and thus make more money earlier and easier. Then get the shotgun so you can be scrake slayer assistant. Then switch the smg for the AR for the boss since the AR heals way better and the smg is utter poo poo against bigger targets.

This is the outlook of a filthy casual but I've think Commando with Bullpup, SCAR, then throwing on the Medic SMG is cool because that is a shitload of bullets and you also have a heal dart.

Though that's not exactly a lot of high profile murder firepower either, when the SCAR is your hardest hitting weapon :v: But not like you can fit an AA12 alongside any Commando weapon but the Varmint rifle anyways if you wanna stay on perk.

Medic Pistol and Medic SMG are the only weapons I think of for Off perk because they are also the lowest weight guns in the game so I might be able to actually cram them into my inventory on top of a pair of Commando/Support/Berserker weapons, nevermind their heal darts on top. I should probably change that, or at least be willing to pick up medic guns earlier even if I'm not a medic.

I roll with the SCAR, Double Barrel, and the shovel just to take up space if I accidentally run over a Vermin or shotgun. Max your grenades because they do a TON of damage to FPs. Don't waste HE nades on Scrakes though.
