Killing Floor 2 | Advanced Demo Loadouts and Builds

[@soosboons4444]

12:47 ye this is a really good trick and you can do this with any other class as well albeit the C4 will not be as damaging. At every boss wave just make sure you have enough money for C4 for Patriarch making him a joke and skip a lot of time.

[@ReapeeRon]

Oh, yeah!

[@chaunceybillups5436]

This really makes me want to try to seal squeal. I don't think I've ever used it before. I have never been consistent with the Seeker six, but I really want to like that weapon

[@ReapeeRon]

The seal squeal is one of my favorite weapons and once you get use to it can be pretty good. The Seeker Six is one of the harder guns to use effectively, mostly you need a long line of sight.

[@chaunceybillups5436]

@@ReapeeRon I've always rocked basic low-dose with my perks. With demolitionist I pretty much use the RPG and the Kaboom stick together and that's it. So yeah thanks for the demonstration on these weapons man. Very detailed!

[@hunterromano5562]

I don't main demo, but the seal squeal is one of my favorite weapons in the class. that and the blunderbuss. both are very powerful if you have a team to support it.

[@chaunceybillups5436]

@@hunterromano5562 I always use the standard RPG over the Seeker 6. The standard RPG is actually pretty powerful I love it a lot, but I agree the Seeker 6 is amazing

[@hunterromano5562]

@@chaunceybillups5436 I used to use the rpg alot back when it was a borderline broken one shot skrake killer. I still like it, but it just seems weak.

[@taydinnygaard3678]

I always run kaboom stick with rpg. The rpg shreds through flesh pounds, scrakes, and bosses. The kaboom stick shreds through small and medium enemies and large enemies that get to close for the rpg.

[@ReapeeRon]

That is a really strong loadout.

[@v3pic]

Thank you for the demolition demonstration

[@ReapeeRon]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@synchronium24]

I've tried going full left side skills, but the slower reloads just don't work for me. So I always take Shock Trooper. I have a question on Sonic Resistant Rounds. Does this cause explosions within the normal "dud" radius? Because that seems like mostly a negative, whereas the anti-siren part of the skill is awesome. Also, I did not know that weapon bashes could count as headshots. Useful info!

[@ReapeeRon]

Shock trooper can be pretty useful and it make a lot of guns feel a bit better. For your question, no you don't get an explosion in the dud radius from the sonic resistant rounds it will still be a dud when it hits. Unless you are running the Mad Bomber skill and it is zed time.

[@synchronium24]

@@ReapeeRon Thanks for clarifying that explosives will be duds within a certain radius, whether or not the Sonic Resistant Rounds skill is selected. With that in mind, what does "your explosives. . .will always explode" mean when the skill is selected?

[@goodguybeket121]

@@synchronium24 in case of Sonic-Resistant Rounds it means that Siren no longer vaporizes your explosives, grenades and projectiles with her sonic attacks. For example, you put C4 on Fleshpound and suddenly Siren appears out of nowhere. With Sonic-Resistant Rounds enabled you don't need to worry about her much, because C4 won't disappear due to a sonic attack anyway.

[@synchronium24]

@@goodguybeket121 Right, I understand that siren screams don't destroy explosives when the skill is selected. What I'm asking is if the "[your explosives] will always explode" part of the skill actually does anything. It seems to me if duds are duds regardless of the skill, then that text is extraneous/misleading.

[@goodguybeket121]

@@synchronium24, well, the part [your explosives will always exlode] means that the rocket, for instance, will deal dud + explosion damage without being vaporized, when Siren does her sonic attack. As far as I remember, if Frag Rounds Demo shoots Siren in head with M79 grenade and she screams, the projectile disappears completely and does not apply any type of damage at all, neither impact nor explosive. The same happens to all Demo weapons except M16M203 (because of bullets), Blunderbuss (again, because of nails alt-fire) and Pulverizer (it is a melee weapon). You are right about the description though. It is a bit complicated.

[@Reaper-J129]

My build I always use: rpg main and then kaboom stick or bomb drone with grenade pistol. I just love to use the kaboom stick as a double barrel grenade pistol

[@Kevin-cc7ss]

It took me way too long to notice the demolition man background

[@ReapeeRon]

What is your Boggle? :)

[@Kevin-cc7ss]

@@ReapeeRon My Boggle? How much do you weigh?

[@ReapeeRon]

@Kevin

[@Gonzodiac]

Upgrated RPG + C4 + Desert Eagle, my standart build for Demo. :) Desert Eagle can oneshot Crawlers + Stalkers (bodyshot) and Gorefasts (headshot). I use Mad Bomber, meaning I rely on my team mates to protect me and take care of trash, but I activate immediately when there's a horde of zeds or big zeds nearby. While watching your video, I had this idea that Husk Cannon + C4 + Grenade Pistol with Destroyer of Worlds might be fun build. I'm gonna try it even though it won't be ideal against Scrakes.

[@ReapeeRon]

That's a pretty good build for max damage. Husk cannon and Seal Squeal can both be pretty fun with Destroyer of Worlds. I like using them both with Destroyer of Worlds.

[@Gonzodiac]

I'm one of those players who've hardly touched Seal Squeal. Apparently I should give it a serious try since TWI buffed it. Excellent notion, Seal Squeal could be very good with Husk Cannon, assumingly better than my C4 + Grenade Pistol. Actually, I'm gonna dumb my idea and test yours.

[@Gonzodiac]

@SwiftGraver Thanks for asking! To be honest I lost my interest in this loadout soon since it didn't fit my playstyle. Besides I play Demolitionist quite rarely. So I still stick into upgrated RPG + C4 + single Desert Eagle when I play this perk.

[@DarkNowInDachau]

I wish the husk cannon had the flame thrower with secondary fire. Obviously the projectile would be stronger for Demo and flamethrower would be stronger for Firebug. Kinda widens the gap in usefulness for that weapon, but I like that. This is a tough perk to learn to do well, but when you’re on a team with a good Demo, it’s a breeze. A good Demo will absolutely wipe them out.

[@ReapeeRon]

Ya, that would be awesome!

[@XodiaqKey]

My favorite loadout and weapon build (as an admittedly terrible player) is as follows Level 5: Shock Trooper because the bonus reload has saved me far more than the highest damage ever has. Level 10: High Impact Rounds Level 15: in the lower rounds I like Fragmentation Shot because you save a lot of ammo by aiming at the ground in the middle of like 5 clots. Later on in the match, switching to Sonic Resistant Rounds works well. Even if not for the Sirens but simply because the extra AoE also lowers damage by a decent chunk. Level 20: is of course Armor Piercing Rounds because a point blank headshot with non-self-damaging explosives deals an absurd amount of damage. Level 25 is really personal preference but it's hard to argue with the damage on the radiation cloud. Weapons are super easy. Kaboomstick, grenade pistol and C4. Kaboomstick is 1060 damage with no bonuses when using alt fire and reloads quickly with shock trooper. The pistol damage definitely falls off but it still shreds trash mobs with ease. C4 can have up to 8 charges stuck to a boss and assuming you detonate at the right time, that's 6560 damage, not including perk or passive bonuses. It can also be fun to toss some c4 behind a door far enough back to hurt zeds but not the door, trap and door and wait for a huge group to start beating on it. Pop the c4, repair the door and then let them tear through it and die. If c4 isn't your style, the kaboomstick with the M16 is also quite good if you prefer a rifle oriented playstyle. Either way demo is hilariously fun and deals a ridiculous amount of damage.

[@XodiaqKey]

Not to mention, if you ever get pinned down by small zeds, just shoot directly at your feet with the pistol or kaboomstick and it'll likely kill all of them immediately and carve a path for you to relocate to a safer spot.

[@ReapeeRon]

Thanks for the comment Xodiaq! That looks like a very good build too. Very safe and not likely to blow yourself up, which is always a good thing. I blow myself up a lot more then I would like to admit.

[@ZeroSumGamer]

For both the Zed time skills, does the explosives can explode at any range effect feels more like a detriment than an advantage? Does Destroyer of Worlds' nukes deal any additional explosive damage on top of the radiation DOT and the weapon's original explosion, or are the nukes merely cosmetic? Can the damage reduction from fast exploding C4 be started from a different explosion source, like an RPG shot than quickly detonating the C4? Does the Seal Squeal also have this damage reduction? Generally, where should you be aiming for with your explosives? The crit zones for more damage, or the centre of mass to minimize missing chances? Also, how does damage reduction work with explosive weapons? For example, if you hit an Fleshpounds arm guards with an RPG shot, does it reduce damage from the impact damage, the explosion damage, both, or neither?

[@ReapeeRon]

The explosion at any range can be an advantage in small maps, it's not really a disadvantage most of the time. There are times though when it doesn't really do much. As for the nuke I think that is does bonus damage. For C4 damage it is only effected by the C4 itself not other explosives, the Seal Squeal does not have damage reduction for its harpoons even if they all go off at once. For aiming, you usually want to hit enemies in the weak spots, but that is not always practical so just hitting them or hitting near them is better then not taking the shot most of the time. For the RPG and Kaboomstick I try to hit them in the weak spot, but for the grenade launchers I just aim for the general area they are in. If you shoot a fleshpound in the arms I believe that the impact damage will be reduced but the explosion will do full damage. I think that the explosive damage is applied as to how close an enemy is to the explosion and not to where they were hit.

[@ZeroSumGamer]

@@ReapeeRon Doesn't the detriment of easily killing yourself from the explosion at any range effect outweigh the benefit of more AoE? For the Seal Squeal, is it possible for the team to set up a bomb for a boss if everyone plays as Demo and shoot a ton of spears at one area on the map, lure the boss to the bomb, and have everyone detonate the spears and potentially kill the boss is one explosion? And more generally, for Zeds that have separate head and body health, does damage to Zed's head also deal damage to their bodies? For example, if I deal 500 damage to a Fleshpound's head, does this deal 500 damage to both its head and body, or only its head while the body remaining at full health.

[@gavintopper7230]

What crate does that grenade pistol skin come from? I play on console sadly so I can't just buy it

[@ReapeeRon]

It is a random daily reward.

[@killrcupcake2994]

Is it possible to do something similar to the c4 to the patriarch using the seal squeal?

[@ReapeeRon]

Yes, but the seal squeal losses no damage if you explode all the harpoons at once.

[@ZepHoffman]

thank you, your guides are very useful

[@ReapeeRon]

Glad to hear that!

[@aclucas7]

I mostly have used the Blunderbuss and the Kaboomstick both upgraded once and it's good, u should give it a try

[@ReapeeRon]

Yeah that seems like it should be pretty strong.

[@aclucas7]

@@ReapeeRon it is strong, especially the blunderbuss' alt fire being a shotgun like blast, acting I think kinda similar to the nailgun cuz I think I saw the shrapnel ricochet and it can pierce through zeds

[@ReapeeRon]

@@aclucas7 Yeah, I believe you. I just don't know if I have used them both together in the same loadout.

[@aclucas7]

@@ReapeeRon btw, u can delay the explosion of the blunderbuss by holding the trigger down, and I use the left side of the skill tree with the load out, Kaboomstick for most zeds, the Blunderbuss for the large and trash zeds due to the strong alt fire and the good primary fire

[@disabledgaming440]

what loadout do you use the most you think?

[@ReapeeRon]

I probably use the Seal Squeal and the Kaboomstick the most. But I use a lot of these things.

[@disabledgaming440]

@@ReapeeRon i like to use the m4 and the grenade launcher but i mostly play on hard trying to move up to suicidal

[@FurryEskimo]

Does fragmentation rounds increase the ‘area’ by the radius, diameter, or actual area by 50%, because that matters a lot,,

[@ratuldey9296]

I think the best loadout is Kaboom stick and RPG.., very overpowered.

[@ReapeeRon]

It is a very strong combo!

[@4rtstellar]

RPG + C4 + T4 M1911 is suprisingly good. RPG for big crowds and scrakes, C4 for FP, and M1911 for trash. I don't find T5 RPG that good, because it's just extra 90 damage(that's a single shot from T4 M1911). While T4 M1911 can 1-shot every small zed and 2-shot every medium zed.

[@ReapeeRon]

Awesome sounds like fun to me.

[@CursedMoistMan690]

I really like this class, i just wish you could dual wield the starter weapon

[@ReapeeRon]

That could be cool, but if it was a Gunslinger weapon I think it would be OP with the lvl 25 for rapid fire damage.

I can't see a reason not to sonic resistant rounds.

[@ReapeeRon]

Only if you want more AoE damage, like the grenade launchers or the gravity imploder.

[@zzizzi02]

I hate it when the demolitionist player doesn't understand what their role is. The demolitionist is amazing at killing trashes, of course. But it's primary role should be dealing with the FP and the QP. There are other classes that can deal with trashes, but the demo is the only class that can eliminate the pounds without any risk. If they have the kaboomtick or the RPG, the scrake is also an easy target for them. But so many demolitionists on a public server only focus on getting kills so that they can feel cool. They spam explosives even on where allies are already handling well to steal kills. It totally blinds other players, but they still blame others for not tanking or taking down a large zed for them, saying 'I have the most kills. What have u guys been doin? Nothing?'

[@ReapeeRon]

Ya, Demo is the best class for deleting FP and QP. On certain maps like Prison you can get away with spam firing explosives from the watch tower. You should not try that on every map though.
