leveling zerker class faster...

[utadahikaruy3k]

i have been playing singleplayer mode to grind with clot mutator for sharpy & bloat mutator for other classes and so far got support, sharpy, & firebug to lvl 5 all in a week(playing up to 5hrs of kf per day)...

so far im lvl zerker right now & its taking forever from lvl4 to lvl5...
bloat mutator is difficult(still a pain in the rear-end even in normal) coz they shred your health & armor pretty fast..
clot suicidal is easier to do, but inefficient coz of them having low health..
FP beginner is ok, but becomes difficult once you get surrounded.. pretty much game over if you got surrounded cozz there's no one to heal you..


so i played in an easy-FP server & i met someone telling me that using a weaker melee weapon or any weak weapons helps you lvl faster coz they kill zeds slower..

he told me that katanas & chainsaws will lvl my zerker slower coz they will kill fp's faster.. while using a knife or machete will help me lvl faster...


so can anyone clarify this to me..

and also tips on whats the best way to lvl zerker faster...

I think berserker is the easiest to level...
It was my first level 5, then 6.

My key is... don't think about it.
I throw myself in front of everything to protect my team mates, and in return, I get a lot of kills and damage.

Play on hard or suicidal. Zeds have more life there.

You think a player, that´s only after leveling up can actually survive suicidal He will be dead by wave 3.

I discovered a good way to level a zerker fast actually, but it's kinda lame

I don't really want to say on here in public because we don't need more people playing suicidal with rushed perked chars and not having a clue how to play the game

I just use bloat-ed mutator on suicidal... at level 5 a single knife swing to the head will explode them for an instant 1k damage... oh and for the health being shredded part here is a tip: BACKPEDAL. I usually go in for one swing and then backpedal away from any vomit (very important on suicidal since they only occasionally stand still to puke)

Oh and about the weaker weapons thing... that is crap because if it kills the zed slower it means that it is taking longer to do the same damage (zeds health does not regen or increase after time) for example if a clot only has 100 health and one swing of a katana did 100 damage and a knife swing only did 20 damage (made up numbers) by the time the clot dies the they will have done the same damage, but the katana will have been able to do more damage in the same amount of time as it takes for the knife to kill something.

I never believe anyone who says theyve leveled berserker by playing boated suicidal. 2 pukes without healing and youre done. As the melee guy, youre NOT going to get away chopping on bloats for any length of time, especially on suicidal where bloats move pretty much as fast as clots do on normal.

So ya, proof or it doesnt happen.

Im not saying its impossible, Im saying it is HIGHLY inefficient and the success rate must be especially low.

Its really really easy once you get to know the length of the melee weapons and know when to go in for a kill and to backpedal to safty very quickly, and tbf i dont care if you believe if i can do it easily or not because ive already leveled my berserker from level 3-5 using solo suicidal bloat-ed

How about this minor detail:

The bloats move in groups. You cannot avoid being puked on when there are multiple bloats together and it is especially hard to separate them since they all essentially move in a straight line toward you.

So yeah, dont take it personally because Ive seen multiple people say to use this method and I call BULL♥♥♥♥.

Proof please.

Downloaded free trial of fraps. It killed my fps so i dont do very well, only recorded 30secs at a time and is terrible quality, but it shows the basic way of solo suicidal bloat-ed berserker play.

[utadahikaruy3k]

thnx for the reply guys.... it definitely cleared some things for me, especially the low weapon damage question i have...


anyways, which method is an efficient way of grinding for damage: Fleshpound-easy or Bloated-suicidal???

Bloat-ed suicidal. about 50-60k damage per wave where FP easy gives alot less (i think it was somewhere around 5-10k damage when i last did it)

Thank you for going to the trouble.

I stand corrected.

Pro tip: Play the ♥♥♥♥ing game the way it was meant to be played, then I don't have to deal with a level 6 perk farmer on suicidal.

Seriously, finishing off the waves by myself is getting tiring.

bloats on suicidal is a very good way of leveling ur sharpshooter when you get the m14 it 1hits then if you do a headshot and that is easy with the laser

bloats on suicidal is good for leveling:

Sharpshooter (at a certain point the 9mm with onehit kill on headshot, and using other zeds will cause you to have a lot less misses without killing them)

Firebug

Demo (if you kite them into large groups (ive once killed 20 of them in one shot))

Berserker (once you get used to playing as a berserker in KF, and not just hack and slash)

Support's damage (line them up for nice amounts of damage per shot, after level 3 you should be able to complete entire waves just with shotguns)

Commando's damage (why the hell you need to damage.... itsnt there still thousands of stalkers you gotta kill?)

pretty much most of the perks benefit from suicidal bloats, but remember: If you grind, make sure to solo a few hard/suicidal maps without mutators just to keep your skills up and to not be a failtard joining suicidal maps (because your level 6 and 1337) or join normal and beginner maps (because you realised you suck)
