[@doorsareforopening]

This list can be easily broken down into frontline (Zerk, Firebug, Swat) < backline (Demo, Sharp) < midline (Commando, Medic, Slinger, Support)

[@immortalnub]

Major problem with that though: mando, slinger, sharp, support, and flashless swat need aggro for their takedowns.

[@davecrupel2817]

The game is too chaotic for that. The only place where you can mount any proper defense is the guard tower in the Prison map. When youre inside that fence, no zed can approach you from the rear. Not even crawlers. 1 zerk spartan at the gate, 1 medic, 1 support for ammo, 1 swat for stun and MG (better than commando) support. And in the tower overlooking the courtyard, 1 demo and 1 sharp for big zed killing and long range crowd softening. Or trade the sharp for a 2nd bezerker for HoE. Which you will need. I consider myaself a master class bezerker. And helped my whole team get the platinum ps4 trophy by willing a HoE game this way.

[@giuseppegarrubba57]

@@davecrupel2817 there are other viable camping spots like the 2-lane cliff on zed landing Three players per lane (1 healer 1dps 1 Frontline). That's pretty funny to play.

That's kinda tedius and braindead if you ask me

[@JackRabbittm]

You see, I have a bit of a problem with your use of a learning curve when it comes to determining the position of the perk. You say the Berserker has a tough learning curve to master, and I think you are correct with that. But to place it all the way at slot 7 for that reason? That's painful. On top of this, you put Gunslinger, a perk which also has a really steep learning curve to master, at number one despite saying that it has the learning curve. It's just confusing to me because I agree that both perks have a steep learning curve, but to put one at 7 and one at 1? That's just confusing to me.

[@screamingcactus1753]

I think his point was that Berserker is much harder to play than other perks, and has a hard time getting as much value as the top tier perks even when performing well. Both Berserker and Gunslinger are difficult classes, but berserker is significantly harder while at the same time having less potential even at the top of its learning curve.

[@-IAmTheSenate]

For me the gunslinger and sharpshooter are the hardest perk to play because I play on a potato laptop with fps drops. Not to mention their lurning curve. I'm doing much better as a commando, firebug, demo, medic and sometimes support (HoE)

[@immortalnub]

The learning curve isn't important. The important part is the skill ceiling.

[@Mr._Sherwood]

Oh, I feel you there. I can't hit headshots to save my life, and half the time it's usually because my game would randomly drop a few frames while I'm trying to line a shot up and I wouldn't even see the frame where a Zed's nut is in my sights. The other half of the time is because I just suck at aiming. It's probably why I gravitate towards Firebug and Demo.

I think you're fairly accurate, when prioritizing offensiveness. I fell in love with the firebug in KF1, able to clear a room in seconds at max levels, leaving just the large zeds behind. The ability to stumble large zeds in KF2 is amazing. I can just clear out the small enemies, and puff fire at the large ones to keep them off my teammates. This is a bigger issue on endless more than survival imo, since some rounds are 90% skrakes or something, and I can help keep them away from pinning us as we run away.

The Gunslinger is one of the most powerful perks and yes the lurking curve is difficult because in suicidal or hell on earth you team needs constant headshots from you and depends on you for taking on large zeds and the ammo problem is a big deal, but the zerk is also powerful in its own way cause of the parry bonus being really powerful against trash and big zeds with the right weapons for the job, but AMAZING VIDEO!!

I’d rank firebug a bit higher on the list since the only time my friends have had a problem with all the fire was when we’re killing the smaller ZEDS which the firebug has no problem taking care of, and I find it very effective against bosses, especially the patriarch since the burn damage helps my team find him whenever he turns invisible and runs away

"... and the trench gun come to mind. And they sort of lack the punch and efficiency of other weapons." Pretty sure I've seen dragonsbreath absolutely rip through clumps of zeds, even medium and heavy tiered ones. I can understand criticism of the trench shotgun reload mechanics, but if we're talking "punch," I think different wording could be used. Also- it's a tad hard to avoid lanes with precision perk users when they continually come over to take pot shots at zeds that are *already on fire.*

[@arataki4417]

Personally I would but the demolitionist in first place for 1 reason, HRG Kaboomstick. This weapon is so overpowered to me I get bored whenever I play with it, I can kill fleshpounds in 1 dual barrel shot, scrakes the same. I can kill bosses in a couple double barrel shots. No need to worry about close range which is one of demo's weaknesses, it's a shotguns that's what it's for. It's a trash clearing god to me, Can kill big zeds in 1 or 2 double barrel shots, ammo isn't that big of an issue cause there are ammo packs lying everywhere, also you still have space for an extra weapon even if you max upgrade it.

[@rH0und]

[@realityorfiction]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on best perk. I actually think Commando should be a lot lower. Those of us who played Killing Floor 1, know that Commando in Killing floor 2 has been regulated to being a a weaker version of swat with only use is for slow mow and seeing Stalkers.I miss the glory days of Commando. Dont get me wrong, those utilities are important but come on, go try out killing floor 1 and tell me how great Commando can be. Gunslinger is an excellent class, especially since tripwire has shown more love to Gunslinger than any other class. So many new weapons being added to it every update, but number 1 has to be beserker. You get a good beserker and they will win the game for your team even when your pub team dies.

[@mikeblackmetal]

I'm already prestige all my perks. Berserker is already maxed so my current perk is Survivalist. When I beated my first HoE match with 6 players, I went "purist" (I mean, just using perk weapons). In this case, killerwatt for trash and freezethrower for big zeds. That last weapon is pretty good if you know how to use it. In other cases, if my team lacks a medic or needs more healers, I use medic AR. Anyway, survivalist is pretty good as long as you know how to fight properly with all weapons and you fill team holes :3

[@pyroshock3834]

As a new player, i found survivalist to be the best for one man armying your way through the crowds as it is well balanced over every zone.

They need a rework of all the skills they have and knockdown is just stupid in a game were you rely on headshots most of the time to kill things fast.Nobody wants to have their targets knocked down, instead why not make them stun zeds more ?

[@alfredbanuelos7312]

As firebug, what they do best is be cost effective, with tier 25 you get unlimited ammo during zed time so you got amazing firepower and save on dosh. I run trenchgun and dual flareguns and extra dosh I give to medic or commando and once everyone maxes I go helios. I know when to stop spamming when holding a lane and use the quick command to ask for help for big zeds.

[@cannedpizza8651]

When I play demo I usually use the explosive double barrel with the extended blast radius buff, works really well for me except high rounds

[@marcsmith8884]

I used to agree about Survivalist until I found out about the perk that allows you to carry 5 more weight. A HRG bastion, pair of .500 Magnum revolvers, and the seal squeal, I'm pretty much an ammo-loaded tank

gunslinger gotta be one of my favorite glass cannons ngl

Hi! What's the intro song name?

[@Khichira2012]

I really enjoyed this video, eventhough it was aimed at higher skill levels of play =)

[@noahsmith4382]

Slinger 4 life! Very rewarding at high levels of play and fairly balanced because of their limited survivability options.

I’m just getting into kf2 so far firebug has caught my eye because I like playing him. But the problem is I like to just go crazy with flamethrower but that blocks the precision sometime 😆

[@Helldiver-K4]

Hey does anyone still play this game? I can never find an online match (I'm on Xbox)

[@fyrlefanz]

You're on Xbox, found your problem

1 Medic 2 Gunslinger/Berserker 3 Commando/Firebug/Survivalist 4 Sharpshooter/Support 5 Demolitionist (Prison GOD, but elsewere always in trouble) 10 Swat (Uber trash, evrything is a struggle, people who disagree have enough skills to make it work but it is not the swat that is making the magic hapen its u)

[@flashn00b]

TBH, i've always felt that this is a more ideal team composition on Suicidal. Berserker (Tanking) Field Medic (self-explanatory) Demolitionist (Takedowns) Commando (Trash clearing) Support (Ammo replenishing) Anyone other than SWAT (I'll get more into detail why I don't like SWAT) You probably know a lot more about the game than I do, though from my personal experience with both solo and team play, it seems like a lot of games devolve into "Hold S, magdump your weapons, hope a few stray bullets hit the head), and I feel like with firefights getting out of control real fast, precision perks might be more of a hindrance than anything when things come down to "Move first, aim later", especially when the Sharpshooter's damage skills often require him to paint himself as a target for the zeds to chew on. Personally, I think the Demolitionist is probably the strongest perk on paper having a weapon for every enemy type (RPG-7 for Scrakes, Fleshpounds and EDARs, HX for everything else) and while he has more mobility than Sharpshooter in that he doesn't lose out on any damage by running backwards and shooting, you'll still want a designated damage sponge to keep your targets far enough for your explosive weapons to arm. The Zerker's utility as a tank is probably THE most important asset in Suicidal games, and has some pretty good killing power with his melees. Can't imagine how smoothly my multiplayer sessions would go without someone who can take a licking and keep on ticking. Cuz every other perk certainly can't. And finally, why I think SWATs are usually a wasted slot: They're essentially a slightly tankier but objectively worse version of the Commando. I think the main reason why the Nailgun gets so much praise has more to do with its base stats rather than how the SWAT's skillset improves on them. You can probably get similar results as a Survivalist while also having a Centerfire as a dedicated medium zed killer. Even then, if you're gonna go Survivalist, it's probably better to go for an RPG+Buckshots+HM101+Hemoclobber combo while using Heavy Weapons Training and Weapon Harness

Demo and Pyro. I am the embodiment of chaos for the zeds, and they sing the sweet song from burning to ash or blasted to nothingness. And I saved my team's asses several times by killing big zeds or keeping trash at bay while they deal with the big ones. People really underestimate crowd control perks.

[@stephensalyers2340]

Yes

[@supercool1594]

Amen brother, speak.

[@casualcadaver]

My favorite perk since KF1 days has always been Support. I love that shotty action.

[@aramis3024]

Same , but i miss kf1 combos on kf2 but slinger Is awesome

[@Rushi486]

@@aramis3024 I miss the old double barreled shotgun. I cant find any use for the kf2 one

[@pufferfishman4203]

Gunslinger was the first class I gravitated towards when I originally started playing, and the deagles were and still are my favourite weapons, so it shocked me that gunslinger is the best perk in the game, and the deagles the pistol among them

[@Miresskaa]

How did you know that I watched the old list yesterday

[@hoodie1355]

Can’t speak for the other perks but from a medic main I think it should’ve been at least in 2nd. It’s not the best at killing tough zeds but can very much handle it’s own, not only with the HM-tech 301 shotgun which I’ve absolutely fallen in love with when taking out scrakes and flesh pounds, but also with the syringe being able to basically completely offset any damage given, even in a corner with flesh pounds and scrakes if you spam your healing grenades quick enough you’ll be able to make it out practically unscathed This is without also mentioning how the buffs you put on your teammates will also apply to you when healing them or when using your syringe but I think that was a feature added after this video was made so I’m happy with 3rd but if the creator makes an updated video I definitely think medic should be 2nd at least. Do really appreciate him acknowledging the medic’s effective and consistent healing though, in general the KF2 community is one of the only communities I’ve seen actually appreciate their medics, y’all are the best!!!

[@RougeHimbo]

Gunslinger also allows headshots to slow zeds by 30% allowing players to outrun all of the large zeds and bosses rushing you

i honestly thought demolition perk icon was a corona virus
