The field medic class is one of the most satisfying classes to use. From its wide array of weapon types to its usefulness to your team. Also BAM GLOWING GUNS

Here's something funny for you: While playing as a Level 25 SWAT with "Rapid Assault", you can infinitely shoot healing darts from the HMTech SMG.

[@FemboyJoe]

TheUndeadslayer221 healing god cometh

[@mysticalacer94]

At least players won't yell like crazy for MEDIC! like in TF2.

[@TheUndeadslayer221]

Several Notes that were not addressed: -The HMTech SMG can fire infinitely with the Rapid assault Zed Time ability of SWAT during Zed Time (The syringe charge will be at zero, but it WILL still be able to fire). -The Medic's healing grenade when paired with the entire left side of the tree, can be self applied; If you heal yourself with the medic grenade, it will count as you healing someone else and will apply the appropriate buff. Healing yourself with your own syringe doesn't apply this effect, but the Medic's Grenade DOES. -If a Teammate/s is Severely Wounded and can't survive another hit, move yourself in front of said teammate/s attacker/s so you can take the hit (this is where using your "tank-e-ness" is good to take advantage of, and is a good way to troll the Zeds).

[@bamb0ostick]

I hate it when medics become the scapegoat for careless and/or bad players. If you're close to dying in the first 3 waves then you're not playing right. It's not an excuse to play recklessly and expect the medic to heal you all the time. Medic pistols and smgs don't recharge all that fast so take that into consideration when you think you can take on a huge group of zeds at once. You're also hogging the medic's resources when it could've been used on a player that needed it more.

[@kaze0fox]

Also gotta love it when the reckless idiot gets butthurt when they say on why you didn't heal them fast enough. Especially in a group as to me everyone of my teammates are valuable. Yes I can possibly output the damage on heals but it's also to your own volition to be mindful of your own safety. So trust me I know.

[@MorfsPrower]

It's one thing if the team is playing recklessly. Let a bad team die. BUT It's a completely different story if you're not actually healing anyone and you're busy shooting your medic guns and forgetting you have a job to do. A good medic is meticulous and uses Tab a lot to, literally, keep tabs on their team. Medic guns don't have the right DPS, especially in multiplayer, to square off against anything without chipping away at zeds for a LONG while. All this from a medic that goes out of my way to keep each and every person at 100, so long as they're in the area. My team IS my weapon. My weapon is for my team.

[@m22d889]

No offense but if your teammates are dying in the first few waves, the medic is not doing his job. Yes, others are not supposed to be at the brink of death the whole time but the medic is also almost never supposed to shot anything other than trash in its face. Nothing wrong with getting some kills but not at the cost of teammates. Like someone has already added, your weapon is your team so yeah, it's not "hogging resources" but expecting the medic to do its damn job which is to heal.

[@m22d889]

@Lunova Did you even read my comment before vomiting yours? I never said a medic is a license to play like an idiot but if you are joining as a medic, you better carry your damn weight by healing teammates which is your job. The number of zeds, big zed health and overall difficulty has already scaled upward by the medic just existing so better make that existence fruitful by not trying to get kills by low dps pea-shooter but by buffing and healing. The team will take damage even if early waves and reasons can be many. Sure, let a bad team die and learn their lesson but don't he a dick who needs to be reminded that zeds do damage which has to be healed.

Personally I always put the bash attack on the side button of the mouse. The V key is too far in panic situations.

[@lughfiregod16]

I have bash as scroll wheel up, and alt fire as a side button myself. Having scroll wheel up for bash is great for the berserker.

[@lughfiregod16]

Get a mouse without shitty button placement. :v

[@ApexZer0]

Or you could play on counsel and have all your buttons right at your finger and thumb tips

[@GuardianOfTheHeaven]

NightWatchMan 85 Indeed, I personally prefer that as well. Just like you said, the V button is too far away to press in the panic situations.

[@lughfiregod16]

Apex 0 Sure, but then you don't have a mouse to aim with.

[@fireblast133]

Do not underestimate the tenacity of a combat medic. Myself and a friend playing swat, neither of us max level, managed to reach wave 49 on endless mode recently. Due to the double xp weekend, we both managed about 80k experience, about 1600 kills each, and finally went down when I got destroyed by 6 fleshpounds and an edar trapper.

[@alejandrofuenmayor3762]

[@ceu160193]

Symbiotic Health skill has hidden upside: every time you heal with healing dart, all skills related to healing dart applied to Medic as well. When we can expect Demo guide? Almost no one uses Door traps ability, while it's very handy at cleaning out weaker zeds.

[@martinhubinette2254]

ceu160193 Wait what...!!?? You serious...? Can someone else confirm this...!? I don't play medic to much but this might get me into playing it in bigger lobbies.

[@combat3817]

Yup that's how it works

[@GuardianOfTheHeaven]

ceu160193 Door traps is easy as it is. Weld the door like usual, but look out for the orange glow instead of the usual blue; that shows that the door is now rigged(you'll want to finish welding the door, however, otherwise it won't do full damage).

[@ceu160193]

I know it's easy, but almost no one welds doors. Without support repairing door after it's been destroyed, demo has little use for it.

[@GuardianOfTheHeaven]

You got a point there. I got reckless and destroyed so many doors as a Demo lol XD

[@KanaKaname]

As a dedicated medic from the first day of early access, I would like to provide a few tips based on my personal experience: 1) Unless you're soloing, you're always better off with all your skills set to left, especially 20L. The key advantage of medic's healing is the buff, especially damage reduction, which makes life and death difference when HOE zeds can kill ppl in 2-3 hits. If you can't provide such buff just because you wanna kill more stuff, then you're better off with either 401 commando or 301 support, who are just as good at mitigating small damage and better at killing stuff. 2) Even if you're soloing, under no circumstance should you pick Acidic Rounds, since your 401 mows down lesser zeds regardless, the only thing it does is panicking large zeds and send them into random directions, throwing off everyone's aim in the process. 3) Prioritize healing over shooting. You have 5 guys in your team whose only job is to kill zeds, and each one of them does it better than you, while you're the only one with sophisticated healing capability. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what to do. Though don't hesitate when you have a sound reason to shoot, your 401 is more than capable in mowing down trash and decapping SC. 4) The purpose of healing grenade is to provide area-denial and self-serving healing for a short amount of time. For example, when Hans raise his shield and summons loads of trashes, it's a very good idea to toss a grenade so your team can focus on taking down the shield without getting tackled by clots and crawlers.

[@ToaastMaan]

Literally perfect tips. Couldnt have said it better. But way too many people wanna play a commando with the medic. My fav perk

[@thetute59]

A few more things, always rotate medic weapons, at level 25, an AR and pistol will let you have an endless stream of heals. And tab to look at player health often.

[@gamerargus9391]

As someone who is often forced to play medic by necessity, this guide in something I don't absolutely NEED to see, but I like it all the same.

[@jordanpoole5238]

Why did you feel the need to write this comment

[@honda-priuss]

Fun Fact: Adrenaline Shot and its sibling skills, their effects can apply to you if you heal yourself by Medic Grenade (ex. You can speed boost yourself with the Medic Grenade if Adrenaline Shot is selected.) I learned that very recently ;-)

[@HummusActual]

My man, I love this series of videos, very informative and digestible. I look forward to more vids :^)

[@wildfire389]

Your killing floor videos take ages to come out. But they never disappoint. They're extremely high quality and editing is that of a movie editor

[@VermilionCosmos]

Just wanna say your videos are phenomenal and very professional. Thank you for all the info!

[@stormtrooperisgb]

I just want to point out that when using the left side perk buffs for Medic, you can still buff teammates even when they’re at full health. And you can also buff yourself at full health as long as you have a teammate that needs health. You CAN’T buff yourself and your teammates at the same time if you’re both at full health however. Just a little detail I think fellow medics should know 👌

[@ToaastMaan]

You can buff them, they still get the movement boost, dont know about dmg & dmg res tho

[@ThiagoJaqueta]

I love games where it's fun to play as Medic, KF2 is definitelly one of them. Nice choice of background music btw.

[@DarkKnight666]

I'm a big fan of the way you make videos. I remember a long time ago I started doing Team Fortress 2 guides in a similar format, but gave up after 2 videos (also got bored of the game). So keep it up man, this is beyond excellent.

[@StoicFC]

These videos are awesome, thanks!

[@mob5613]

Awesome. Please do more like this

[@JackRabbittm]

Honestly, being a support medic main myself, I've usually sufficed just fine by saving up early for the medic assault rifle. Once I get that and have enough to restock my ammo and armor, usually I can start giving any spare money to my teammates. I've managed to survive the whole game and usually can keep my teammates alive through it as well (provided they aren't complete idiots.)

[@swedishanarchy-gamingmore4390]

You earned yourself a sub. Keep it up!

[@jochisfx]

Really some of the best KF2 guides on youtube. Only change I would recommend is showing the perk tree on screen when you are discussing the different skill choices as the visuals would help with the whole Left vs Right explanation. (also maybe show a recommended perk set-up for lazy people)

[@AzuraTheEnby]

Love your videos they are very helpful and nice

[@tobediv]

i fucking love these guides, watched the old ones 3 times over excited to see this to the end!

[@parsley3215]

Damn, I was just looking for a video of yours.

[@D3ViiANT]

I main medic and I only play endless mode. My go-to is the SMG that I upgrade fully and the RPG as my secondary weapon. The RPG, while not a perk weapon is very helpful against Fleshpounds and if you unfortunately end up the last player standing the RPG might help you solo.

[@DoctuhD]

Feeding the medic early on is really *good* for team economy, because the med can feed back for 2-4 waves easily, and overall increases profit since weaker early guns mean more cost efficient ammo and more damage taken (which means more healing dosh). Always do it if you're Berserker. Wave 2: one player (or two if necessary) feed the medic enough for a med rifle. Wave 3: Medic feeds that player enough for their T4 weapon. Wave4-5: Medic feeds everyone to fill their main loadouts. Also, the double barrel is a good cheap alternative to the crossbow in chaotic games, since it is an effective big zed killer and can get you out of bad situations easily so you can continue healing. However, upgrades on it are ineffective. And this should go without saying, but never use money a teammate gives you to buy armor in the first half of the game...

[@BROLY_32]

Very nice guide, as usual ! Really enjoyed the video. However, I think Resilience is greatly underrated, not enough people use it imo and it feels way better than the other one when used correctly. On HoE, I only take this one no matter how many players there is. I try to get as close to 50hp as possible with sirens early on and then I buy a full kevlar while asking my teammates to never heal me. I keep myself around 30-60hp and it's actually crazy how tanky you get by playing like this, kevlar takes a really long time to go down and health barely moves when you get hit. It might feel risky, but it's really not if you do it right. Even a raging FP or SC barely scratches a med with 50hp and a full kevlar who's using Resilience. In the end, it saves a lot of kevlar money and turns you into a real tank for when the team needs it.

[@mattzeravla3339]

FrBROLY32 i approve this. the tankiness is impressive. but when i do this i find it often that players uses syringe on me during trader time despite being asked not to do so

[@thetute59]

I love the tankyness it gives, however I prefer symbiotic health for one simple reason: it gives me the buffs as well when I heal a teammate, while resilience does not.

[@AJ-zu7ct]

Neat video man👍

[@katytis2012]

Zedative is useless, whether you solo or coop. Just take airborne agent, it will act as a beacon of good health in coop, and as a protective shield from all zeds (that will make even the biggest brutes to flinch), and it'll follow you for 8 seconds after zedtime is over.

[@ghoulbuster1]

true, it's really good, and it pretty much instakills trash!

[@katytis2012]

Spidery buggers die almost instantly.

[@Outplayedqt]

yeah idk why mr dangles talked about it like it was even a viable option in some comps

[@darkgcn14]

Because Zedative is a viable option in some comps/maps, though I see it as beneficial in CD games only. Where you have 350+ large zeds a game. If your commando can extend reliably then Zedative is insanely powerful and is often taken when we run Medic on certain maps.

[@katytis2012]

Niche, but yeah, could be good for Controlled Difficulty. But niche does not work in public games, regular survival/endless mode/etc, on whatever difficulty that player(s) do. If you guys have setup highly coordinated game with careful perk selections, plan A's and plan B's, all of you communicate via mic or radial commands and immediately execute coordinated actions,all of you effectively hold out preplanned holdout spots, you all put alot of effort into taking shit down and keeping your teammates alive - medic with zedative is going to work. But for public games with low coordination, rag-tag teams it won't work.

[@Ribs351]

I often find myself keeping the HMTech-101 Pistol all the way up to the late game without selling it. Switching to a sidearm is always faster than reloading, same goes for healing. My load out for medic would be the oldest in the meta: Assault rifle, shotgun and pistol. If the situation calls for it, I can rapidly switch between weapons to dish out healing while not having to worry about running out of ammo since I'll always have another weapon to use. Resilience should be used in "Hold out" maps like descent or power core as those maps don't require you to be as mobile as usual since survivability is top priority. If you would stay at ~50 hp, ACTIVELY asking your teammates NOT to heal you and buys armor every round, only healing yourself when you reach ~20hp, you'll be as tanky as a berzerker as long as your armor holds up, do watch for sirens though. Edit: By default all medics are combat medics, those who exclusively picking the right tree in coop games, acting as discount swat/commando and not healing their teammates are called "battle medics", in my opinion, and this is just my opinion, they're a waste of a player slot.

[@thetute59]

Not sure if you know but having the symbiotic health talent makes the buffs apply to you as well. I agree that a battle medic is just kinda of a waste of slot, however if you wanna level medic fast its the way to go, so I understand why many people chose that route.

[@TheOctopusPirateShow]

Also, if you target you teammates through scope to shoot healing darts at them, the shot has 100% chance to reach the target (if there's no obstacle between you&teammate)

[@DTS214]

We need an updated version of these, these lower pop games need more people like you.

[@facepuncher5998]

We need a payday 2 crossover with Dallas becoming a character.

[@jtktomb8598]

Yeah, kf 2 need more crossover, with viscera cleanup too

[@FemboyJoe]

There was a mod before the game came out of beta mode. And it was really well done. Youd use dallas but can change his suit colour and mask to the respective original payday crew

[@xMasterSparku]

Crossovers would really help this game a lot but TWI refuses to do so because feedback to previous updates was bad. Except they fail to see people hated the fact that the Chivalry update brought along a pay 2 win weapon that was overpowered as shit (and I think it's meta again) instead of it just being purely cosmetic. If they focused on cosmetic crossovers with unique weapon skins then I think more people would be okay with them.

[@SirAnthonyIII_]

I reeeeeally don't know why, but ever since the 9mm pistol's fire rate nerf, as Gunslinger I've been using the med pistol as my main pistol up till I buy dual m1911s or AF11s, it's surprisingly powerful with rack em up and good if you don't have the best accuracy with a single m1911's iron sight.

[@ChaosDemon2]

I’ve been using the Mac 10 with my perk weapons just to gain levels on my firebug since medics have the best survivability while using guns. Plus poison and fire damage can be stacked simultaneously, making for some devastating crowd control in crowded rooms on objective rounds with lots of trash Zeds. For those that are new to using the medic class, always heal the teammate with the lowest health, and use medic grenades if you have multiple near death in two different spots.

[@angelesparza2587]

my fav is the medic smg and an RPG launcher the loudout is all out killing and heaking machine when used correctly

[@AMXM-do5kw]

Regardless what class/perk you use, healing another team member will always give you money

[@TeddyBearKilla]

Adrenaline shot, Focus injection and Coagulant booster can also apply to yourself if you're in the level 25 airborne agent aoe (The aoe stays after zed time for a few seconds), standing in a medic grenade even if at full health or if you shot someone and healed them with symbiotic healing. You also can give the buff to teammates even if it doesn't heal them so it's good to give them to damage dealers.

[@elafire818]

Yay finally!

[@NolDragon]

Medic perk was godlike in KF1, it's still satisfying to play in KF2 !

[@Plaga516]

[@bkteer]

what's your opinion on the newly added hmtech 501? Is it a good replacement to the 401 or the 301?

[@mrsteeleftw]

I absolutely love.playing medic. Usually will go with the assault rifle since I can fire out 3 healing darts super quick. Bad thing tho is if you end being the last alive then soloing a boss isn't the greatest.

[@Fjunbollen13]

How good is the healthrower? It can push around some large or medium zeds like Sirens and Bloats and it also sprays a healing gas.

[@KingHero136]

Medic

[@saltystalin5088]

Tier V Medic AR , Tier V Medic SMG , Tier II Medic Pistol (And a Tier V 9mm if you have enough dosh). Extremely ammo conservative build with enough damage to possess some independence from threats. A side plus is the ability to rapid swap between the 3 weapons and spam healing darts on chaotic late game waves, maintaining the constant self-healing, increased sprint speed, damage increase and damage resistance buffs.

[@mrshiftyreckless7708]

You know what’s funny? When I’m medic with my squad, I top frag and heal 1000+ hp almost every time (with the assistant of headshots) but in Radom groups I really focus healing

[@thetute59]

medic a lot of times gets high kill numbers cause hes one of the people responsible for trash-zeds.

[@skeletor639]

My go to loadout for medic, is the AR, T2 med pistol (which costs 0 weight and allows you to 1 Hit KO on all clots, crawlers and stalkers with a headshot) the katana for parrying raged fleshpounds, and c4 for either helping out with Quarter pounds, helping the demo with a fleshpound or marking patriarch by sticking him with them for your team to see where he is.

[@orateusdijin6557]

my 2nd favorite perk.

[@MrGreendayzed]

If you need to heal a lot at once you can shoot your heal darts then swap weapons & repeat with all three of you guns. It's best to use with tanks that are taking all the agro.

[@correiadaniel2013]

Hell Yeah !! Thank you Romeo Índia Charlie Hotel haha, the best

[@ironaceofspades6255]

I like too bring a medic smg with a hemogoblin while running the left perk tree. Doing this you can upgrade the hemogoblin to + 1 or 2 while having a +2 or 3 smg. The hemogoblin can weaken the large zeds and the smg is a fast finisher.

[@thekenjistream8683]

I love playing medic. Well I love playing every single class but medic is pretty fun.

[@LukasQueen]

One time on a 10 wave HoE I got under 50 kills, but none of my teammates died cuz I focused purely on healing them. This was on The Descent :D

[@v3pic]

How do you think it will change once the HMTech-501 comes out for the Halloween update?

[@Lyunpaw]

I question the Dart recharge time and damage info given in this video; and yes, I know the video is from July and there have been updates since.

[@gabryeltheunisz1493]

Can I have your view on the medic grenade assault rifle?

[@DukeWubzington]

I'm curious, I'm assuming it was added after this video was made, but what are your thoughts on the new medic assault rifle with the healing grenade launcher? Would that be more beneficial to use over the regular assault rifle, or is it more cost efficient to use the regular assault rifle?

[@WorstChicken]

Give up darts and the DAM, SPD, and DAM RESIST that come with the skills. But get crowd control with the nades, cheaper than the throwables. I use it with the shotgun recently for suicide and it works pretty good especially if you are spread out a bit. The group I play with plays well together though, randoms love to run off and die. IMHO I have better luck/control with the 501 than the 401 AR. 401 has horrid recoil. It does cost 2k so it may be really hard to get in the first 3 rounds. typically run pistol smg and then get it. And you can only upgrade the shotty once with it. So honestly, if you're going for a combat medic, go for it, acidic rounds and increased mag. But chances are, you'll want to skip it especially if you are a all left skill build. Again IMHO, I love it, way more then the Hemo, which is cool, but horrid in HOE.

[@JohnSmith-lr6kf]

The buffs you apply to your team are also applied to yourself! You didn’t mention that

[@JonniBoiz]

They have to add more prestige’s I just keep maxed this perk out lol!

[@psycosanches589]

There's a reason nobody plays Suicidal/HoE in this game without a sizeable party, because nobody wants to play medic up there and you have people trying to go in with classes below the bare minimum requirement of level 20 on their perks. Without a medic on suicidal/HoE, it's not a mater of IF you will lose, it's a matter of WHEN. That when, in long game, will generally be within the first 3 rounds.

[@crystalisk5415]

psycosanches589 I mean I don't know your skill level but my mate and I duo su/hoe all the time with low level characters it's not that hard

[@FireFeniX203]

[@akiiienaaa]

[@eduardodiaz9942]

You should update the video to include the new Medic assault rifle with underslung medic grenade launcher. That thing is beastly.

[@ir0n2541]

It's nice but it doesn't shoot darts which kind of gimps your abilities

[@reonthornton685]

I'd like to provide an alternative way to run the class, mixed. While in an organized team, a support medic is good, it simply isn't viable if not in an organized group. I personally run symbiotic health, 50% increased magazine, Focus Injection and 20% extra damage, plus airborne agent. This puts you at maximum survivability for a medic while still providing some buffs to your team, as I find random teams often leave the medic covering for themselves even on higher difficulties. I personally find myself forced into the role a lot, since I rarely find anyone else running it, and that's usually due to it's lower killing power and low organization across a team, which means anyone who does take up medic is going to have problems keeping themselves clear of zeds.

[@thetute59]

I can only imagine running right side talents if Im either playing solo or on low difficulty. The buffs you can give people are just too much value imho. In terms of survivability the damage resistance talent is also crazy good, as if you heal yourself with a medicgrenade the buffs will apply to you as well. Left side allows to clutch someone out of a very bad situation. This is not as much needed on lower difficulties. medic is very good at clearing space out for himself, and its something one has to learn. Hmtech401 and 501 are great in killing anything low-medium. The medic nadelauncher disposes of all small zeds with one grenade, effectivly allowing you to "reinforce" a frontline or even your own much needed backline.

[@logmover123]

Medic has to be my second favorite, support taking the first spot. I've been able to win matches when teammates die easily with it. I use mainly combat, I only use the two bottom heal support perks to help out with teammates. The first one, I choose Resilience because it's definitely better in all cases, as there is only poison resistance without it. Second one, Combatant Doctor, I usually run this because a lot of time that movement speed is a huge help, plus the magazine capacity is nice. I have tried to use Adrenaline shot perk before, but when a teammate is pinned they generally panic too much and can't run. Third one, Acidic rounds, I personally like this one because on beginning waves I can easily end almost anything with the starting pistol. Although it can also anger large zeds it also can be very useful. The reason I don't use Focus injection is aligned with the reason I don't use Adrenaline shot, if a teammate is cornered they generally can't outrun, or out damage the zeds to free them selves. I find if a teammate gets in a sticky situation, the medic should see it coming before it happens and prevent death. The fourth one I use Coagulant booster, it is super useful for the situation I've listed above. It gives the teammate time to deal damage and be less panic-y. It also gives me time to throw a grenade, or switch weapons to heal them more. The fifth one is Airborne agent, which is very useful in all cases. Having the moment speed so high allows you to avoid large zed attacks and when entering zed time, crawlers around you die instantly. I prefer this over the combat perk because of the walk & die crawler effect.

[@tink5488]

As a medic main this is good overall. Wish I could change the Red dot back to what it was for the rifle... don't know why they changed it, hate the new one. 8:20 The posion part of medic has been bugged for some time. The point damage is.. nothing. 2-3 damage each second for 10ish seconds when the enemies have hundreds (some thousands) of health.. is very 'meh'. They need to add one or two zeros to make the medic damage anything 'good' for poison. 10:35 Thank you! So many say that medics should just heal. Yet if you have situational awareness, you can keep your team alive via healing and also cover their backs by killing certain trash. In extreme cases you can body block or absorb a hit that would kill a teammate if necessary since medic has more 'durability'. Since medic (all L) can heal themselves when healing others, which is one of the reasons why they're so tanky. 11:30 says who? I've been top frag before on HoE , just gotta communicate with your team is all. So far 1300 hours and counting as medic (2k+ played).

[@frostysimo1394]

My favorite loadout for Medic was always Med-Rifle, Med-Pistol, DBS, and Katana. Keyword: "was". The latest update threw that loadout out the window, Medic hasn't felt the same since.

I feel you, really missing the DBS on Medic here. But the SMG buffs are great though, I've taken to using it together with the Pulverizer for my parrying+burst damage needs.

[@sneakyangels9156]

That was the good shit for high skilled Medics. FeelsBadMan

[@WorstChicken]

What TWI needs to do is actually show, on the weapon stats what the skills are actually doing if they add damage. We have yellow for the upgrades, so why not red for the skills? Would be nice. Good video, I've been trying to rethink my medic with the latest gun and wanted to get some other opinions.

[@SuperGeekNo1]

Will Survivalist be getting its own video?

[@remerson4]

The Number 1 thing I hate about being a medic. . . When teammates get themselves in a stupid situation, die and blame you for it. Like I cant save you from being annihilated if your in a corner getting passed around by 3 fleshpounds 2 scrakes and a gang of bloats

[@Finppa]

I'm not going to be the one saying "first" but instead, I'll say "I was here before the video was HD". EDIT: Great video Richard. Information is provided nicely. I myself like Tier 5 Medic AR, Med Pistol and C4. I play solo so killing those fleshies is nice.

[@SchroyerAlec]

I deffinatly have to try that now. That's sounds very viable

[@shiraxilonscillofyk6191]

We should totally get a Medic Sniper. Maybe it's sight is a vertical rectangle of sorts. (Think flip sight from cod ghosts or something, I dunno)

[@thetute59]

The new medic nade launcher feels really OP. I frequently get top kills + 1.5k+ healing on HoE. Crazy shit. Love the class, always loved it. I play left side talents only. If possible I try to be either the backline of my team or being in the middle, so I can easily heal all players equally. If a flank gets heavy pressure I just throw a healing nade, and if shit still hits the fan I push that side to help regaining area control, not before leaving back another healing grenade for my other teammates. P.S. Im aware that 1.5k healing isnt much, but if the only time a person dies during 10 waves is when the person fucked up, well... :>

[@user-lu4ng9mg9y]

Best supporting medic loadout for first KF is M7A3, Schneidzekk, MP5M and any pistol\flare gun. Sadly, my pc is too old for kf2 :c

[@joeyglastetter5449]

Did you know that if you use the healing darts on one gun it does not effect any of the medic weapons.

[@F0wlPlay]

I main medic because they're virtually unkillable and get near-final say on who lives. There is another detail I like to call 'revving' where you can put darts into fully healed teammates to stack all of the buffs up and maintain them. This is super useful if you know quarter pounders are coming in and the demolishiousness looks bored. (Stacking damage buff) Other than that, for soloing, I'd reccommend picking up C4. Your normal grenades don't deal much damage to non-trash mobs, where as C4 _flattens_ more troublesome types, especially if you have the patience to run around and pick up ammo in order to light up a scrake like an Xmas tree before blasting them to hell. The AR is pretty essential, especially for co-op, though you get usually better results from the grenades since, while running Resilience, you may not want to heal yourself by more than 10 up in order to sit at around 50hp. Lastly, why use Symbiosis if you're soloing? Half of the perk is wasted by the lack of teammates, and the damage reduction of Resilience makes your armor last forever unless you get pinned. Don't get me wrong, Symbiosis is my automatic go-to if I'm playing anything other than solo...I just don't get the preference to solo with it.

[@Verticom10]

Personally i use the first 4 combat option perks, ass rifle smg pistol and 2 deagles for stopping power

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

I would go with the HMtech 301 Shotgun with the HMtech 501 Grenade rifle

[@overbuzzy]

honestly. there's no better perk than a field medic

[@suzy.crabgrass]

I like using the HRG Vampire.

[@ZeroAddedSugar]

I play medic a lot and it seems like I'm the only one that chooses resilience. Even though symbiotic health does heal you if you heal teammates, I've felt as though resilience has made me last longer as you do get more effective health overall, and medic grenades plus your low syringe cool down compensates for the extra source of healing from symbiotic health.

[@TeaWithFoxMeat]

You're not alone, friend.

[@Noissimsarm]

Medic is only fun when your team is bad enough to get hurt but not so bad that they cant kill anything or get cornered often.

[@veregil9062]

I made it to wave 7 with just a medical syringe

[@murakumoenthusiast7299]

Who knows if battle surgeon increase bleeding dmg on hemoglobin?

[@heart6438]

I feel like you arent really taking into consideration just how strong a T5 Hemogoblin + Acidic Rounds actually is. Ive personally taken care of countless FP's and can Kite Scrakes all day with its slowing effect, and once the poison status finally sets in and the Zed starts to panic, you can either dump another mag or run to safety. Plus it combos excellently well with the firebug and when they focus on the same big zed, they melt it in mere seconds through the massive damage over time. Also worth noting that the Fire Panic effect usually occurs before the Poison Panic effect, allowing an easy panic effect chain to shut down any problematic big zeds before they can rage out or deal any real damage.

[@Waldherz]

There is a new Medic AR.

[@rionn_aotrom_2509]

Is the music used in the videos original or Killing Floor OST?

[@play3rthr339]

Killing floor ost

[@vandettaberggren9429]

I am a field medic main in killing floor I usually go on normal I like calm games more and I save up to get the health thrower to heal faster I make use of my syringes and medic darts as side heals and the health thrower for damage to zeds and a slow but safe healing of my team m8's every round I kill zeds and heal players to get enough cash to restock ammo and armor and such, whatever dosh I have left I give to my team

[@sashapinesnguyenhienhoa8003]

Which medic is more tanky the kf1 or kf2 ?

[@pynekxd4867]

Sasha Pines / Nguyễn Hiền Hòa kf1

[@EthanDarke]

Medic was the first class I ever played when I got into the series. It seems in gaming in general 'heal' class is almost always the least favored. Though I was a medic myself in reality so I suppose it has the rare appeal to me haha. Personally I aim to get the medic assault rifle as early as possible. With quick bursts its Very easy to wipe out trash zeds no problem and even rack up numerous head shots. Keeping grenades and body armor is the next loadout priority for me and if money allows it, dual m9's in the event ammo runs dry or I get caught with my pants down during a reload. Other than that I dump my cash to my teammates and spend most rounds highly mobile, constantly checking on the team and popping healing darts even if they're just down a few points, and often stick to our Berserker assuming we have one.

[@F0wlPlay]

The Main Slow goings at first, but who isn't? The AR helps pump out buffs in rapid succession as well as topping off accidents that were made. Th AR deals enough damage to 'ex' most trash mobs including sirens and bloats with a bit of focus fire. Other classes should usually benefit from such buffs and heals to maintain pressure on zeds where they would otherwise be pushed back. Outside of buffing and healing, a discering combat-chemist is nearly indestructable by utilizing their right-side buffs.

[@igor79cz]

my priority is alwayes to get top wepon.rifle.then shotgun for coop. and for solo rifle and crossbow

[@ZeR-hw3to]

Does somebody know the name of the intro song for all these class videos ?
