How are the shotguns off the bat in KF2? I'm hoping they aren't weak pieces of poo poo with very little penetration.

Support feels like the best class so far. It's great for multikills and is by far the best class for quickly dealing a lot of damage to tough enemies and Hans. Once you get a few levels in it, you can really shred through groups of enemies with the increased penetration. The only issue is with ammo, but picking off trash from a distance with the 9mm is a big help for conserving ammo. I'm not really sold on Zerk ATM. The only advantage it has over support is being able to tank with parry (which I haven't gotten used to yet).

Alkydere posted:There's a medic shotgun too! To quote the pastor: "Deals out judgement AND healing!", also "Looks like a toy, kicks like a mule!" That's my experience as well. Once I hit level 2 with Support, it got much more powerful. I wish they'd actually give you some improvements when you pick a class off the bat instead of forcing you to level up your perk so you get something as basic as being able to see cloaked Stalkers or have a noticeable penetration bonus with the shotguns. It's pretty stupid.

Skoll posted:I don't mind the levelling. Max perk in KF 1, you could only see Stalkers and health up to 16m. I'm almost Level 8 and I can already see up to 25m. I have a feeling classes are going to be WAAAY more powerful as they level and its meant to shift players onto the harder difficulties so the game is ultimately more rewarding. I just wish the perks had some sort of power right off the bat though. It's pretty silly picking a perk and being just slightly more powerful than not having a perk at all (except for Zerk).

Getting used to the new leveling system takes a little bit of time. At first, I just popped what was getting close to me, but it seems like the system is built around you shooting as much as you can. Once I started hitting every enemy I could as Commando, it leveled up much faster.

Forcing you to pick between tactical reload and improved single-fire damage is BS, though.

Opposing Farce posted:I want to like Berserker more than I actually do. In theory I'm all about running around and parrying and chopping down enemies in melee, but I haven't been able to find the right groove for it. I'm not as good at swinging for the head as I'd like to be and I haven't totally wrapped my mind around the parry/block mechanic yet. I probably just have to play with it some more until I get a hang of the playstyle, or maybe the other melee perk will end up being more my speed. Heh, I'm going through the same thing at the moment. The Zerk's new weapons scream "pure offense" to me, which makes it hard for me to mentally get used to blocking instead of just wailing on everything with the shovel or Pulverizer until they all die.

Lemon Curdistan posted:Yeah, the M4 is real bad and needs to weigh a lot less (drop it to 6, drop the A12 to 8-9) so you can have it as an upgrade to the Mossberg alongside the AA12. As it is the weight means you can't use it alongside an AA12, the price means you don't actually want to buy it anyway because you could just save for an AA12 instead, and the tiny magazine and shell-by-shell reload are a huge liability. My main issue is the price being ridiculous. You can save 400 more dosh and get the ultimate Scrake and Fleshpound-buster instead of what feels like a Mossberg 500 sidegrade. A Boomstick and AA-12 is going to get you a lot farther than a Boomstick and Combat Shotgun will.

DoombatINC posted:Oh drat, the burst fire on the Varmint Rifle feels awful. I think it might actually be worse as a rapid fire tool than semi. The burst needs to be much faster, right now it's so chunky and slow and bad I do the same thing. The burst-fire is pretty much useless.

Section Z posted:Don't be afraid to use your baby 9mm pistol to kill trash (Cysts, clots, slashers, crawlers, the occasional gorefast) in the early waves, or even later ones just to conserve ammo for your fun guns (Hmm, do I want to use an entire shotgun cell for a lone clot? Do I want to walk all the way over there to shovel a Bloat to death, or shoot him in the face so he doesn't spit on me?) I'm getting used to the 9mm actually being useful as a non-Sharp. :P It's particualry helpful with Support, as you don't really spawn in with a lot of ammo for the Mossberg 500. Unless you see a juicy multikill, just use the 9mm.

My rule is to never buy the T3 weapon as Commando or Support, but do so as Zerk or Medic. It works very well.

Accordion Man posted: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. 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.

ShadowMar posted:It still feels weird not being able to go demo on boss wave, can't wait for all the perks to be in. 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.

Athropos posted:Probably gonna stop playing this until we get more content. I don't play a whole lot anyways and just the ideas of losing all perk progress is kind of turning me off. I never liked levels in shooters anyways. In the original KF I gave myself level 3 in every perk to get a decent base to start from just to be functionnal in a team with whatever perk I chose. I'm doing the same thing. I'll pop it and play once in a while, but I'm not going to get super-invested in it like I did with KF1 until it's close to having all of the perks and more maps. I think it would be dumb getting really into it when it's got only three maps at a handful of perks ATM.

dogstile posted:On that note, i'd really like it if people that had only shot like, one bullet or so could not pick up ammo. It's even worse when a Commando or Medic grabs an ammo box and I'm a Support. Supports need a few extra shells far more than you need an extra magazine for your automatic weapons.

Chard posted:Stepped up from Hard to Suicidal tonight, now everything is so drat fast! That being said we did pretty well until we got separated on a late wave and I got stranded alone with a mess of scrakes, Medics just can't pump out enough damage to deal effectively. I've noticed that getting more players can really gently caress you over. Unless all of the new guys are Supports with AA-12s (not happening), the extra HP Scrakes and FPs can easily be too much for your team to compensate for. Also, I really wish that the XP gained from healing people was tripled. It gives you way too little for doing the most important thing a Medic can do. It's a bit silly that going on a Cyst head-popping spree with the Medic SMG gets you way more XP than bailing your team out of an FP assault gone wrong with Medic Grenades or saving your Berzerker's rear end by healing him from 10 to 100 quickly. closeted republican fucked around with this message at 09:11 on May 6, 2015 |

I think Stalkers are my favorite enemy in the game. Not because of their skills or looks, but because of how loving fun is to make them go flying when you kill them with a shotgun while they're in the air, how easy it is kill them so hard you can see their guts and spine, the silly poses their ragdolls can make, and how satisfying it is to bitch-slap them with the Pulverizer.

Double fleshpounds at start used all my aa12 ammo, then a commando stood in a window blocking my escape towards the end when we got another double fp. The rest of the team fell like dominoes after that. I don't think you understand; killing stray Clots and Crawlers from far away in a window is far more important than killing Fleshpounds. closeted republican fucked around with this message at 10:59 on May 7, 2015 |

DeusExMachinima posted:I've been playing pretty much only support because the shotguns interact so well with MEAT. You can crack open clots and stalkers all day long but nothing beats a pointblank kill shot on a charging gorefast that splits their torso in half. Or crawlers jumping at you. Pull! Shotguns are by far my favorite wepaons in the game so far. They're powerful and very fun to use. It's like the gore and ragdoll systems were built around shotguns.

I don't get why they gave you no benefits for most classes when they were level 0. It's only around level 4-5 that you finally start seeing the boosts each class provides having a noticeable effect. The only exception is Support, but that's because shotguns are naturally really good, not because of any bonuses.

It was only after Hans was killed that I checked the scoreboard and saw that 4 out of 6 members of the team were dead.
