I've just got this game and I'm really not sure what I'm doing, or how to find goons to probably berate me for being terrible. Is there any reference material or basic tutorials I should look at to not be awful?

Is there any reference material or basic tutorials I should look at to not be awful? As far as easy maps for new players go, West London is a decent one. Think of it as a square, with a trader located at each corner. Also, keep in mind that your class levels will rise based on your actions, not what class you pick. For instance, a Firebug who heals teammates using the syringe will gain Medic experience.

Is there any reference material or basic tutorials I should look at to not be awful? 1. Stick with the team. 2. Buy guns that work with your perk. Ie buy assault rifles if you're Commando. 3. Fleshpounds (glowy guys) are weak to explosives. 4. The Lever Action Rifle is your best friend. 5. Don't worry too much about playing "optimized" builds from the start. Beginner and Normal are easy enough that you can experiment and do just fine as long as you have at least one on-perk weapon. Its only in the last two difficulties that you're restricted somewhat. 6. Go for headshots whenever you can. They'll wreck enemies very fast. 7. In the server browser, find the difficulty selector and choose either Beginner or Normal. By default, the browser is set to go to any difficulty, which means you can easily end up in a ridiculously hard difficulty. 8. Pubbies are dumber than usual because of the influx of idiots that came thanks to the current sale. If you're constantly getting wiped and not having fun, stop playing for a bit and wait until either the sale is done or almost done. That's usually enough time for terrible teammates to drop the game for good.

closeted republican posted:1. Stick with the team. That's all pretty good advice, some of which I've already been doing. It's nice to know I'm not inherently terrible. Didn't know about the Fleshpounds explosives weakness though, I'll have to keep that in mind. The lever Action Rifle is so far my favorite gun, although is their anything I should think about switching it to at any point?

If you hit them in the head, it can usually insta-kill most enemies. At higher levels you can take down most Fleshpounds with one bolt. Try to get a crossbow around wave 5.

Sharpshooter has lots of very versatile combos. M14/LAR is my personal favorite and can easily take down anything the game throws at you as long as you don't get unlucky, but depending on lag and assorted scrake hitbox bugs you can get thrown off kind of easy. Crossbow, Mk.23, and even offperk stuff like shotguns/assault rifles can be surprisingly effective.

Granted, you need level 6 Support for it. But when I can, I like carry a Mac10 for sirens and husks. A hunting shotgun for crowds and big damage, and the crossbow for softening up Scrakes and Fleshpounds with a headshot or two before unloading both barrels into them to take them down. The Mac10 or an MK23s are a great weapon to just carry around for thinning out small fry if you're a beserker and need something to pick off things at range. a Demo that needs to kill stuff up close, or a commando that needs to conserve your Assault rifle ammo for things other than crawlers, clots and gorefasts.

Don't forget to change the graphic options to use the 2D crossbow scope instead of the 3D one, it's a lot better.

I'm having a weird issue with my keyboard in KF, where pressing the @ key brings up the console no matter what the occasion, even when I'm typing in chat. I'm using a UK keyboard layout which looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_United_Kingdom.svg. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

So turning on 3rd Person View is considered a "cheat" for single player, hence blocking Perk progress?

The Crossbow and Handcannon are also good choices for a Sharpshooter. A Crossbow headshot is pretty much a death sentence for anything weaker than a Fleshpound, while the Handcannon has enough power to quickly decap enemies like the Husk and Siren and can wipe the floor with trash. I usually run those two weapons, mostly to save pubbies from being wiped by Scrakes. You can also replace the Handcannon with a .44 Revolver and MK23, but I really haven't tried that one.

I had this issue too and it's bloody annoying. go to Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\System\ and open a file called User.ini. Go down the list until you see Tilde=ConsoleToggle, delete the ConsoleToggle part, or cut it and paste it onto a different key on the keyboard, I'm using F2.

Instead of playing Hard like usual, I'm helping newbies in Normal as a Medic and it's really fun. Helping guide people like level 0 Berserkers, a level 0 Demo without an explosive weapon and a level 2 Commando to victory by constantly healing them, tanking Scrakes/Fleshpounds and giving them money to buy good weapons is fun and challenging. I managed to help a team win Suburbs even though they constantly picked bad spots to hole up in, which was very satisfying.  If you're getting pissed off at the level 0 to 2 newbies popping up in Hard, Suicidal and HoE, give it a shot. At minimum, you'll get a shitload of healing points for leveling up Medic.

So I reorganized my house and am going to jump back into the fray of this game. One issue I seem to be having, is that I can't select a class. Could this have been a rnadom server that I joined or do I need to check a setting or something? Been too long. Can't wait to kill some zeds again. Disregard. Got that part to work. Are the servers down? Does anyone still play this? Inside Out Mom fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Jan 11, 2013 |

What servers does everyone play on? The ones in the OP seem dead now. I realize the bulk of the people have moved on but I'm looking for people that know how to play and won't go sharpshooter and just run off into the fog to die. I'm lvl 4 with support and medic and close to 4 with a few, so I'm about to move up to hard mode. This is me if you want to play some KF. http://steamcommunity.com/id/znorps/

When that happens there's a significant chance that they have been granted infinite grenades. It's sort of hilarious. (esp if they are firebug and immune to their own nades)

Hey, does anyone know if the weapons that are kind of between perks help level up both? Like, does the trenchgun also count towards shotgun damage/ get the benefits of playing support? I already know that the M4 M203 doesn't count towards stalker kills which sucks because I used it for dozens of games before I realized. Also, I've always enjoyed helping out new players here and I'm compiling a guide to post that gives basic tips and advice for each perk but the problem is I don't actually play as berzerker or firebug that often (it's kind of telling that I'm still berzerker lvl 0 while every other perk is at least lvl 4). Any veteran firebug/berzerkers got solid advice for newbies that I could put in?

The store has the perk icons next to weapons that level your perk. The store is also sorted with your perk's weapons at at the top, at least in games I've played.

Any veteran firebug/berzerkers got solid advice for newbies that I could put in? It's a bit out of date, but the 2nd post has exactly that. With the new firebug weapons, I'd say that zerker is now one of the most specialized/map dependant classes. On higher difficulties you just can't soak the damage the zeds are putting out, so unless it's a wide open map like farm or mountainpass where you can run away from everything zerker will be tough. For newbies just starting out just tell them to grab a katana and stick close to the medic

There should be an option to turn off film grain. If it isn't under video, look under game or something. Bottom line, it is in there somewhere.

I play a few times a week. I have a hard time sorting through the goon group on Steam. Everyone in it is playing something else. I'm still playing on Normal mode though, I have a few classes that are still level 2.
