I hope that at some point TWI adds a feature that lets me temporarily "down-level" myself. So say I'm level 24 or whatever and I can pick, just for that match alone, to play as a level 7 or 4 or whatever. The reason I want this is because in KF1 it kinda sucked when you had all your perks at the max level and you had a buddy that just picked up the game on Steam sale so you go play on a normal server with him and it's just a total snoozefest because you're breezing through everything with all your skill bonuses and such. Being able to play at a lower level more appropriate for the easier difficulties would be great and avoid this.

Also can you still die to the boss when he's in his little spawning in cutscene? Cause that was hilarious every time in KF1.

Tried out berserker and oh my god the Eviscerator is amazing. 10/10 ~~best~~ most fun weapon in the game.

Also I feel like when Sharpshooter gets added, scrakes and Fleshpounds are gonna become a lot easier to deal with (once every gets their Ss ranked up) if they're anywhere near as powerful as they were in the first game.

Also I miss my crossbow.

I feel like I'm the only one that didn't really enjoy the crossbow. I mean it was really good and all but when I play KF I want my weapons to go bang bang. I'd be completely ok with the M99 replacing the crossbow in KF2 (using the crossbow stats of course so it isn't 250 dosh/round).

KF1 actually had a "last weapon" quickchange like CS bind-able key. So of course I bound it to q in KF1 and now it's loving me up super hard.

Unfortunately though one thing that really made the Commando great was lowered recoil as you leveled and that seems to have been removed. A lot of the Commando perk combinations don't seem to make sense with what they're paired with for you to pick from and the Nightvision that Beserker and Commando have access to is pretty much useless. If they're going to do extremely dark maps like they used to, something like Nightvision should be an all inclusive thing instead of just limited to two classes that have no real use for them.

The weird thing about Commando night vision is that the SCAR has a flashlight so it needs NVGs a lot less than other classes. At least once they fix the SCAR's flashlight which I'm assuming they will given that it's modelled onto the gun.

Still going to take NVGs though because gently caress y'all more stalker kills for me :unsmigghh:

No. Bash is equivalent to one left-click, or the first attack in your left-click combo, which is the light attack combo. Right-click is the heavy attack and may have additional effects (e.g. the Berserker shotgun hammer explosive shell).

Get whatever tier 2 weapon you feel like using and get ammo, then save up for your T4.

The best weapon is always the T4 weapon except for the Berserker where you might want the hammer instead of the eviscerator. Just grab the two most expensive weapons in your perk weapon group and you're set (or the most expensive one and the next one down if the T3 won't fit due to weight).

Also which heavy swing you do is dependent on which movement key, so holding down forward while heavy attacking with the shovel will do an overhead swing, while holding down left/right will cause your character to swing left/right respectively, and holding down back does an upward swing. Handy because the left and right swings have a wider arc to them. Also you can launch zeds upwards with the up swing!

Is that Combat Shotty even worth it as support? I prefer going straight from the double-barrel to the AA12. There's no damage difference at all among those three, and I could give a rat's rear end about accuracy, because shotguns. Even the decreased fire rate of the double-barrel compared to the Combat seems negated by just having someone cover my rear end while I use the special two-shot thing on the double-barrel.

Combat shotgun sucks rear end, but having a tighter spread is pretty decent actually. It's really noticeable when spraying down a hallway with a hunting shotgun versus the AA-12 or even the pump-action.

I had this happen on Support once too.

Was it when you first got the +ammo perk? It happened to me when I first levelled up to rank 5 and it gave the ammo perk which didn't change the total amount of ammo in my pump-action, but I could pick up ammo from boxes to the correct amount and every gun I bought after had the correct amount. I fixed the issue by dropping and picking my shotgun back up with backspace. I haven't bothered to test it yet but I imagine the problem also happens if you switch from supplier to the +ammo perk mid-match.

Haha had a game earlier on ~Goon Squad~ that resulted in 5 of us dying to one Scrake cause we decided to bunch up on a corner. No one saw that coming at all!

I can't decide if I want Supplier or 20% extra ammo. Supplier is great especially if you've got other supports on your team and/or people love throwing grenades, but I really notice the loss of extra ammo in those longer waves.

In KF1, yeah. KF2 is definitely all projectile. You gotta lead with rifles and pistols.

Actually in KF1 it's always hitscan no matter what. It's really obvious when it goes into ZED Time while playing Commando and you fire one bullet and the zed's head pops instantly while the tracer effect slowly makes it's way over and doesn't even hit where you were aiming.

But yeah I want to say that it's all projectile in KF2.

So I've discovered that sprinting at Scrakes charging you works surprisingly well. They don't turn too well so if you sprint past them while they're charging at you you'll take far less damage than trying to back up (and sometimes dodge their attack completely). Also if they're near full HP you can stun them with your weapon butt which is a good way to open on them. All this is on hard mind you so maybe on suicidal/HoE they get some crazy gently caress you attack if you try this.

Just uh, make sure you don't instinctively hit reload and cause you to be unable to sprint cause then you'll still eat the full attack and die probably.

Lemon Curdistan posted:

Have they revealed any info about the new perks or are you just assuming the helmet perk is a SWAT perk? Because it's probably far more likely that it's a heavy weapons guy who gets LMGs and the LAW.

Well considering that there's supposed to be 10 perks and the missing originals + SWAT, Dragon and Gunslinger adds to 10 with the 4 in the game, it's pretty reasonable to assume that SWAT is the helmet perk unless you think TWI is going to spring a SURPRISE 11TH PERK on us. Also LAW is probably going to go to demo this time around and I hope it's not poo poo (it will probably be poo poo).

I kinda doubt law will be in, but there aren't that many options for the 4th demo weapon if you assume that the others are single shot, semi-auto and pipes. Laws were just too specialized, and they seem to be going for a smaller arsenal for now. Heck, for all any of us know it will be pipes that get the boot (the pipe bomb hat period was magical).

Well I assume the LAW's going to make a comeback in some form because there's some voice-lines pertaining to firing rockets, though I guess it's probably an RPG now?

Even the shotguns in KF1? Cause All my experience with trying to deal with crawlers on the overpass on west london using a shotgun tells me they are projectile.

They should bump the Combat Shotgun's ammo up to 80 base like the AA-12 if they're going to keep it at the current price and weight so when I do feel like using one I don't feel like I'm gimping myself by almost halving my available ammo.

Alternatively, lower its weight to 4 and make it a viable alternative backup to the AA-12 and still allow for a heal pistol

except also probably have to lower the price too slightly in that case because otherwise it still won't see much use.

It's not as bad as a basically everything else, and I guess it might help a little bit with Scrakes and Pounds. But everything else is probably dying in a single blow or two, before they can attack, and Scrakes and Pounds will still gently caress your poo poo up, even with a 25% damage reduction.

Yeah but they'll gently caress you up 25% slower, giving your team more time to dump into them, which sounds pretty great. Also I've had plenty of times where I miss my swing on a Gorefast's head whack him in the chest instead, letting him slash me which adds up after a while, but maybe that's just cause I'm a bad Zerker I dunno. :shrug:

Keep in mind the 1014 is strictly an upgrade compared to the hunting shotgun (same damage, semi-auto means you can put out rounds faster than the hunting shotgun, takes less time to load two shells than it takes to reload the hunting shotgun, etc.).

Same damage per pellet, but the Hunting Shotgun fires 12 pellets/shot while the 1014 only does 7 pellets/shot. The only thing the 1014 is a strict upgrade from is the pump action. That said the thing I enjoy the most about the 1014 is the tight spread which is really noticeable when you're firing at a group of zeds not right next to you compared to the Hunting Shotgun.
