As the title asks. Are the weapons from berserker, demolitionist and support class the only weapons that are good on Survivalist? If anything, Survivalist is probably better at using some of the demo weapons and then demo themselves (looking at you M32 grenade launcher).
- Firebugs weapons are literally the equivalent of using a off perk weapon with any other class, so they suck. Made worse by the fact many Firebug weapons can't do a quick headshot kill, so you're forced to deplete the enemies entire lifebar.
- Gunslinger and Sharpshooter weapons are very close to the bottom only being beaten by Firebug. You can reload their guns fast, and that's it. Rack em Up and any headshot bonus skill is completely absent, and the guns shortcomings are very apparent.
- SWAT and Commando weapons lack any of the magazine extension capabilities, so they're bad too. However with Zed-plosion and the level 25 skills, they can be kind of decent if you use them solely for low level enemies. Well outside the Sentinel drone. That's the one Commando weapon that's still good on Survivalist.
- Medic weapons never really had much damage upgrades to begin with, so I guess they're pretty indifferent to Survivalist since passive weapon damage makes up for Battle Surgeon. Though actually getting bonuses for healing teammates is badly missed.
This leaves solely the berserker, demolitionist and support class weapons. Berserker and Demolitionist are the only classes that has any sort of weapon upgrade from the Survivalist. Support don't have any buffs, but Support weapons are powerful enough not to be hindered and the quick reload for Support and demo are under the same skill.
Even the Survivalists' own weapons are pretty trash now. I do not even need to touch upon how crap both the Reducto Ray and HRG Locust has became since so many people kept on complaining about both weapon to the point Reducto Ray is only good at being a waste of space and dosh now and Locust can be replaced by a P90 SMG. Freezethrower sucks because enemies unfreeze before you can even switch to another weapon to try and kill them. Does anyone have anything good to say about the Killerwatt? Arc Generator I guess has novelty if you want to chain lightning enemies, but that's pretty much it.
Basically Survivalist is still the crap class outside if you want to have fun using the M32 grenade launcher.
