*Bought this on sale last week for $2, couldn't find a current guide on KZbin, now this gets recommended, THANK YOU!!!*

[@wezaatzk]

Not a problem, Glad you enjoyed the video!

Me too, my friend I had asked me the other day if I’ve ever heard of or played the killing floor too and I said no and he’s like it’s only $1.50 on game pass get it and I did and we have been playing nonstop for the past few days the game is so freaking fun!!

[@drunkbunny94]

I mostly play online and my biggest advice is to just to have some common decency and think about how your actions impact others. The main offender i see are demo players, spamming from a safe distance and raging things - you dont realise that you are getting your team killed while you are safely at the back free from the conciquences of your actions. If you cant kill a FP before it hits someone then you should be in front so it hits you, if you don't want to risk being hit then you shouldnt shoot/rage them. Also FP's calm down/de-rage after they hit someone - so after a hit shop shooting and get some distance, just like how YOU would get some space before engaging them again, shooting when you or another player is close will just re-rage. Also if you cant see what you are shooting neither can your team, so spamming with demo/firebug often means no one can help you so you better be able to Another recent example is agro swapping, it has its place but if you have 2 sharpshooters, a commando and an RPG demo and you are a medic running up to sc/fp and taking agro and circling them while poisoning them with the healthrower is borderline trolling. Doing next to no damage, making everyone elses lives harder to hit a now raged zig zagging target when they would have otherwise been killed in under a second. We were chill and just powered through - but not everyone will and if you are being a net negative to the team there are going to be other people that dont tolerate that and will kick you for trolling like that. But this also applies to simple things like just holding the same lane each wave so that the team isnt constantly playing musical chairs and trying to sort themselves out.

[@reelgesh51]

Also please help whoever is holding the backline A lot of areas you'd hold out have a lane that basically has a smaller number of enemy spawns Normally as a healer I can ignore that berserker holding that lane or death etc However if s big zed spawns there I won't know to heal them early due to many plays either not using a mic or because they don't use the voice commands to request help Usually I have to launch a medic grenade to the guy at the back to actually help kill the big zeds because all my other teammates just stack on top of each other holding the busy lane and honestly probably getting in each other's way . So just be nice and occasionally check up on the guy holding the flank and pop a couple shots

[@drunkbunny94]

@@reelgesh51 I agree you should try and be aware of your surroundings but it's not something everyone's good at. Communication is king. If people are busy on their lanes they aren't going to have time to look over and help somewhere else - unless you ask for it. If you get a bunch of larges you can't deal with, spam need assistance or use VoIP to ask for the demo or sharp to come and help you. Played some HoE+ the other night and the team wasn't that great so we wiped on wave 2 like twice in a row, had a quick text chat about it - "medic calls the kite, follow the medic" - we're all on the same page and nail it on the next attempt.

[@reelgesh51]

@@drunkbunny94 yeah I do try to spam assistance when it's needed Just frustrating when the gunslinger decides they'd rather deal with trash zeds with the berserker's lane and my support who has lower movement speed has to chug along and get relatively close to help the other teammate holding the back lane whilst I desperately healthrower my teammate as much as possible to keep them alive until help comes :D Not that big a deal and I've gotten better at calling for help earlier as the medic as to give supports (who tend to try help out the most ) time to get to me. I have gone into matches with really good gunslinger players who basically turn into bloodhounds the second I ask for assistance on a lane and within 5 seconds the big zed is just dead which is why I complain about other gunslingers since I've grown accustom to their lethality :D

[@reaper_redcap]

After some practice you can start using melee only for the first couple of rounds. This saves money for bigger weapons sooner 👍

[@wezaatzk]

If your a berserker yes. Any other perk, using your knife to kill gorefines or husks isn't very efficient. It can sort of work on normal difficulty but any higher it's just not that great. I would recommend starting with berserker and changing to the perk you want to play as once you do have enough money.

[@reaper_redcap]

For sure I agree with that. I was using commando last night on hard, usually get through the first 2 waves, maybe 3 with the pistol for slightly harder zeds.

Hey man! First of all, thanks for this guide, just bought KF2 on series X and trying to learn some basics. Did some searching, but can't find answers to all my questions - maybe you'll be so kind to help? :) 1) Dying during the round: what's the exact penalty for that? Do I lose any XP, or only some dosh? 2) Are there any statictisc of my account I can check on console (like kills, waves completed etc.). I've read that there are some stats via Steam, but I play on xbox. 3) Which 3 perks you recommend for a begginer? I started with Support, but would like to change things from time to time. 4) Lastly, do I understand correctly that all the weapon upgrades are done only for a given game and they are gone after I finish it? Do weapons that I buy transfer to next games? Thanks in advance for all your support! :)

[@wezaatzk]

Hi thanks for the questions, I will try my best to answer them! 1. You don't lose any XP or dosh by dying. You only drop your weapons which means you will have to run and find them again. also at the end of the wave you will get a smaller pay-out in dosh than the team as you would have died. ( In solo death is permanent) 2. on Xbox one if you go to your profile and select the gaming tab at the top you should see your list of games and percentage completed. you can click into the game by hitting (A) And you can go to stats on the left hand side to view hours played and other stats 3. One perk I would recommend for a beginner is firebug due to how simple the perk is to use. you don't need to aim to use it. You just spray and prey and can save you in bad situations. Gunslinger is also a good one for bosses although it does require good aim. but when you get to lvl 15, if you use the rack em up skill you can kill anything with ease. Finally I would recommend the demo. I would use a kaboom stick and an RPG which does insane damage and can kill anything with ease. Demo does require aim but not as precise as gunslinger. 4. Weapons and upgrades do not carry across to other games, meaning every game you start from scratch and build up your arsenal of weapons and upgrades again. The only thing that does save is XP and loot crates earned at the end of the match. Hope these answers helped.

Got it yesterday, I had played (maybe 8 hours) on ps4 before but I swapped to pc soon after. Got the ultimate edition for 10 euros, and have just been playing some solo games with diffrent perks to try out their weapons. 2 hours in I was running at hordes maniacally laughing, sword in hand on berserker. I think ill be playing this for a while 😂.

[@wezaatzk]

Yep Killing Floor 2 can be addicting lol. I’d say the PC version is so much better as you have custom maps and modding support.

[@dibanhiaguirre3]

Thanks for an updated guide in 2024! I just bought the game myself before the 3rd one comes out great video. Also is there any way you can earn free weapon skins other than prestige rewards?

[@wezaatzk]

You can earn common skins by playing games and beating the final boss. Sometimes you can also get rare skins but not that often

[@dibanhiaguirre3]

@@wezaatzk thank you for clarifying the dumb question lmao

[@wezaatzk]

No worries no question is a dumb question lol

[@iamrayvell3052]

for info, console does support FOV and i'd recommend to adjust around 110 or 115

[@wezaatzk]

never knew KF2 console had a FOV option lol. Most console games don't even have a FOV option.

I'm playing on PS4 and whenever I tap triangle or hold triangle to switch from my primary to my pistol my weapons disappear and all I can do is throw money. When I press triangle or hold it down to switch to any of my weapons nothing happens and I can not figure out how to pull a weapon back out. I've pressed everything and nothing works. I'm just stuck in money throwing.

[@wezaatzk]

I would contact Tripwire support and raise a ticket, They might be able to fix that for you... Unfortunately I can't do anything more than that.

Hello I'm the player of Killing floor 2 in Korea Can I ask you something How many weapons in comando

[@wezaatzk]

15 weapons total, 4 of those being DLC meaning there would be 11 if you don't own the armoury pass

[@VI_Yai_iV]

My question is, does the game ever get boring? I love zombie games but it seems to be zombie waved base which may get old after a while. I’m still going to give the game a chance as I love zombie shooters

[@wezaatzk]

There is tons of replay ability with KF2. You can play survival, endless mode, objective mode, you can even play multiplayer or even do weekly challenges such as explosive zeds, shrunken zeds. So there is a ton of content within the game. considering I've played KF2 For almost 1,000 hours I've got a little bored of the game as I've done everything but if you're a new player then there will be a ton of things to do.

How do I change my starting weapon? I want to spawn in with a big machine gun without using the trader.

[@wezaatzk]

You have to buy the weapons through the trader but with commando you can spawn in with the AR15

[@Toastybread3131]

Is the new item obtained random or can you kinda guess what you get

[@wezaatzk]

Every game you will get random stuff at the end. You could either get a Lott crate or a weapon skin, or dosh… it will be one of the three prizes.

[@Toastybread3131]

@@wezaatzk thank you I couldn't find the answer no matter where I looked appreciate it

[@raprune18]

"forgot to record the audio" fml dude just record it again, its not like you're doing it live and have something better to do

[@wezaatzk]

I can’t just record it again as it takes me hours to produce one video. More time goes into the actual editing then it does recording it. Sometimes it can take most of the day to produce one video, And plus I do have other hobbies and a job to focus on Besides KZbin.

[@VI_Yai_iV]

Hey, do you have a discord or do you know one that has lots of new players? I want to learn and play the game with someone who is new as well

[@wezaatzk]

I have a discord server with some Killing Floor players, It's linked on the channel and even in all my video descriptions. But if you want to find more players I would recommend joining the official Killing Floor server.

[@helmetmcbarin]

What perks earn the most money

[@wezaatzk]

they all earn the same amount, it depends on the type of zed you kill. flesh pounds and larger enemies earn more dosh and XP along with bosses whereas small zeds earn the least. it also depends on the difficulty you play on which can give more or less depending on the level.

[@Sentrqy]

i played KF2 back on the Ps4 and on Pc its a lot better

[@wezaatzk]

Yeah it is, especially with custom maps and mods you can get on PC lol.

[@Saigaiii]

How do you have red dot sights on your weapons?

[@wezaatzk]

Some weapons have them automatically but others don’t. You can’t add or customize attachments in KF2.

[@notforsure7807]

How do you download maps, and can other players join?

[@wezaatzk]

You can only do it with the PC version of the game by going to the steam workshop and subscribing to some maps and mods. Other players can join them but you have to set up your own servers which on my opinion is more hassle than just playing official maps. Unless you make the games public other players can’t join your games or friends

[@gurgenax7018]

Saw somebody had hitpoints on, he could see how much dmg he was doing with each shoot, does somebody know hot can i activate that?

[@wezaatzk]

There are some mods on the workshop you can download and it also comes with some other mods like the zedternal mod.

[@gurgenax7018]

Thanks man ❤️ btw ur video helped a lot

[@donniedanko]

Swat is the best class

[@solify61]

what is 9V icon bottom right corner???

[@wezaatzk]

It's just the battery used for the flashlight in the game. There will be a red meter that will slowly go down the more you use the flashlight and will recharge automatically so you don't have to find batteries yourself.

[@slotmaster3092]

anyone on ps4 here?

[@wezaatzk]

Nice to see some people still playing the game!

[@NastyNorko]

This video could have been 5 mins.

[@wezaatzk]

True although it would be an extremely basic guide with little information. Whereas I feel 15 mins is enough to explain the basics in a detailed way.
