Fun zed slaying for the first 15 or 20 hours.

Followed by 2 hours of "find speedgrinding server" so you don't have to spend 400hrs getting your shit up to a high enough level to handle the fun difficulties.

so you have to be a high level to enjoy the fun parts ?

Unlike a lot of games where personal skill conquers all, the difficulty in KF is tied heavily to the stats. So unless you have the levels and perks that boost your damage enough to compensate for the inflated health bars, you can't really do the harder levels without other high-level players or a shitload of kiting.

a fun, gory co-op game to play with friends.
Obviously very boring all alone, and the experience can vary a great deal with randoms.

The game's good from the start, but you get more Perk customization options + more strength as you level up ... which can make it more fun, definitely also easier. However, you usually level up to move on to the next difficulty level, which fortunately reshuffles things quite a bit, so it won't be dull.

oh fuck off! I got 90h put to the game already, have most perks above 10, and I've not spend a single second on speed-grinding servers or anything of the sort. Only ever played w/ friends, and have had blast!

is it overall worth buying though ? looks fun. ill return it if anything.

I start vote kicks against obvious lvl grinders everytime. The amount of lvl 25 cuckmandos and shitslingers that wipe on hard and suicidal is ridiculous

>grinders
explain this to me have no idea what you guys are talking about.

Yeah its pretty good it actually its gotten much better in the last month with the SWAT perk update. It was a bit of a mess for awhile.

You'll be totally fine at low levels on normal mode but like that user said you won't be doing hard mode until your perks are leveled up a bit.

1st one is better.

alright thanks for the info

not him, but I've played Killing Floor titles since the original 1.0 UT2k4 mod, put almost 1k hours to KF1 as well, and I've really enjoyed KF2 quite a bit now. The recently released SWAT update really made the game great all around, even if it's still not fully "ready" according to devs.

You obviously need to start on the easiest (Normal) difficulty, and then start trying your luck on Hard as you level up. Having a friend or two to play and actually work together with (talk on mics, etc) really makes the game shine.

I go a step further: I only ever play on my own / my friend's password protected servers.

New to vidya?

Grinding = actively gathering EXP to level up your characters. Some user-created grinding servers are designed so that you can quickly gather up points, borderline cheat your levels up in other words.

fags that play on those level up maps where you can kill the zeds in a closed space for easy xp.

Can't blame them cause holy shit whats with the fucking insane level grind anyway? I mean KF1 had some rough grinding but a entire level meant something. With KF2's 25 fucking levels it takes too damn long.

DOSH & Zeds.

Also one of the best and most impressive gore system in any game, ever, if you got a recent Nvidia card. Quite nice even without it.

>With KF2's 25 fucking levels it takes too damn long.
Wrong. There's 25 tiny levels so you actually feel like you're progressing, and they do count up at quite quick rate.
You get free LV1s for any perk you wish by playing the Basic Training. After that, it's pretty much a level / game.

Even worse, you only really get meaningful upgrades every 5 levels, so in reality you only truly level up 5 times (the same as the first game) but take at least 3x as long to do it.

I remember grinding door welding in the first game, where you could just kite 2 clots to a door in Westlondon, weld from one side, open the Steam Overlay and let it run overnight, so by morning you'd have enough weld points to reach level 6 with normal shotgun usage.

People bitching at you for being a noob.

>being filthy cheaters
no wonder the whole industry sucks ass.
Literal fucking furcoat, no nickers bitches.

tfw amd

I got an older Nvidia card myself, so no Flex effects for me. Still, if you can crank up the corpse count, and maybe use real-time reflections on top, the maps will end up looking like literal, messy slaughter zones after a few waves.

>implying forcing difficulty through inflated health bars isn't the epitome of lazy design

Also, I don't have hundreds of hours to pump up my stats simply so I can play at a higher difficulty that isn't actually more difficult besides things taking more bullets to die. Thanks for enabling the decline by embracing shitty design.

>inflated health bars
someone never has played KF2, or doesn't know jack shit about how it plays.

>I don't have hundreds of hours to pump up my stats simply so I can play at a higher difficulty
Then don't play the fucking game, moron!

tfw rocking an HD 7770 still

At least the game runs fine. but god damn this nvidia exclusive shit sometimes.

>baaaaaa i need to grind to level 25 to play fun difficulties
I play suicidal on perk levels 5. I only don't touch HoE without 20, but with friends we go low lever perks even there and if you don't suck you can win.

>Then don't play the fucking game, moron!
I don't think you're supposed to scare potential customers away, shill.

>"m-muh shills!"
you people are pathetic.
seriously moron, if you don't appreciate the game and don't have friends to play it with, actually enjoying the gameplay and all the tactical possibilities it actually offers, then why fucking bother??

It was annoying as fuck seeing those fake LV6 cheaters storm into servers in KF1, wearing TF2 Pyro skins and wielding golden guns, yet having NO understanding of the map layouts, or even how the game works.

I hate that corpses mess with bullet penetration. Especially annoying when a crawler you're aiming at is charging through a large pileup.

dont

do not

D O N T
FUCKING PLAY
SWAT

DONT YOU EVER FUCKING PICK SWAT YOU LITTLE PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT

CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUCKING TEAM BY PICKING SOMETHING ELSE

PICK COMMANDO IF YOU WANT YOU TO PLAY SWAT
AT LEAST YOU CAN SPOT STALKERS AND ACTUALLY FUCKING HELP

SWAT and gunslinger are cancer tier.

Also how come no one ever plays support anymore? I remember seeing a bunch of them in KF1

Gunslinger is amazing, it can kill scrakes in an instant. When you have rackemup perk even the 9mm pistol becomes amazing. I really dont see how its cancer

Support is fun now as well and i always see them around
They updated support to actually give armor and hold 3 shotguns with a medic pistol, as well as repairing broken doors
They actually support the team now

>After that, it's pretty much a level / game.
Are you joking? Around 10 it takes 2-3 games for a level and then around 18 it takes 4-5.

Why are people complaining about getting to level 25?
There's been so many double xp weekends, i literally have level 25 for every perk

nigga you drunk?
SWAT's flashbangs are fucking god-sent when a Scrake or FP is close by, and they can quickly mow down both small cannon-fodder packs and single big-hitters with their SMGs.

Nope. You just gotta win, and stop playing on Normal.

they're lazy ADHD casuals, who'd rather get all the Steam achievements than master the game.

I know this is a KF2 thread but is KF1 worth buying when it's on sale or is it completely dead? Reason why i wanna get KF1 is because i dont think my laptop would be able to run KF2

>firebug nerfs
>new perk is literally "make the perk yourself, we can't be arsed"
Fuck TWI, seriously.

Not him, but really you dont know much, all zeds get various abliltys/actions as you go up in difficultys.

Nothing wrong with cheating up to 25 if you already know how a perk works. A perk's leveling is always going to be slower than a player's development of skill on that perk unless they are complete shitters.

Stop playing on Normal.

I'd rather them give us another zed and boss rather than perk. They already covered the spectrum of guns and abiliites.

I've just seen a consistent pattern of gunslingers that always let the team down. Even level 25 ones. Sharpshooter does the same job but is more reliable in the sense of survivability.

Don't see why not. There are still die hard fans of the first game still playing. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to find a friend to play with though

gunslinger requires you to actually aim, you probably got some shit teamates then
All i know is i love playing as gunslinger because using double 500 magnums to destroy everything is easy and fun

KF1 still has players, but just like with all games like this, you better have some REAL friends to play with. Really makes the game so much more better.

Also, my few years old craptop with i3 @ 2.1Ghz, 6GB RAM and GT 540M 1GB can run KF2 decently at 720p / low.

What are you talking about? They scrapped martial artist because it would overlap with beserk and would feature alkward weapons.

They are still working on tje replacement, probs a zed specialist/ experement.

Gunslinger is up and close that can kill the smaller mooks easily as well as scrakes and flespounds as long as its headshots
Sharpshooters have very little ammo and require them to stand still and use their winchester for everything

They both can kill scrakes and fleshpounds with headshots but one is a camper while the other can run around

>he doesn't know
destructoid.com/killing-floor-2-s-tenth-perk-is-the-survivalist-388893.phtml

They scrapped martial artist because they couldn't think of new and intresting ways to make him unique

So then they made survivalist
sarcasm

>what are fist weapons

this sounds actually fucking cool to me.

I was a turbo-Medic w/ Katana + M79 / Crossbow all the time in KF1, and still tend to mix some off-perk weapons with different builds. Thus, this thing might fit my needs damn well.

I mean the name isnt the best, but i can see the use. Little bit of a letdown, and its eather going to be broken or shit. Still would have preferd a oddball support that does weird shit.

I play with randoms sure, but 9/10 times out of 20+ games they're always the first to go down regardless of level. I'm not saying its impossible to be good at the class, just saying most people who play it are fucking shit.

>They both can kill scrakes and fleshpounds with headshots but one is a camper while the other can run around
Who camps as a sharpshooter? Because unless I've been playing the class wrong they can get just as much in zeds faces and wreck shit successfully as any one else. Though I also never use the cross bow so that's definitely something to consider.

Although i would LOVE the idea of beating a fp to death with my hands, its just not something that the zerk wouldnt conceptually cover. That and ita abilitys would be just glass canon zerk (notlike they arent making him that anyway)

All my friends play on console and KF2 looks like complete fucking ass on PS4 so i guess that's sort of a problem.
Also my laptop specs are AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 graphics 2.20 GHz with 8.00 GB of ram

There are still servers up and running, but having friends definitely helps the experience. Or getting a decent group of randoms.
