Has anyone developed a de_rats style map yet? I think I played one that was kinda in that vein called KF-ChineseCheckers, but it was super weird.

Yes, Rats Manor. It takes props from the Manor map and makes you really tiny.

It's a little funky, though. There's pillows stacked up to a bed in order to make a staircase, but the pillows can still be knocked around like physics objects so it's pretty common for them to just disappear altogether.

I had no idea the trader lines had all this poo poo, even the double bladed gore.

They talk about the Matriarch, her mech phase, she can capture a teammate and you have to free them with bladed weapons, various objective modes, all kinds of poo poo.

Edit: Does anyone have a fix for the long rear end time that this game takes to load?

Every single PC game I have loads just fine and quickly, KF2 takes a solid 2 or 3 minutes before it finally starts up.

Is there a perk that let's me totally poo poo on flesh pounds and scrakes? Ps4 Pubbies simply cannot handle these dudes. Medic isn't exactly the counter and demo does well against the FP, but poorly against scrakes it feels.

Demos are delete buttons for large zeds. To handle Scrakes, you just need to aim the rocket launcher at their heads. On hard and Suicidal with <3 people, a single headshot with a rocket kills them instantly. On anything higher, it takes just two. With the right perks, of course.

SWAT and Sharpshooter are also pretty good with flashbangs and the railgun.

Firebug is also good as a screen wipe but that's in the PC beta only.

Yeah, this really is the answer unless Tripwire can fix something. I had KF2 installed on a SSD but then moved it over to my mass-storage HDD, and I couldn't believe how long it takes to load. I moved it back over to the SSD and it's like loving night and day.

9 shots with the 9mm and a rocket to the head will decap a scrake instantly, 6 with the medic pistol, this is on HoE mind you. Fleshpounds in general are weak to explosives so they take like 2 or 3 rockets.

Zerkers can decap scrakes with 2 evis headshots, 4 for fleshpounds(pulv is much better for fleshpounds I feel)

SWAT can stun and mag dump into their heads.

Sharp and the railgun.

Zerker is your best bet if you wanna take down the big poo poo and be self sufficient but he really struggles on maps that don't have room to run around.

Skrakes take significantly reduced explosive damage but are specifically weak to the impact of the rocket projectile, so aim for their body/head and not their feet. Even if you're too close for the warhead to arm, the impact damage alone is worth it. The M79 isn't great against them though, avoid using it on them unless they're really far off and can be killed before getting close, or if he's already been aggro'd by your teammates. Then you might as well help out.

Oh, and the rocket can knock both skrakes and fleshies off their feet, which is often enough for teammates to take them down while they're trying to recover.

Bone crusher will block more damage.
They're toning down the beefiness of the microwave gun.
Emotes will actually exist now and will have "deluxe" versions with particle effects.
Seasonal events basically confirmed.
Both bosses got a health nerf when playing in a group but a damage/health buff in solo.

Yeah, I mean as far as changelogs go, this is really solid. They didn't gently caress with C&B groundfire (good, because that was never OP) and depending on how much they reduced micro, it could be just right. The majority of the beta changes moving over unmodified is great. Having more guns qualify as on perk has done great things for build variety, and while I'll miss running akimbo 500s on three different classes, I can live with just two. We can finally melt down crates into crafting materials so this might finally do some good for the KF2 marketplace and clean out inventories at the same time. Emotes mean very little, but hey whatever.

I wish there was a bullet point on fixing the random siren instakill, but the rest of it is quite good, especially considering some past beta to main branch changes they've made.

The MG doesnt need a nerf after getting buffed and taking away the dual .500 from SS is stupid.

Also, decreased boss health for online play? As if they didn't already make it easy enough.

I dunno, the 500 change feels reasonable because the damage/ROF for akimbo feels a little high. I think we all here have noticed Gunslinger feeling a little invalidated by Sharp in the current build.

MWG groundfire, while fun, is broken. Six firebugs, tap shooting the floor NEXT to a boss, shouldn't be able the most effective way to kill a boss by a huuuuuuge margin.

Theta Zero
Dec 22, 2014

I've seen it.
MG is so broken that we just call it the "win button" now and always completely swap to Firebug for the boss. Also the bosses are only easy because of the MG, and without it they're actually pretty alright but really bullet-spongey which the health nerf helps alleviates.

As for the .500's, I honestly don't think it matters too much since the reloads are stupid-long and you can't get rack-em-up as Sharpshooter with fast reloads since they're on the same tier, versus Gunslinger which has them on separate tiers. You can't carry dual .500's with anything substantial as Sharpshooter anyways.

To the goon I was with in that PS4 lobby, I didn't leave the dumb gently caress retarded stupid idiotic rear end in a top hat pubbies vote kicked me after failing kick to the medic.

I really should just start sandbagging instead of going maximum carry to worthless teammates. Goons are the exception, don't care if you're bad or good long as you are having fun.

Those changes seem ok, hopefully the PS4 gets that patch soon, I want more cosmetics though, like hair and poo poo, let me slap an afro on foster or chate Ana's mohawk.

Sorry, I'm terminally incapable of searching names without asking a million questions. Are you Lin Kurosawa on psn, or is that a second goon? I did a search for kf2 groups, but didn't see an obvious goon one.
