- Gunslinger: T4 Deagles, T4 1911s, single AF is best overall DPS. Or, if you want totally OP you can go T5 Deagles, T4 1911s/AFs, T2 MedPistol. T5 Deagles are bonkers. Would only go for that if you lane with a trash killer you can trust or have some Supports to refill the Deagles mid wave.
- The community of KF2 is one the best FPS communities out there! Toxic people are rare to find, and even though most of the player base is dedicated (and they will take for granted you know every bit of this guide by heart), it's to everyone's best interest to cooperate with the team, if you're going to make it out alive!
Killing Floor 2, the popular co-op horde shooter, is now available on Xbox One. Surviving waves of killer Zeds can be tough, especially when you're just starting out. We're here with 10 tips that. Every class has their specific uses, but I find these four to be the best out of all of them, either in Attack, defense, or healing. 3DS Friend Code: 2921-9132-1786 (3DS Name: Kratos), Region: NA/US Fire Emblem Fates (US) My Castle code: 9-0.
Intro
Meta = Most Effective Tactic Available. This guide is intended for players of all experience levels who want to make the most out of the GS class.
The Gunslinger Code
Headshot and headshot only. This is a general rule for KF2, but it's even more important if you want to play Gunslinger well. Not getting headshots as a gunslinger is like not using melee weapons as zerker, or playing survivalist; you just don't do it.
Now you might be thinking, 'But why shouldn't I just play SS if I need to get headshots?' Life lesson my Padawan: Sharpshooter is for babies who want to sit in a corner and be useless until a big zed shows up. Gunslinger is for badasses who want to excel at killing absolutely everything. BUT ONLY IF YOU PLAY IT RIGHT. The Gunslinger's high mobility and high DPS (damage per second) allow him to effectively kill hundreds of trash zeds and still drop a fleshpound in 5 seconds.
Basics
How to headshot (and why it's important)
A.
B. Since GS's primary weapons are pistols, his ammo pool is lower than most other perks. Scoring headshots as often as possible is an effective and necessary method of conserving ammunition.
Practice Makes Perfect
Unfortunately, headshots aren't something you can master just by reading a guide. But I can get you started with tips:
First of all ALWAYS TRY TO HEADSHOT. I don't care if it's crawler, a scrake, or a practically invisible stalker (there is only one zed you should not headshot and that's the husk, shoot his backpack). It will only get easier if you TRY. Plus, this is exactly how GS is effectively played. Headshotting every zed you see keeps the REU damage bonus up, which not only makes missed headshots less punishing, but increases your battle readiness in the event that a big zed shows up, thus making your job easier.
Additionally:
- Memorize where the center of your screen is (i.e. where the bullets will go). Feel free to turn on the crosshair to assist you in this process (and leave it on if you prefer).
- Have a high framerate. If you have to make the game look like it runs on the Nintendo 64 to get 60 fps, do it. You won't be able to headshot with anything less.
- Find your preferred aim sensitivity. Straightforward enough, find a value that's fast but easy to control.
- Memorize the general movements of the zeds. In other words, how they move their heads when running, walking or attacking. For example, the fleshpound moves his head in a side to side motion as he begins to rage. Try to predict where their head will be so you can land that perfect shot.
- Do NOT try to headshot a zed that is not walking towards you because you will probably miss.
- Do NOT ADS (aim down sights) EVER. This is counterintuitive to becoming a good GS. You should be able to headshot without using the sights as it will increase your DPS massively and generally be more convenient.
Your Role
Unlike SS and Firebug, a Gunslinger's role is not restricted to just large or small zeds. A good GS excels at both trash clearing (i.e. normal zeds) and large zed elimination. Make no mistake however, large zeds should be your priority when you see them.
Dealing with big zeds
A number of people have come up with convoluted, 'combos' to quickly kill zeds. In most cases these never actually work out in an real match due to various factors like trash zeds and map design. When a big zed shows up, just remember your training. If you see a fleshpound or scrake approaching, take the following steps:
- Clear trash around him.
- Quickly check behind you to make sure there are no additional enemies. You should also be looking to make sure there is plenty of space to walk backwards (preferably in a straight line).
- Equip your most powerful weapon (Magnums if you have them, if not then Deagles). Also ensure he is walking towards you and not another player.
- Walk backwards while firing at his head.
- When you run out of ammo, switch to Deagles (or reload your magnums if there's enough distance between you and the zed).
- Repeat step 4.
Protip: Jump as a big zed is about to hit you. This will throw you backwards and make it impossible for them to chain additional follow up hits.
Skill Selection
This is your skill selection. Accept no substitutes.
Quick Draw:
Rack em up:
As I've explained, this is GS's most important skill. You can get up to 50% extra damage versus the measly 20% offered by the alternative skill (and why you would want to do extra damage to limbs is beyond me).
Speedloader:
This is the only skill in the GS tree that is optional for experienced GSs. Speedloader reduces your reload time significantly, but can be substituted by animation cancelling (See the 'Animation cancelling' section of this guide).
Skullcracker:
This is a decent bonus since you'll be getting headshots anyway. 30% decreased speed to zeds isn't really enough for you to outrun them, but it can still make the difference between life or death by giving you and your teammates some extra time to deal the killing blow. In any case, there is really no benefit to knocking down zeds as it just makes it more difficult to headshot them.
Fan Fire:
Our final and very useful zed time skill. Naive players may be tempted to choose Whirlwind because INFINITE AMMO, but fail to note that your weapons will still fire in slow motion during zed time. Thus, entering zed time with a full mag gives you more or less the same effect as Whirlwind would. Simply put, you won't be able to fire off enough rounds during zed time for infinite ammo to actually matter.
FAN FIRE not only lets us shoot in real time during zed time but reload in real time as well. This means that given the correct circumstances, we can dump a full magazine into an enemy's head during a single zed time execution (3 seconds) and still be ready and loaded by the time it ends. Note that recoil is greater during zed time with this skill, control your shots.
Protip: If you're stuck in a slow animation during zed time with this skill, swap weapons.
Boss Strategy (Multiplayer)
Your strategy for bosses is.. you guessed it: headshots. Yes this can be a bit more difficult which is why you must pick your shots more carefully.
Hans
Hans is a terrible boss to deal with in general. He is much harder to hit than the Patriarch as he likes to slide around in his annoying suit. You want to have your Magnums out to start with, then take slow but steady shots at his head as soon as you see him. You generally want to be at a middle ground in terms of distance. Too far and you won't be able to land any headshots, too close and he'll probably slice you up with his bayonets. In addition, being closer allows you to take advantage of any openings that may appear. For example, a demo's explosion might knock Hans down, allowing you to run up and pop some rounds in his head. A sharpshooter's freeze nade can also briefly immobilize him.
Once Hans' shield goes up, you'll want to fall back a bit so that he doesn't grab you. Ideally, your team will break his shield before he can drain someone, but if he grabs someone, make sure it isn't you. As soon as Hans grabs another player, you'll want to pull out your Deagles and run right up next to him and start unloading into Hans' head. Combined with your teammates' support fire, this should break his shield almost instantly.
The next time his shield goes up will be a bit more difficult because it can absorb even more damage. You will want to repeat the same general strategy, although you may want to start using the Magnums instead of Deagles to compensate for his stronger shield.
Patriarch
The Patriarch is a piece of cake compared to Hans. He moves much more slowly and often likes to stop and stand in one place for a few seconds. The difference here is that his head can be bit difficult to identify since it's practically in his torso. Just as with Hans, you want to start off with the Magnums and take slow and steady shots at his head. In the event that he turns his back on you, you will not be able to headshot him, so feel free to aim for his glowing green arm which is a weak spot. Again, you want to be at a middleground from him, but this time you want to be sure there's plenty of solid cover. If he catches you in the open with his minigun you're screwed, period.
With a good team, the Patriarch's health should go down very quickly. As soon as his health bar changes color, you want to pull out your Deagles and just unload on him. It's preferable if you hit him in the head or arm, but the point is to maximize your DPS so you can kill him before he runs away and heals. Once again, this will usually only work if the team helps you out. Smart players will try to box him in by surrounding him and blocking his path and this usually buys enough time to kill him before he can escape.
Note that it may be helpful to purchase the M1911s on this final wave for trash killing so that you can conserve the ammo of your more powerful weapons.
Animation Cancelling
Basic animation cancelling
is the second most important skill for a GS to master behind headshotting.
Best Gunslinger Perks Kf2 Download
You may or may not have noticed that when you reload some weapons, the ammo counter will refill before the animation is actually completed. This means that the weapon actually IS reloaded at that point, but how do we shave off those extra seconds of animation? In order to do so, simply hit the bash key (defaults to V) once the counter updates. Note that if you do this too early, you will have to restart the reload, so practice your timing.
Almost all class weapons allow this, but because of their low ammo pool, Gunslingers benefit the most from this technique. Combined with the Speedloader skill, a GS can almost always have a full mag ready because animation cancelling brings his reload time down to a mere 1-2 seconds. Animation cancelling is actually easiest using GS weapons because the weapon is loaded as soon as you hear the first magazine click into place. Use this as a reference point for timing your bash.
Note that an animation cancel will not work on the Magnums using Speedloader (the reload time is the same as the animation).
Advanced animation cancelling
There is, in fact, an even faster way to cancel animations. To do so, press and hold mouse 1 after you start the reload. As soon as the ammo counter updates, hit V (bash). This will skip the bashing animation and immediately fire the weapon.
Best Gunslinger Perks Kf2 1
Protip: Swapping weapons after the counter updates also cancels the animation but leaves the weapon reloaded. Use this to quickly reload all weapons in your inventory.
Weapons Overview
Since the cross perk update, GS gained bonuses with a lot of new weapons. The only weapons you should be using if you want to play seriously however, are the pistols. The following overview covers only these weapons.
9MM
You start with one of these. Reliable fallback, but don't use it as a primary. Do not buy dual 9mms as their minimal damage isn't worth the cost.
1858
You start with these. Many players seem to hate them but they are actually decent on the first wave but will inevitably run out of ammo before it ends. Use these over the single 9mm because they have higher DPS and be sure to make use of animation cancelling to skip the long reload. Sell immediately.
M1911
My least favorite weapon. High fire rate, decent damage, but the recoil acts differently than on other GS pistols, thus making it difficult to control. It's better to upgrade straight to the Deagle.
Deagle
All-rounder and your best friend. The Deagles are every good GS's bread and butter. Good fire rate and great damage allows the Deagle to excel at trash disposal and is quite reliable against tougher enemies too.
500. Magnum
The most powerful handgun in the world GS's arsenal. As you'd expect, they do incredible damage for their pricetag, but reload rather slowly and only hold 5 bullets each at a time. Use only for big zeds.
Nail Bomb
This is your class specific grenade. It can stun things but isn't very reliable at doing that. Use it like a normal grenade and be careful not to stand too close.
Loadout & Buy Order
Some people like to use really strange and expensive loadouts often involving off-perk weapons and other things, but the best loadouts for GS contain nothing but the weapons you will be using the most. By Wave 10, your loadout should contain at minimum the following:
Dual Deagles + Dual Magnums (optionally: + Medic Pistol)
If you're doing things right, you don't need more than this, and anything else you buy is just money wasted that could have gone to your teammates instead (what exactly do you plan on doing with that $600 katana?).
My recommended buy order is the following (assuming 7-10 wave matches):
- Single Deagle
- Dual Deagles
- Dual Deagles + Single 500 Magnum
- Dual Deagles + Dual 500 Magnums
- Dual Deagles + Dual 500 Magnums + Dual M1911s (Boss Wave Only)
Your first purchase is the Deagle as it does excellent damage for its price. By the 3rd wave you should already have Dual Deagles. After this you want the 500 Magnums, again buying only one at a time. I recommend that you try to avoid using it until you have two of them. By wave 7-8 you should have finalized your loadout with Dual Deagles + Dual Magnums.

Hey yo what's up guys I'm TheRoyalLong. In this video, I will be presenting to you guys the second installment of my guide to the berserker class, where I will be providing an extensive tutorial to the variety of weapons the berserker carries within the Killing Floor 2 universe.
Keep in mind that the game is still in its alpha stages and that there may be other weapons coming out into the game eventually, so when the time comes, an updated video will be posted again. So to start off, here is the current arsenal available to the berserker class.
9mm Pistol
Lawn-Mower Blade
EMP Grenade
Crovel Survival Tool
VLAD-1000 Nailgun
Zweihander
Pulverizer
Eviscerator
So to start off, The Berserker's basic tools include the 9mm Pistol, a Lawn-Mower Blade, 2 EMP Grenades & the Crovel Survival Tool. These are Tier 1 weapons which are available to anyone who starts off as the Berserker class within the game.
Tier 1 Weapons
1.1. 9MM PISTOL
The 9mm Pistol is a weapon available to all classes, and as a berserker, shouldn't be relied on unless you intend to use it for farming XP, but since the berserker is always so up close and personal with the zeds, there shouldn't be any scenario where you take out your 9mm pistol.
1.2. LAWN MOWER BLADE
Moving on to Berserker proper, we have the Lawn Mower Blade.
This is the default melee weapon that every berserker starts off with, which cannot be sold off. The lawn mower blade is extremely effective at clearing off waves 1 – 5 before any lethal threats arrive, such as the Scrake, and the Fleshpounds. The strengths of the lawn mower blade are simply that it has the fastest attack speed and that it can clear waves and waves of zeds both effectively and swiftly. The weapon itself consists of a light attack, heavy attack, a melee bash attack and a block function. The light attack allows the Berserker to quickly clear waves of zeds quickly, together with the option of controlling the direction which the weapon swings in, while the heavy attack allows the Berserker to take off much more tanky zeds such as the Siren and the Husk from waves 1 – 5. The melee bash, however is where the weapon shines as it lets out a shiv, and allows you to unleash an extremely swift attack, and also stuns the zed should you not be able to kill them. It is also very consistent in terms of where it hits, so if hits that adjust with your movement aren't your thing, then the melee bash should be perfect for you too.

1.3. CROVEL SURVIVAL TOOL
Then, we have the Crovel Survival Tool.
This weapon is also a default weapon a berserker starts with. The Crovel is a quick and versatile melee weapon, capable of dealing both Slashing and Blunt damage. It's primary fire is a fast slash attack, and can be held for a Combo attack. A secondary fire is a heavy blunt attack while Alt fire gives a block and parry. A light swing will decapitate any basic enemy (Clots, Cysts, Stalkers, Gorefast). A light swing will not kill a Crawler in one swing to the body, as they have a 50% resistance to slashing (0.5x damage modifier). However, the standard (stationary/moving forward) heavy attack not only does more than enough Blunt damage to kill a Crawler, it is also very good at catching them mid-leap. The Crovel is also better at taking down husks and sirens compared to the Lawn Mower Blade due to its naturally higher damage. Despite its favorable handling, the Crovel deals low damage and lacks a reliable stun, and should be replaced with the Pulverizer by the time Scrakes spawn.
1.4. EMP GRENADE
Next up, we have the EMP Grenade.
It is often underestimated and should not be taken lightly because of its use as a utility. In later stages of the game, notably waves 6 – 10 (Excluding Hans Volter/The Patriach), the EMP grenade can be thrown by the Berserker to release a stun that negates all the abilities of every zed.
It should however, only be used on the larger zeds, such as the scrake & the fleshpound due to the threat they possess to the squad. When used on the Scrake, it can temporarily disrupt the Scrakes from sprinting, no matter the situation, whereby they have either already been raged, or have yet to be touched by the squad. Its use as a utility can also be team-friendly as it can be combo'd with a Gunslinger or a Commando by which the moment the scrake is EMP'd, the Gunslinger or the Commando can unleash a flurry of bullets to its head. and can then be decapped easily by Commandos or gunslingers.
A fleshpound however, is far trickier than the scrake simply because of its innate ability to rage without even being shot by the team. With the EMP grenade, it is advisable to use it right as your team shoots it, simply stop it from going into rage mode. When timed correctly, the emp grenade can easily prevent groups of fleshpounds from raging at the same time, allowing you to pick a duel with a single fleshpound without raging the others, protecting both your team and yourself.The EMP grenade can thus be dubbed as a situation resetter, by which it allows you to reset the entire scenario from complete utter chaos, into a more calm and relaxed battlefield.
Best Gunslinger Perks Kf2 2017
Tier 2 Weapons
2.1. VLAD-1000 Nailgun
Next, we move on to the only tier 2 weapon, the VLAD-1000 Nailgun. Although not regularly used by berserkers of a higher skill level, the nailgun is still effective in its own right and can be picked up by newer players as it can be used to prevent hordes of zeds from being pushed up into the room the squad is holding. The primary fire of the nailgun shoots out nails in numerals of either 1 or 7, while the secondary fire allows you to aim down your ironsight. The Alt fire can be used to toggle between the single firing mode and the 'shotgun' mode. In single-fire mode, the nailgun can be used as a head-popper, allowing the Berserker to pick off Bloats standing behind a large group of zeds, or other smaller, but lethal zeds such as the Sirens and Husks. In its shotgun mode, the nailgun will fire a cluster of 7 nails per shot. This gives the nailgun 6 rounds of shotgun shells. The nails fired have built-in penetration, being able to deal full damage to 2 zeds and reduced damage on the third. This allows Berserkers to quickly clear crowds of weak enemies. The nailgun has very low accuracy, especially in shotgun mode, having a spread similar to the double-barrel shotgun. It is also not consistent, where the shots are often not evenly distributed, making it unpredictable and hard to connect your shots. It should also be duly noted that the nailgun can incap all the lesser zeds, preventing them from using their abilities. This gives the berserker a means to provide some form of crowd control.
Tier 3 Weapons
3.1 Zweihander
The Zweihander was an extremely powerful weapon, but was hit by the nerf bat. Let's first have a look at its attacks. It's primary fire is a fast swing that does slashing damage, and when held down, can perform a 3-swing combo attack. It's secondary fire is a slower, but stronger swing that does slashing damage as well. Before the nerf, the zweihander was able to kill a SC in 5 headshots as Smash gave hard hits an additional 100% damage increase. The melee bash, which is a forward thrust of the Zweihander, does piercing damage, and was able to penetrate multiple zeds, killing them all by spinning the mouse around during the attack animation. However, the Zweihander has been nerfed pretty badly, as Smash now gives only a 25% damage increase, and the melee bash can no longer penetrate the smaller zeds to kill multiple at once. This means that as of now, the Zweihander lacks the ability to clear trash zeds quickly and does not have enough utility to justify using it for fighting large zeds. As such, I would strongly suggest refraining from using this weapon.
3.2 The Pulverizer
Since the nerf of the ZH, the pulverizer has turned into the bread and butter weapon of the berserker. It's primary fire is a fast swing that does bludgeon damage, and when held down, can perform a 3-swing combo attack similar to the ZH. It's secondary fire is what makes the pulverizer a unique weapon. It does explosive damage at an arc of 180 degrees from your view on contact with an enemy on top of the hard, bludgeon attack that is inflicted, damaging enemies that are nearby and infront of you. As such, the secondary fire is an extremely powerful attack. However, the explosive shots are limited to the amount of ammo you have on the pulverizer. It's melee bash can be used to knockdown SCs and FPs if you hit them on the head.
Fighting FPs is where the pulverizer really shines as FPs are weak against explosive damage, making the pulverizer's secondary fire very powerful against them. While going against a 6-man HoE fleshpound, it takes 9 hits to take one down. One tip is when you run out of explosive shells and need to reload, always check that the FP is not raged. If it is, do a parry or block to get it out of rage and then reload your weapon, this ensures that you do not take damage while reloading.
Scrakes on the other hand, are resistant to explosive damage. As such, it is recommended that you do not reload the pulverizer after emptying your initial explosive shells, and use your secondary fire to hit the scrake on the head, aiming for knockdowns. The explosive shells can be used to stun the scrakes. Parrying the SC is actually quite easy, and I suggest practicing your parrying against them, as you only take 10% of full damage + you stun the scrake for a split second.
Bear in mind that the pulverizer can carry a maximum of 35 explosive shells, so use them sparingly unless absolutely necessary.
Tier 4 Weapon
4. The Eviscerator
Last but not least, we have the eviscerator. The eviscerator is a chainsaw with two functions, differentiated by its primary and alternate attacks. Its primary fire allows you to shoot out a buzzsaw that deals massive damage to the target. What is unique about this weapon is that you can recover the blades that you shoot. It's secondary fire turns the eviscerator into a chainsaw which is effective at clearing smaller zeds. However, due to its tendency to easily chew up a third of your fuel to kill a fleshpound, it should be used sparingly. Furthermore, the disappearing ammo and off-centre shot firing makes the eviscerator a sub-par weapon, outshining the pulveriser only in terms of its rate of fire. It is also a lot less cost-efficient and ineffective as a weapon to clear out larger zeds as oftentimes you would use up a majority of your ammo before the wave even ends. It is therefore not advisable to pick up the eviscerator as a primary weapon of choice for the Berserker due to these drawbacks. It can however be picked up if there is a need to clear out smaller zeds, similar to the nailgun.
B. Since GS's primary weapons are pistols, his ammo pool is lower than most other perks. Scoring headshots as often as possible is an effective and necessary method of conserving ammunition.
Practice Makes Perfect
Unfortunately, headshots aren't something you can master just by reading a guide. But I can get you started with tips:
First of all ALWAYS TRY TO HEADSHOT. I don't care if it's crawler, a scrake, or a practically invisible stalker (there is only one zed you should not headshot and that's the husk, shoot his backpack). It will only get easier if you TRY.

Headshotting every zed you see keeps the REU damage bonus up, which not only makes missed headshots less punishing, but increases your battle readiness in the event that a big zed shows up, thus making your job easier.

- Equip your most powerful weapon (Magnums if you have them, if not then Deagles). Also ensure he is walking towards you and not another player.
- Walk backwards while firing at his head.
- When you run out of ammo, switch to Deagles (or reload your magnums if there's enough distance between you and the zed).
- Repeat step 4.
Protip: Jump as a big zed is about to hit you. This will throw you backwards and make it impossible for them to chain additional follow up hits.

Boss Strategy (Multiplayer)
Your strategy for bosses is.. you guessed it: headshots. Yes this can be a bit more difficult which is why you must pick your shots more carefully.

Again, you want to be at a middleground from him, but this time you want to be sure there's plenty of solid cover. If he catches you in the open with his minigun you're screwed, period.
With a good team, the Patriarch's health should go down very quickly. As soon as his health bar changes color, you want to pull out your Deagles and just unload on him. It's preferable if you hit him in the head or arm, but the point is to maximize your DPS so you can kill him before he runs away and heals. Once again, this will usually only work if the team helps you out. Smart players will try to box him in by surrounding him and blocking his path and this usually buys enough time to kill him before he can escape.
Note that it may be helpful to purchase the M1911s on this final wave for trash killing so that you can conserve the ammo of your more powerful weapons.
Animation Cancelling
Basic animation cancelling
is the second most important skill for a GS to master behind headshotting.

You may or may not have noticed that when you reload some weapons, the ammo counter will refill before the animation is actually completed. This means that the weapon actually IS reloaded at that point, but how do we shave off those extra seconds of animation? In order to do so, simply hit the bash key (defaults to V) once the counter updates. Note that if you do this too early, you will have to restart the reload, so practice your timing.
Almost all class weapons allow this, but because of their low ammo pool, Gunslingers benefit the most from this technique. Combined with the Speedloader skill, a GS can almost always have a full mag ready because animation cancelling brings his reload time down to a mere 1-2 seconds. Animation cancelling is actually easiest using GS weapons because the weapon is loaded as soon as you hear the first magazine click into place. Use this as a reference point for timing your bash.
Note that an animation cancel will not work on the Magnums using Speedloader (the reload time is the same as the animation).
Advanced animation cancelling
There is, in fact, an even faster way to cancel animations. To do so, press and hold mouse 1 after you start the reload. As soon as the ammo counter updates, hit V (bash). This will skip the bashing animation and immediately fire the weapon.

Protip: Swapping weapons after the counter updates also cancels the animation but leaves the weapon reloaded. Use this to quickly reload all weapons in your inventory.
Weapons Overview
Since the cross perk update, GS gained bonuses with a lot of new weapons. The only weapons you should be using if you want to play seriously however, are the pistols. The following overview covers only these weapons.
9MM
You start with one of these. Reliable fallback, but don't use it as a primary. Do not buy dual 9mms as their minimal damage isn't worth the cost.
1858
You start with these. Many players seem to hate them but they are actually decent on the first wave but will inevitably run out of ammo before it ends. Use these over the single 9mm because they have higher DPS and be sure to make use of animation cancelling to skip the long reload. Sell immediately.
M1911
My least favorite weapon. High fire rate, decent damage, but the recoil acts differently than on other GS pistols, thus making it difficult to control. It's better to upgrade straight to the Deagle.
Deagle
All-rounder and your best friend. The Deagles are every good GS's bread and butter. Good fire rate and great damage allows the Deagle to excel at trash disposal and is quite reliable against tougher enemies too.
500. Magnum
The most powerful handgun in the world GS's arsenal. As you'd expect, they do incredible damage for their pricetag, but reload rather slowly and only hold 5 bullets each at a time. Use only for big zeds.
Nail Bomb
This is your class specific grenade. It can stun things but isn't very reliable at doing that. Use it like a normal grenade and be careful not to stand too close.
Loadout & Buy Order
Some people like to use really strange and expensive loadouts often involving off-perk weapons and other things, but the best loadouts for GS contain nothing but the weapons you will be using the most. By Wave 10, your loadout should contain at minimum the following:
Dual Deagles + Dual Magnums (optionally: + Medic Pistol)
If you're doing things right, you don't need more than this, and anything else you buy is just money wasted that could have gone to your teammates instead (what exactly do you plan on doing with that $600 katana?).
My recommended buy order is the following (assuming 7-10 wave matches):
- Single Deagle
- Dual Deagles
- Dual Deagles + Single 500 Magnum
- Dual Deagles + Dual 500 Magnums
- Dual Deagles + Dual 500 Magnums + Dual M1911s (Boss Wave Only)
Your first purchase is the Deagle as it does excellent damage for its price. By the 3rd wave you should already have Dual Deagles. After this you want the 500 Magnums, again buying only one at a time. I recommend that you try to avoid using it until you have two of them. By wave 7-8 you should have finalized your loadout with Dual Deagles + Dual Magnums.

Hey yo what's up guys I'm TheRoyalLong. In this video, I will be presenting to you guys the second installment of my guide to the berserker class, where I will be providing an extensive tutorial to the variety of weapons the berserker carries within the Killing Floor 2 universe.
Keep in mind that the game is still in its alpha stages and that there may be other weapons coming out into the game eventually, so when the time comes, an updated video will be posted again. So to start off, here is the current arsenal available to the berserker class.
9mm Pistol
Lawn-Mower Blade
EMP Grenade
Crovel Survival Tool
VLAD-1000 Nailgun
Zweihander
Pulverizer
Eviscerator
So to start off, The Berserker's basic tools include the 9mm Pistol, a Lawn-Mower Blade, 2 EMP Grenades & the Crovel Survival Tool. These are Tier 1 weapons which are available to anyone who starts off as the Berserker class within the game.
Tier 1 Weapons
1.1. 9MM PISTOL
The 9mm Pistol is a weapon available to all classes, and as a berserker, shouldn't be relied on unless you intend to use it for farming XP, but since the berserker is always so up close and personal with the zeds, there shouldn't be any scenario where you take out your 9mm pistol.
1.2. LAWN MOWER BLADE
I manage to edit my hairstyle through.player file. For anyone with the same problem or if you just want to change your character's appearance: 1. Go to your Starbound folder (Steam: C: Steam steamapps common Starbound) - storage - player 2. There you should be able to find.player file(s). One file for each character you've created. Aug 06, 2016 If the one and only reason you're doing it is to change hairstyle - there used to be a program back in the earlier versions of Starbound that let you edit your characters appearance. It would just take the player file and edit the appearance right in it without needing to run any mods.
Moving on to Berserker proper, we have the Lawn Mower Blade.
This is the default melee weapon that every berserker starts off with, which cannot be sold off. The lawn mower blade is extremely effective at clearing off waves 1 – 5 before any lethal threats arrive, such as the Scrake, and the Fleshpounds. The strengths of the lawn mower blade are simply that it has the fastest attack speed and that it can clear waves and waves of zeds both effectively and swiftly. The weapon itself consists of a light attack, heavy attack, a melee bash attack and a block function. The light attack allows the Berserker to quickly clear waves of zeds quickly, together with the option of controlling the direction which the weapon swings in, while the heavy attack allows the Berserker to take off much more tanky zeds such as the Siren and the Husk from waves 1 – 5. The melee bash, however is where the weapon shines as it lets out a shiv, and allows you to unleash an extremely swift attack, and also stuns the zed should you not be able to kill them. It is also very consistent in terms of where it hits, so if hits that adjust with your movement aren't your thing, then the melee bash should be perfect for you too.

1.3. CROVEL SURVIVAL TOOL
Then, we have the Crovel Survival Tool.
This weapon is also a default weapon a berserker starts with. The Crovel is a quick and versatile melee weapon, capable of dealing both Slashing and Blunt damage. It's primary fire is a fast slash attack, and can be held for a Combo attack. A secondary fire is a heavy blunt attack while Alt fire gives a block and parry. A light swing will decapitate any basic enemy (Clots, Cysts, Stalkers, Gorefast). A light swing will not kill a Crawler in one swing to the body, as they have a 50% resistance to slashing (0.5x damage modifier). However, the standard (stationary/moving forward) heavy attack not only does more than enough Blunt damage to kill a Crawler, it is also very good at catching them mid-leap. The Crovel is also better at taking down husks and sirens compared to the Lawn Mower Blade due to its naturally higher damage. Despite its favorable handling, the Crovel deals low damage and lacks a reliable stun, and should be replaced with the Pulverizer by the time Scrakes spawn.
1.4. EMP GRENADE
Next up, we have the EMP Grenade.
It is often underestimated and should not be taken lightly because of its use as a utility. In later stages of the game, notably waves 6 – 10 (Excluding Hans Volter/The Patriach), the EMP grenade can be thrown by the Berserker to release a stun that negates all the abilities of every zed.
It should however, only be used on the larger zeds, such as the scrake & the fleshpound due to the threat they possess to the squad. When used on the Scrake, it can temporarily disrupt the Scrakes from sprinting, no matter the situation, whereby they have either already been raged, or have yet to be touched by the squad. Its use as a utility can also be team-friendly as it can be combo'd with a Gunslinger or a Commando by which the moment the scrake is EMP'd, the Gunslinger or the Commando can unleash a flurry of bullets to its head. and can then be decapped easily by Commandos or gunslingers.
A fleshpound however, is far trickier than the scrake simply because of its innate ability to rage without even being shot by the team. With the EMP grenade, it is advisable to use it right as your team shoots it, simply stop it from going into rage mode. When timed correctly, the emp grenade can easily prevent groups of fleshpounds from raging at the same time, allowing you to pick a duel with a single fleshpound without raging the others, protecting both your team and yourself.The EMP grenade can thus be dubbed as a situation resetter, by which it allows you to reset the entire scenario from complete utter chaos, into a more calm and relaxed battlefield.

Tier 2 Weapons
2.1. VLAD-1000 Nailgun
Next, we move on to the only tier 2 weapon, the VLAD-1000 Nailgun. Although not regularly used by berserkers of a higher skill level, the nailgun is still effective in its own right and can be picked up by newer players as it can be used to prevent hordes of zeds from being pushed up into the room the squad is holding. The primary fire of the nailgun shoots out nails in numerals of either 1 or 7, while the secondary fire allows you to aim down your ironsight. The Alt fire can be used to toggle between the single firing mode and the 'shotgun' mode. In single-fire mode, the nailgun can be used as a head-popper, allowing the Berserker to pick off Bloats standing behind a large group of zeds, or other smaller, but lethal zeds such as the Sirens and Husks. In its shotgun mode, the nailgun will fire a cluster of 7 nails per shot. This gives the nailgun 6 rounds of shotgun shells. The nails fired have built-in penetration, being able to deal full damage to 2 zeds and reduced damage on the third. This allows Berserkers to quickly clear crowds of weak enemies. The nailgun has very low accuracy, especially in shotgun mode, having a spread similar to the double-barrel shotgun. It is also not consistent, where the shots are often not evenly distributed, making it unpredictable and hard to connect your shots. It should also be duly noted that the nailgun can incap all the lesser zeds, preventing them from using their abilities. This gives the berserker a means to provide some form of crowd control.
Tier 3 Weapons
3.1 Zweihander
The Zweihander was an extremely powerful weapon, but was hit by the nerf bat. Let's first have a look at its attacks. It's primary fire is a fast swing that does slashing damage, and when held down, can perform a 3-swing combo attack. It's secondary fire is a slower, but stronger swing that does slashing damage as well. Before the nerf, the zweihander was able to kill a SC in 5 headshots as Smash gave hard hits an additional 100% damage increase. The melee bash, which is a forward thrust of the Zweihander, does piercing damage, and was able to penetrate multiple zeds, killing them all by spinning the mouse around during the attack animation. However, the Zweihander has been nerfed pretty badly, as Smash now gives only a 25% damage increase, and the melee bash can no longer penetrate the smaller zeds to kill multiple at once. This means that as of now, the Zweihander lacks the ability to clear trash zeds quickly and does not have enough utility to justify using it for fighting large zeds. As such, I would strongly suggest refraining from using this weapon.
3.2 The Pulverizer
Since the nerf of the ZH, the pulverizer has turned into the bread and butter weapon of the berserker. It's primary fire is a fast swing that does bludgeon damage, and when held down, can perform a 3-swing combo attack similar to the ZH. It's secondary fire is what makes the pulverizer a unique weapon. It does explosive damage at an arc of 180 degrees from your view on contact with an enemy on top of the hard, bludgeon attack that is inflicted, damaging enemies that are nearby and infront of you. As such, the secondary fire is an extremely powerful attack. However, the explosive shots are limited to the amount of ammo you have on the pulverizer. It's melee bash can be used to knockdown SCs and FPs if you hit them on the head.
Fighting FPs is where the pulverizer really shines as FPs are weak against explosive damage, making the pulverizer's secondary fire very powerful against them. While going against a 6-man HoE fleshpound, it takes 9 hits to take one down. One tip is when you run out of explosive shells and need to reload, always check that the FP is not raged. If it is, do a parry or block to get it out of rage and then reload your weapon, this ensures that you do not take damage while reloading.
Scrakes on the other hand, are resistant to explosive damage. As such, it is recommended that you do not reload the pulverizer after emptying your initial explosive shells, and use your secondary fire to hit the scrake on the head, aiming for knockdowns. The explosive shells can be used to stun the scrakes. Parrying the SC is actually quite easy, and I suggest practicing your parrying against them, as you only take 10% of full damage + you stun the scrake for a split second.
Bear in mind that the pulverizer can carry a maximum of 35 explosive shells, so use them sparingly unless absolutely necessary.
Tier 4 Weapon
4. The Eviscerator
Last but not least, we have the eviscerator. The eviscerator is a chainsaw with two functions, differentiated by its primary and alternate attacks. Its primary fire allows you to shoot out a buzzsaw that deals massive damage to the target. What is unique about this weapon is that you can recover the blades that you shoot. It's secondary fire turns the eviscerator into a chainsaw which is effective at clearing smaller zeds. However, due to its tendency to easily chew up a third of your fuel to kill a fleshpound, it should be used sparingly. Furthermore, the disappearing ammo and off-centre shot firing makes the eviscerator a sub-par weapon, outshining the pulveriser only in terms of its rate of fire. It is also a lot less cost-efficient and ineffective as a weapon to clear out larger zeds as oftentimes you would use up a majority of your ammo before the wave even ends. It is therefore not advisable to pick up the eviscerator as a primary weapon of choice for the Berserker due to these drawbacks. It can however be picked up if there is a need to clear out smaller zeds, similar to the nailgun.

Best Gunslinger Perks Kf2 Mods
Because the berserker's weapon are relatively cheap and that the default weapons are extremely lethal against smaller zeds, it is advisable that the berserker share their dosh with the rest of the squad members who need it before wave 5 to pick up key weapons such as the medic's assault rifle, the demo's RPG, and others.
