Dunno how it could look better without losing the cool modular design though

It's comparatively bad right now because no perk interacts with it, but in and of itself it seems like a decent weapon. Damage is somewhat low-ish, but it's fast and offers good reach on swings. Most importantly it's hella fun to go all Kill Bill on a bunch of clots and watch the bodyparts fly. Just using it for a while basically put the martial arts perk at the top of the list of things I'm looking forward to, it seems like it could be insanely fun and useful with a perk that profits from it.

I've heard that there will be 10 perks in the final release of the game, that made me really upset. If Tripwire were to add new perks, just 1 or maximum of 2. 10 perks would be really confusing. they way I play killing floor is, that I see what perks the players have and what perk is required, for example: I see 2 commandos, 1 sharpshooter , 1 firebug, one demolitions dude, so I need to be the medic. that's how I usually play KF. but having 10 perks I believe would turn this game into some RPG'ish game tbh. 10 perks would be really abnormal to have in KF2.

What do you guys think? is 10 perks a good idea?

No one saw the thing in the spoiler Next time I won't even provide the source!

I mean, there's a pretty simple way of fixing them, in the abstract: instead of punishing players for having the wrong type of gun, reward them for having the right type. Make it so that if a zed resists a certain type of damage, it takes 80-90% of the damage it took before, and if it's weak to a damage type, it takes 125-150% of the base amount instead.

Then, simplify damage types into melee/bullet/fire/explosive (add shotguns as a fifth if you want), and make sure that each damage type is weak/strong against no more than a couple of enemies each. Then, be incredibly open about which enemy fits in which category for each gun - put it on loading screens, in an in-game codex and on the store page for each gun in the block of stats, so that players never have to remember the information or consult an external source for it, and can just look ingame.

It would end up as a codification and extension of what was there before with husk fire resistance and scrake explosive resistance, which is good, while also not being unfun and punishing for players.

Just saw that and was going to message him but apparently he got there first. Sucks that he had to go actually post and explain how he can be a grumpy old man here. Hopefully he doesn't get any blowback

E. I'm kind of confused how a random non-goon could even find him here, unless it's some hard core lurker
