Seal Squeal: Cross-perk it with Sharpshooter

[flashn00b]

Yeah, i know the Summer 2019 beta isn't a thing yet, though when you consider the difference in game mechanics between Killing Floor 1 and Killing Floor 2, i think it'd actually make sense for the Seal Squeal to be both a Demolitionist and Sharpshooter weapon

What i mean by "difference in game mechanics" is that the Harpoons in KF1 did very little damage, but had a 3.65 Headshot multiplier to compensate. However, since such mechanics aren't present in Killing Floor 2, I get the feeling that the harpoons will deal a decent amount of burst damage to compensate for how KF2 plays differently from KF1, effectively functioning more like a ballistic weapon with an explosive alt-fire, rather than be an explosive weapon like the M79 and RPG-7.

And while a Demolitionist would be more focused around inflicting raw damage, I can see the harpoons being used on Sharpshooter to build up a Rack em Up Stack before detonating the explosive harpoons. Sniper and Stability would also be able to increase the damage of the harpoon explosives.

That's something I can get into... But only if it loses the explosive effect and instead get a piercing bonus akin to the crossbow.

I'm already kinda bummed out that the MAC-10 and Trenchgun also lights enemies on fire when used by crossperks.

Bumping this thread because after playing around with the Seal Squeal, I think it actually CAN be useful as a Sharpshooter weapon since the ballistic damage appears to be high enough to three-shot a Quarter Pound before the explosives even go off. Such damage would probably be welcome for the Sharpshooter perk
