As a level 5 firebug...

The Husk cannon is the only new weapon I don't enjoy. It just doesn't damage enemies fast enough. Maybe in later waves it does better damage to scrakes and fleshpounds? But even then, you're only left with a MAC-10 or a weapon you're not as good with. Other than that, you don't kill trash nearly as fast enough with the husk cannon, whereas a flamethrower will just rake in the kills and damage. Maybe if they adjusted weights so you could have both the flamethrower AND the husk cannon...that'd be fine. But the Husk cannon as a primary weapon? Yeuch. :(

Not crazy about the Husk gun. Doesnt really have enough power to justify the high cost. Charging it up for a powerful shot takes forever. The only thing I like about it is that it has a pretty gun chance of stunning scrakes, but its justway too expensive.

Agreed

I'm not going to try it until tomorrow, but is there much difficulty killing husks with the husk gun (considering their resistance to fire, and damage itself seems lackluster)? Any recommended levels or tactics (preferably solo)?

Support level 6 starting with the hunting shotgun is lovely at the other hand

I'd have to disagree. I really hope they change it to the Combat Shotgun at level 6. It's a lot more practical on the first wave than the cruddy hunting shotty, which is only useful for double barrel blasts on large groups of enemies, or endgame specimens. Plus, it'd sell for a lot better after Wave 1 (560ish rather than HS's 160ish).

Thank god for the Steam Achievements manager program especially for the more obnoxious requirements.

Please don't encourage people to use it. While I've used it twice (once with major cheating, once with minor), I still feel bad. Plus, people who get to high levels immediately

-Won't be a big help to the team as they don't know how to work around the intricacies of KF
-Will find the game boring because there's nothing to grow to.

I'm sure I could've grinded as high as I am to berserker (mid level 4) in KF-survival or other methods like that. But actually having played both solo and MP with Berserker, I understand it (and appreciate it) a lot more than I would have.

Just play the damned game, folks. :arghfist:

The stalker thing wouldn't be so annoying if it weren't for 2 things.

1. They are super weak and even someone not aiming at them can kill 3 or 4 by accident.

It doesn't help that they spawn in groups and are, somehow, faster than crawlers. As a fledgling Berserker, I aim my 2ndary weapon at crawlers and end up gunning down 3-4 stalkers trying to get the same crawler.
