also this game is a massive improvement on kf1 simply by virtue of the vastly improved UI and classes all starting out with actual class specific weapons

How do classes level? Do you still need to do certain things to level up or can you just kill poo poo and level to max? I hated having to spend hours welding poo poo to level support.

Shotguns are the poo poo. I was going to go AA12 and the Mossberg pump until I got the faster reload ability, but I said gently caress it and made AA12 and the double barrel boomstick my loadout of choice.

Why? Because BOOM+BOOM :supaburn:

Holy gently caress. And I thought Pump action+Boomstick was sweet.

I'm also assuming this Pre EA beta has turbo charged experience gains. Because even accounting for poopsockers, I doubt we're going to have it that easy to reach double digits in a perk in one fun filled evening.

Zed time desaturation and bloat bile combined make for an interesting visual effect.


I love the idea that Horzine would charge their own employees money for guns to eliminate their experiments.


Bit of a clipping error on outpost! You can't leave the map or anything but it looks really silly when you're standing there.


This loving corner is a great place to hold out. Enemies should really spawn from over that wall, because drat.

:siren: PSA: The boss does not take damage while draining life from a player, he cannot be quick-killed like the Patriarch. Save your ammo, reload, and heal up!

Also the medic weapons are too drat fun and good. I love it. This game is gonna rule.

Stupid question. If shooting the boss during the life drain truly is useless, and it turns out shooting them does not make them drop the victim any faster.

Does trying to heal the victim while they are being drained help the victim any? So they don't get put down with basically no health? Or are they pretty hosed and unable to be helped until the boss is done.

Medic grenades might also be good since those heal players and can hurt zeds (If I read perk options prior in the thread right) so even if the drain toggles the boss into god mode and you're not allowed to direct heal, at least a well timed medic grenade is a risk free way to help the victim and tag the boss for some damage once the drain ends.

EDIT: vvv It speaks well for Killing Floor that teamwork is such a fast reaction :allears:

Healing them while they're getting drained works, and usually helps since the boss will put them down with like 30 HP or so.

You can heal the grabbed player. Often times when I'm grabbed my health will actually go UP because my whole team medic balled me.

Considering the dollar signs popping out of the zed's head when he's shot, Horzine apparently sees no issue with their workers earning back the money with interest by shooting zeds. Also, dollars, really? Not Dosh?

Yes, I had earmarked a few for him a while back as thanks; he didn't know it at the time but I was watching his KF1 stream and taking a bunch of UI notes, since it was one of the few on Twitch.

Edit: before I get surrounded by you enthusiastic clots, I'll check for fresh keys as well once I get in. Questioner86 will probably beat me to it, but one of us will announce some way to claim them if/when they're available.

Zed-on-zed violence is still in the game!

Our squad survived a wave because the last two enemies were a Fleshpound and a Husk, and the Husk managed to hit the Fleshpound and caused them to fight. The Fleshpound fought back a little but was more interested in the last player and kept smashing itself against a door the last player was welding. The Husk won. :toot:

Has anyone actually seen the new Patriarch? I'm wondering what kind of shiny new ability/textures Patrick has in this. Pretty kooky that we've seen so much of the new boss and none of him.

Also: obligatory offer to suck a dick for a key.

He launched a bunch of grenades, blew open the door, dropped me to 4 hp as I got a few AA-12 shots off on him which was just enough to finish him off.

That's one of the reasons I'm glad TW is doing EA with this. I want these fuckin' guys almost impossible to cheese, no more tons of pipebombs or just generally being a zerk. I know it's difficult but it seems like they'll improve the bosses to deal with every situation.
