Killing Floor 2 | 2022 PERK TIER LIST! - All The Perks Are Fun And Effective Now?

[@son_of_the_heavymetal1142]

Any KF2 tierlist ever: S tier: GS, Supp, Commando Ok tier: Everything else Not ok tier: Survivalist

[@PathfinderBoi]

Its how it is

[@BenderDaOffenda]

Honestly Gunslinger is vastly overrated. Sharpshooter and demolitionist will always be the superior big zed killers because you know what beats out high damage per second? Being able to kill you're enemy in one or two shots before they get a chance to lay any offence into you. Not to mention the demolitionist has the vastly superior weapon upgrades and the damage upgrades you do get from gunslinger is basically just a poor man's version of the upgrades you get from sharpshooter. Furthermore you don't have to worry about wasting a bunch of ammo and money killing said zeds on top of all that reloading. Then again, considering the vast majority of KF2's community is toxic PC players, I question how many of them actually legit play the game in a team scenario instead of coaxing by whatever cheat codes and mods they have in solo play.

[@TheRealPots]

Demo and Firebug are easily S for me 🔥👌

[@TylerPKegger]

Honestly I love survivalist for that reason alone, I’ll outlive my teammates at high rounds on endless. I can constant heal myself, any damage I take shreds through my armor before my health, I have healing grenades and I can use any weapon.

[@stopidmonkey1]

Well of course you'll outlive everyone lol survivalist is more of a lone wolf kinda perk, you can still heal and hel people but not enough

[@hakeemshabazz3207]

Agreed! Un-nerfed berserker! Don't play it often tho,😂

[@johnny2598]

Yeah for Endless Survivalist is the perk.

[@shadowcross4813]

I completely agree with your list but I'd put Field medic in S imo. I had and witnessed countless times of people in almost dead situations but just one or two medic darts or just a medic nade completely fixes it allowing them to get out alive in pretty much full health. Granted you have to nail those dart shots but it's insane how much of a difference it makes in a life or death situation.

[@beanpole08]

Medic is god with the damage buffs to healed teammates mixed with a heavy spam berserker

[@shadowcross4813]

@@beanpole08 yeah. A good team focused medic could carry a team killing whenever necessary as long as the team puts in the work. Throw a lvl 15 or higher berserker who is a parry god then it should be a relatively easy game

[@wizard_of_odds2491]

Honestly I don't think Survivalist is as bad now that it got it's swap speed increased by 33%. it makes takedowns much easier depending on what weapons you are using but it does require aim and good skill

[@JahovasFitness]

Survivalist is always gonna be last place just due to its design, but honestly it's just a few QOL changes from being an alright perk and not just a meme. 1) Make it where your level 5 perk choice determines which weapons you can start with. It'd be great not having to worry about getting stuck with the wrong weapon types for your perk at the start, and not getting stuck with a caulk n burn would be nice too. 2) Make surivalist's level 5 perk affect survivalist specific weapons as well (freezethrower, killerwatt, etc). It's kinda dumb that it can reload weapons from other classes faster but not it's own. 3) Give either of the lvl 20 perks fire resistance and/or boosts so firebug weapons aren't totally useless on the perk. 4) Might be hard to implement but maybe let survivalists choose which grenade type they get for the game instead of forcing med nades or molotovs on us. Considering that survivalist doesn't get the crazy damage boosts other classes get, I don't think giving it freedom of choice for grenades would be too OP for it.

[@ConnorTheDJ24]

Sharpshooter is basically my perk of choice especially when I'm using the M14 EBR paired with Stability and Rack 'em Up.

[@GodlyEddy]

I have not been able to get used to that gun tbh. Seems I waste too much ammo, since its automatic and you can spam it. Prefer the centerfire/winchester with railgun. I always wonder why any sharp would still use winchester, and holy crap is it good. Centerfire does more dps, better in general, but the winchest has more ammo and can be upgraded alot. I also guess I don't like the red lazer on the m14, messes up my aim. I'm not trying nor have ever depended on a crosshair to help me aim, so kind of ruins it for me.

[@ftayeezus7177]

@@GodlyEddy if you can get used to accurately making headshots with the laser and it being semi auto makes it a S tier weapon for me, also it shreds big zeds if you can engage them far away with the scope

[@GodlyEddy]

@@ftayeezus7177 Yeah that's truly, its definitely the most popular weapon, that's what I seen most sharps run with. I just can't get used to the red lazer, sometimes it helps, but not when the recoil is active. I'm not great at the railgun yet, but I find it better than the m99. Glad you enjoy it though.

[@hanahramsy3254]

You explained every perk very well, thanks for the video I do agree that every perk is viable as long as you know how to play him well.

[@matheus-sm7860]

Swat is absolute trash tho, even if you have good head accuracy it's just bad if youre not in zedtime. Firebug is good for pubs and for people who cant aim for shit, but its just bad compared to a commando and cant literally kill larges without creating a mess. Demo needs a team to work, specially someone to tank or keep the zeds at distance. And it goes back to the point above because pretty much no one uses commando because they cant aim for shit. (also they dont have any clue of what is zedtime). At least it kill larges but its slower than a sharp/gunslinger and even than a freaking support. Zerk is terrible because every single weapon cannot kill a large in less than 5s, and you basically have to kite every single time to kill a single large. Kitting is never optimal, and just create chaos. Your bullets are also useless if a zerk is in your front because they cant pass through them, so you cannot put a zerk+sharp or gunslinger in the same place. I guess its fun for the people who's using it. The only thing that makes sense with it is a demo who's not using M32 or seeker six, but rpg. Which works quite fine. But zerkwalling does not teach anyone to play the game or have a notion that this is a TEAMGAME. Commando is a teamperk, sharp can be a teamperk and a support perk, and a sub/main dps perk, support is a good perk but the team needs to collaborate because you take a lot of time to reload and large zed takedowns take some timing and you need to get used to enemy movement, its also just as slow (mobility wise) as a sharpshooter. Gunslinger is the literal best perk in the game if you have 70-80% head accuracy, Which takes pratice. Rest is useless and/or mediocre, but each of their own.

[@Delimon007]

@@matheus-sm7860 The nailgun on swat can kill anything, the fuck are you talking about lol

[@matheus-sm7860]

@@Delimon007 You cannot kill a fp without it raging at you if you're at medium range, only in really close range. Its not nearly as optimal, its only good as sub dps/perk or if you have a reliable way to trigger zedtime, or else, use commando because its just better. Or will you take the risk of approaching multiple fps or medium zeds just to decap a fp every single time? (it also takes a single mag to decap a sc/fp, and you have like, 5 mags? ) or will you take your distance and miss shots purposedly and having it rage at you? The only perk(s) that can do this is gunslinger/sharpshooter, even supports cannot do this unless you time the raging animation and finishing them with doom stick or boomstick. Vs scrakes, the nailgun is even worse because you gotta have space to kite either way, and IT DOES less damage to it vs the damage the nailgun does vs fps. If you think i'm saying bs here, you're welcome to watch my two last swat CD videos. All swat weapons feel just weak compared to everything, just the nailgun is a little better than the rest, even the fucking kriss isnt that great at this point. Might as well use commando med rifle and fal to clean takedowns and getting hit by a fp here and there. Also, i'm curious if you have any footage.

[@caleighhraee]

@@matheus-sm7860firebug weapons can kill large zeds if you know what to use. I triple upgrade my dual spitfires and use the Helios rifle. Which is kinda OP but you need it for the e-dars and bosses. Also you can tinker with the perk upgrades and they’re kinda hard to choose from. For example the perk choice between ground fire having a 30% chance to explode a zed which in turn blows up and kills a bunch of zeds in a huge crowd, or having a 150% chance for a lit zed to cause another zed to be lit on fire and cause up to 50% damage. Yeah you don’t need to aim well but that’s not the point of killing AI in a game. I like being a trash clearer 😂

[@caleighhraee]

S tier: firebug (the most fun guns and you can tinker with the perk options to play differently), support (I love me a good shotgun and giving ammo to those in need makes me feel like a boss), medic (only because it’s the first one I played as and I love the weapons, it is OP) B tier: demo (it is actually challenging to not blow yourself up) and gunslinger (who doesn’t like dualies??) C tier: commando (cool guns and can shred hoards) and survivalist (fun to figure out a different load out and the unique weapons are a nice touch) D tier: swat (boring commando) and bezerker (it’s kinda fun but I like to shoot things) F tier: sharpshooter (wtf I’m not going to be sniping zombies in an apocalypse, if anything I’ll be wielding a chainsaw)

Never had a match of just commandos. I did end up with a sharps only team as like ppl kept changing classes n picking sharps. I made a joke about wtf, sharpshooter mafia? N everyone just went sharps. It was kinda fun actually

[@MilkyMonstrosity]

In my personal opinion I think the berserker is pointless. Even before the nerfs I didn't like him and now I really don't. His actual damage output compared to a demo or firebug is ass and they do the same thing, area denial and crowd control, which the firebug and demo do far better and can also help quickly and efficiently kill many targets at once. I think Richard dangles list is trash, and he's clearly one of the players that prefer accuracy based perks as opposed to the fun perks that are actually really strong. Firebug and demo should absolutely be A or S and berserker and sharpshooter should be situational since playing sharpshooter means not having firebug and demo in the comp which is really stupid imo.

[@caleighhraee]

Bezerker is boring because I want to play a game and shoot a gun, not clobber something in the head

[@igor79cz]

I would always take gunslinger over sharpy more fun and dynamic perk to play and like u say prioritize target is key ..firebug is actually good for area hold vs weaker zeds...and community is bit toxic like tf2 dont play spy play soldier😄

[@godofunity2612]

I'm surprised Zerk is still highly ranked with you. Most I tend to hear about the nerfs are that they were kind of undeserved, since the complaining apparently came from people that don't bother taking 6-player lobbies into account.

They were well deserved, if you died as a zerk you were 100% braindead.

@Pathfinder surprisingly, I dominate the board with the Mosin, it is awkward, but when you can get 1-3 headshots in one bullet on trash zeds, I actually am great with it, it also depends on the team you have and if they are helpful or not

[@BreadApologist]

I like playing sharps with the mosin and xbow cause the class is great for killing big zeds. Until of course some wang face pyro or swat etc pisses off the scrake / FP you are sighting in on for a head shot n rages it.

[@GodlyEddy]

I could never get into gunslinger, idk why lol, even though the glock is amazing as a single pistol. I much rather prefer sharpshooter, way easier to aim I guess. I can't get used to GS aim with 2 pistols, finding the middle crosshair. Love Support and FB, started playing mando with the m16, blew my mind how fun it is with a fnal. I did not like 1 tapping with scar/fnal, it was not as fun, so I never bothered playing mando. Don't play zerker, you get kill stealed alot, and I'm just trash at it. I only go medic when no one else wants to, which can be super annoying, but it must be done. But I do agree with this tier list, I would just put sharp in S as well, but I know people LOVE GS, and think its just a upgrade over sharp, I disagree.

[@matheus-sm7860]

Gunslinger is a faster sharpshooter for the most part with higher mobility and able to deal with anything and literally, the only thing that you cant outrun is one fp animation. Sharpshooter is good as GS but you need to have a competent team that can holdout, and in pubs, this never happens, thats why gunslinger is the best all-around perk on this game.

[@PathfinderBoi]

Idk for me it was always an easier sharpshooter, also more forgiving.

[@matheus-sm7860]

@@PathfinderBoi You probably are playing in good teams/groups/server, in my region theres like one or two groups who are really competent/fun players to play with (south america). (see my wave 100 video, and my autozedtime video). Just think about it: you need to takedown a scrake but you need 3-4s to crouch and decap it with a sharpshooter, but in the first seconds of the match other players are kitting already because they dont know what to do, and explode stuff/block your shots or throw a lot of fire in front of you making the takedown a lot more messy. If its a FP, its even worse because you need to headtrack it to decap it without it raging at you, but i'm talking about M14/Fal loadouts here, i dont use m99 because its stupid. If you compare with GS, you have reliable reload cancel, 3 huge ammo pools (you can use single glock, dual afs and dual deagles) and have around 560 bullets), while having the mobility and damage to outrun and takedown anything. You dont even need to crouch, you just need a good headtracking of stuff. But in pubs, at least in my region, almost no one also plays gunslinger properly, its always zerk/demo/firebug zerkwalling cheese.

[@GodlyEddy]

@@matheus-sm7860 Yeah that's what I mean, mostly to everyone its definitely just better. Higher mobility, good dps, very easy to play and fun to use. I just can't get used to it for some reason? I loved the m1911 with Deagles, but my aim was not perfect taking down scrakes/fp. I find it way easier to play sharp for some reason lol. I have been able to do pretty decent in pub with sharp, problems arise when medic ain't healing and doing dps instead, and just having demos/fb so can't really get much kills. Still fun though!

[@stopidmonkey1]

Try running a single glock and single or dual dealer, best combo for me. If you don't like the deagle then run the 500

[@k0vactv]

Am a Commando/Support main The commando both in KF1 and KF2 has very nice DPS and can slaughter pretty much all trash, medium zeds and pummel fleshpounds and scrakes with his nades and M16 M203, unfortunately the medic kind of started having less importance because of the fact he has commando bonuses on the 401 + can heal and do damage with it, main problem with the class tho is ammo, I've ran into several times where I was stuck reloading mid fight or simply ran out of ammo in early waves when you don't usually have 2 weapons on you, also his AR 15 while nice in single fire imo doesn't do enough damage to really be all that good. However if you pair him in a 3 man with a support and demo the game becomes easy. Support completely minces trash and gives ammo + starter shotgun works good damage even mid match. Demolitionist while situational if put behind commando and support can make the wave go so much easier because of his explosives, unfortunately I believe solo demos will find it a bit tough to survive unlike the other 2 if you're not careful with how you move and fight. Firebugs can pretty much solo carry since they have broken weapons that literally instakill pretty much all trash, just needing other perks to deal with the bigger zeds. Survivalist definitely is nice if you're more of a solo player but if we are talking 6 man he's kind of redundant Medic imo kind of became a role you only really need on a team that does get damaged a lot but I've had plenty of games where commandos or other classes had medic guns to do the job. All and all though all the classes are basically juiced up now so you can't really go wrong with any if you learn them
