Killing Floor 2 | NERFED BERSERKER? NO PROBLEM! - Still One Of My Favorite Perks! W/ Hardest Boss

Took a break from what this update was all about to just play some casual mulitplayer, yall want some, so here it is. Played the "recently" nerfed berserker. To be honest, quite a strong perk still. Really can't go wrong with the zerk. Parry, chop, repeat. All you need to do.
Also showed my favorite loadout for bosses, ranged berserker is now a thing, and it's quite effective!
Let me know what you think!

Berserker is my favorite class and they ruined it. I couldn’t imagine trying to fight the Matriarch or Abomination on any difficulty with a melee weapon which is weird because the majority of Berserker weapons are melee. The devs weren’t thinking this through at all. A player shouldn’t have to use piranha pistols or off perk weapons to be able to function for their class.

[@RisingStarL96A1]

I soloed a matriarch on HOE Hans is a bit harder but it’s doable. But playing with people is scaled up, lot harder

pissed me off when they nerfed Berserker... he was my go-to-guy.... now it's more of a struggle to survive...jmo

If it makes you feel any better, they added the Piranha Pistol to make the struggle to survive significantly easier.

[@flashn00b]

@@dravendfr I guess if you wanna avoid buying DLC to do well as Berserker, one alternative solution would be to spawn as a SWAT for that extra $75 from selling the 9mm pistol before switching to Berserker on Wave 2, with your first purchases being the Crovel and HM101, and just enough MP7 ammo to help you survive long enough to sell the gun for a VLAD-1000 on Wave 3

[@joshuaturcotte6724]

I find sharp shooter to be very utility orientated, focused on killing the bigger zeds yes, but between the freeze grenades and specific weapons having quirks all there own, you can really put in some interesting work. Its still one of the most akward classes since the introduction of Gunslinger. I feel gunslinger gives you everything sharpshooter but with better mobility orientation and magazine cap. A skilled sharp shooter can really put in some insane work. Its oriented around hitting your shots every time so a good sharpshooter is rare. I often feel the sharpshooter lacks cause the reload speeds are just too long compaired to the Gunslinger who can do the same stuff except adds trash clear ability. Hopefully a KF3 will come and that they will balance out the classes, not just wreck some of them. SWAT and Sharpshooter feel really out of place. I dont want a class added if its streight terrible (only good for stuns in the case of SWAT depending on situations), or streight replace a class that was there prior (Gunslinger has all the benifits of the Sharpshooter, but doesn't have to sit still and even can move and reload much more quickly). I feel the swat needs to be able to tank more ranged fire as BV (balistic vest) should be more resistant to ranged weapons while Berserker should have a "Stab-proof" vest where melee resists more. Would make each tank more relivant and make the shield more a viable preferance. The berserker still has self healing while swat doesnt, making it further tank orientated to the Berserker as all rounder, but sometimes hes gotta back off and that glock and back up tank option could be a sweet effect. I wish they would make the glock and shield have a alt fire on a different key and allow guard and parry for MMB and over shield spray for glock (less accurate then ads fire as a trade but add increased stun for headshots). Gunslinger should see its weapons not do stacking headshot dmg (thats the point of sharpshooter at this point), I'd argue to change the Gunslinger rack-em up perk to match a perk from SWAT as basically I feel the Gunslinger should be a SWAT and Sharpshooter Hybrid. You keep mobility and reload speed, while having some up power punch when being accurate on your headshots. I'd say add a perk that allows headshots to stun zeds and change bone cracker to a ability to remove headshots but do 1/2 headshot dmg to the body anywhere you hit. This keeps the Gunslinger as a heavy target killer while also maintaining a point of accurate fire, and doesnt replace the point of SWAT or Sharpshooter. Over all I feel the game has a lot of potential still, the devs seem to be paying attention with the community to a degree and adding features and updates from community made content (hope the devs give credit to the community for them as well, maybe hire the content creators in the long haul). The berserker kinda depends on how you play, if you were a crap zerker before and leaned on self healing hemoclobber then you should just admit you didnt like the class and move on. Berserker should be played with agressive attention, when your low HP back off, recover your health, and then follow up your team: Dead teamates are useless teamates, overly agressive and suicidal teamates cant be healed threw everything. I preferance to use the shield and mace combo with the hemoclobber myself. I use the shield to block fire for teamates caught out as well as reduce incoming fire, parry often, and know whats blockable and what to dodge apropritately. The Hemoclobber is a sustain bonus, not a perminant crutch, the devs are making this aparent is all. The class is perfectly fine still, just takes you a bit more attention as you need to reload more frequent if your HP is getting hit prity hard

[@DrQuagmire1]

I honestly think the Sharpshooter kinda sucks in this game, and that's mainly due to 2 specific reasons: 1) his reloads (even dry ones) are kinda slow, which means life-or-death, depending on the map played on and 2) most Sharpshooter mains in this game are some of the most disrepectful jackasses, that I have ever known in this game, and this is the reason why the Berserker (my favorite perk, next to Support and Field Medic) got nerfed into near-uselessness, just to accomodate the idiot Sharpshooter players (half of which can't even shoot worth a damn)

[@jonasstrzyz2469]

I think that the easiest way to balance perks in games is deciding what type of weapons a perk has access to. As well as ammunition cost. If sharpshooter did not have the M14 and FAL it would be a pure big zed killing perk. Of course gunslinger may be nerfed in some way reduce its big zed killing potential. A perk like SWAT is inherently problematic. Not only is the ammo costly, but the perk shot bullet damage is much lower than commando. It also competes for trash kills. Command has zed time extensions and give just how valuable zed time is - especially with the level 25 skills - SWAT is basically pointless. Like, the flash bangs are nice. But are freeze nades not better? And how much do you need the flashbangs? Would you rather have them or additional zed time? If you enjoy SWAT then that is fine. The perk is just sub optimal. To which the same can possibly said about firebug. Though that perk requires less aim and can be a pure trash perk, as opposed to demo which is going to be a big zed perk after wave 2/4.

[@terryrexford6335]

Another chapter in Tripwire's long and pathetically incompetent history of trying to remove the zerk wall strategy no matter the cost. And yet the brand new map you just park your ass in a corner (or underground if you want more of a challenge) and zerk wall it up anyways same as before while your demo and firebug delete everything. Medic and/or map design oversight was always the real problem but nah, let's add the healthrower and scratch our heads as to why people still zerk wall. Maybe we can have elite armored bloats that fly or elite husks equipped with armor penetrating sniper rifles that exclusively target zerks, and while we're at it increase all of zerks tier 2 weapons by an additional 150 just to really make sure you're stuck with the crovel until wave 3. The damage resistance nerfs are fine, but the skirmisher change and the duration change on parry on top of it just why? Skirmisher is complete garbage, and maintaining parry is just annoying now. Zerk could have zero damage resist and the zerk wall would still be the easy win as long as medic/firebug/demo exist. Should honestly make zerk have 1 hp regen and 125 base hp, and have dreadnought give 75 hp and skirmisher give the movespeed + 1 extra hp regen.

you can thank the dickhead Sharpshooter mains for the Berserker nerf, because they're the ones who bitched-and-moaned to the point, where Tripwire/Saber actually nerfed the entire perk as a whole. But what they didn't know, is that by nerfing the perk the way they did, all it did was actually punishing the good Berserker players who really knew their stuff (all because a few "Bad apples" ruined it for those who actually knew how to play)

“Nothing but slightly reduce the fun” do we even play the same game? I chewed up and spat out HoE like it was breakfast. Now the Matriarch especially and the Abomination can nearly kill me on any difficulty if I don’t play absolutely perfectly.

Berserker are weak now also weak with hp you think is good because you get very low and bad spawn lagre zeds and tiny fp when i playing 10/10 or harder than hoe we get a lot lagre to much tiny fp coming from everywhere don't be sad but you here get spawn low so low lagre and tiny fp you lucky sometime flashpounds coming with rage

[@Sape43]

You have 200HP + skills like Vampire and Berserker Rage, so HP isn't a big problem at all. If the medic is doing his job (which isn't unreasonable to expect), you can still tank pretty much everything non-modded KF can offer - bosses and HOE wave 10.
