Default I'd like to thank all the Berserkers

For keeping the scrakes from taking a chunk out of my ***. As a Demo Berserkers are the only thing that keeps me doing my job as Scrakes have an extremely high resistance to explosive damage and using the grenade launchers on them is just suicide as it simply triggers their enrage and demos have no way to defend themselves at close ranges.


I'd also like to curse out all the Berserker's who are too busy chopping the heads off of clots to actually take on the scrakes and just leave the scrakes to kill the demos. I mean come on. When you get swamped by crawlers I'm the first person to lay down a carpet of grenades to clear the whole area around you. How about returning the favour every now and then hmm?

I know people like to complain about the smoke but where there's smoke there's grenade fire and where there's grenade fire there are no more clots, crawlers, stalkers or gorefasts.

No sir, I don't play WoW. Goodness gracious.


Just a meme/inside internet joke I enjoy using.

Ah, Berserker, my all time favourite perk

While everyone else were hiding behind a corner with a Scar, I was in the front line fighting fleshpounds barehanded and won.

LOL

Bers' my main class, and first of all I take care of Scrakes, pounds and husks.
But wait, why don't you buy a katana to stop a scrake in an emergency? A melee is a must-have for a demo/firebug.

Only if you don't have anyone to cover up your ***, if you can throw away that katana and add another nadelauncher you increase your damageoutput which is good =)

You're welcome!
I love taking out scrakes.
It is suprisingly easy with the katana.

I see a scrake and it's "OH OH! MINE!"
Haha.

Personally, I love taking out skrakes. Whatever server I play on usually lets me take care of it too. Only lvl 2 zerker...so I lose against fp's.

But all the same, a good demo should be strategic about pipe bombs. Nades are useful against large numbers of weak specimens, like if there were a whole bunch of clots and gores and crawlers. But pipes in the right place can save the *** of any class in trouble.

IMO, here's what it comes down to:

Zerker = kill skrakes and husks
Demo = strategically weaken everything big by well placed pipe bombs in choke points and such
SS = snipe fp's and kill crawlers
Support = back up SS in case of clot and gore swarm
Firebug = kill it with fire
Commando = same as Support but could also help kill big things because Bullpup and SCAR have pretty steady iron sights
Medic = heal

Usually if all goes well, the only people receiving damage should be the zerker and occasionally the medic. If the rest of the team lets a SS with a steady hand take care of the fp. Even at lvl 0 for the whole team they should survive pretty well.

True enough. The issue is that I play on FF servers as a lvl6 zerker. Lately, the supports seem to like pissing off scrakes. I can't get near them to help because I'll get shotgunned to death by everyone else "helping".

I have to either rush in and get killed by friends or live and watch something--I could have easily killed--gut my friends. Also, while all this is going on, no one is killing the crawlers; which means I can't move to kill the gore fasts and everyone dies.

It got so bad that I had to just rambo because my own team was more of a threat than the zeds. They couldn't understand bullets hurt more than bites. Ultimately, I would have to run off and get killed by FP's while they would get killed by raging scrakes o.O

I love my lvl6 ninja and don't really play anything else. It is all about being flexible as a melee. If there is a sharpshooter, let him handle the scrakes, FP, husks, and crawlers with head shots. A good zerker should be able to toggle crouch and keep the lesser enemies off of him. A lvl 6 can extend zed time quite a bit by killing clots. This gives the sharpshooter plenty of time to take his shots.

If there aren't any sharpshooters and are only support it is different. Zerker should handle the clots, fasts, scrakes, and husks. The support should cover the FPs, and swarms of crawlers, and sirens.

If FF is on, then the zerker should just stay away from the demo. Unless he is very disciplined the demo will kill the zerker very quickly. Actually a zerker/demo combo never seems to work on FF. I guess it could, though.



Someone give me back my un-nerfed chainsaw so I can drop this stupid Wal-Mart $400 crossbow special! Please! This has got to be an easy fix. I'm not trying to hog all the FP's for myself. I would just like the ability to defend myself with a weapon in my class.

In a six-person game, a berserker should probably not be killing husks, unless he has a bow or the husk is right on top of the group. Although it depends on the map.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, you think that the SS should snipe FP's AND kill crawlers? What weapon is he doing that with? A bow and an m14? I guess the commando and support perks just sit there and leave the SS to do everything...

A good chainsaw would be nice. However, you laugh at/insult the bow now, but I predict massive whining when/if it gets nerfed.

Well it depends sometimes. Husks for me are pretty easy to take down, unless I'm playing firebug. I only let husks get killed by others if I see husks being backed up by other specs, especially skrakes and fp's.

Aw...M14 is a pussy weapon. Period. I take out crawlers with my 9mm, thank you very much.

Nerf the bow without giving back the chainsaw? Heck yeah I would whine. I will be like boo-hoo-DED. Every class has something that they can use inside their own class to kill FP's without getting thrashed. Every class, but the Berserker that is. We have to run around with it chasing us yelling, "Aaah! Kill it! Someone kill it! Where is the SharpShooter?!?!" LoL
