He's also revealed to me that I'm wasting my time playing perks like Firebug or Commando since they have no chance of solo-ing entire waves from a single doorway without worry of running out of ammo (Although the Bullpup is quite nice for decapitating Fleshpounds). I may as well just buy a katana like him, because why not? The katana is clearly superior to everything else. Say, what is this thread about again.
Well, nothing is stopping you from having a melee weapon as a secondary. As a Firebug/Commando you have enough ammo to get a very good amount of kills each round, from a distance, out of harms way. No gun has enough ammo to
solo an entire wave(depending on variables), which is probably where the "team" aspect of the game comes in. There are also ammo crates and weapons lying around most of the time, and you do infact have a 9mm, I suggest you learn to use it. Tactics do come into play and you can't really expect to be given enough ammo to simply spam away as you please. You should never be incapable of killing something.
Firebugs have huge damage and are capable of carrying a melee weapon with flamethrower. They also get awesome flame nades. To give them more ammo would overpower them. Perhaps they could use a little bit of buffing, like a new weapon or something, but it is not berserker alone that makes them seem "bad"(for lack of a better word).
Commandos get 2 weapons, 1 being really cheap, allowing you to buy spares, and both having decent damage with good amounts of extremely cheap ammo. They are good and very capable at taking out normal mobs and FP's(basically everything except scrakes *sigh*can't be good at everything). Oh, not to mention they can also see stalkers and health, nifty little tricks.
Berserkers specialise in melee weapons so they don't really need ammo(but do use guns, seeing how crawlers/sirens and even bloats are a big problem*cough*game balance*cough*), but they don't have range and constantly put themselves in danger. Even hiding behind doors and walls is not fool-proof.
Please, I thought that much about the classes was obvious.
Yes, the katana is overpowered, I'm not refuting that. That is why I made this thread(which seems to have gone a bit off course), but I fail to see how that is a problem with the class itself.
Hard to aim when there's a body holding a katana or chainsaw in your way. Picking off Crawlers and Stalkers is a fairly simple task, nonetheless, but they hardly bring in any decent money.
Well, I don't know what sort of berserkers you've been playing with, but I don't think I've ever seen a beserker who wasn't crouching while sitting in a doorway, not to mention it sounds asthough your berserkers are sitting in the middle of the doorway, which doesn't sound right to me.
As far as the money goes, clots, crawlers, gorefasts and stalkers make up the majority of the money I'd presume, so that shouldn't be a problem.
