Version 1035 and 1036 compatible.
Now the game is a total garbage. Finally I can go back to the reality.
The only workable party combination of this game is now full 6 player party, with some mandatory sharpshooters. Any other combinations are officially prevented from survival. Dev certificated.
No berserkers. It's hopeless. Berserkers MUST run away like rats from fleshpounds, bloats, sirens, even gorefasts, and husks by all costs.
Almost all zeds now have melee resistance, and you lost all your movement and attack speed bonus. No match.
Unless you run away, you just die and waste a good chunk of money of teammates to buy him the armor and (even more) expensive useless metal sticks.
Berserkers are neither tanker, nor dealer. If you choose a berserker, that means you are a super selfish bum who only wants to enjoy some ninja action without teamplay, which means you deserve an instant ban from most of servers.
If you really need a parrier, then you pick a medic, buy full armor and get eviscerator. It's waaayyyy better than the useless berserker crap.
Firebug is now unplayable, pretty much as the berserker.

Firebug is no longer a solution against crawlers, stalkers, gorefasts, scrakes - instead, actually THEY ARE COUNTERS against firebug. You must run away from them at all cost.
Now the firebug's play is much simpler. If you didn't buy MWG yet, try spitting some fire on clot clones while diligently running away from any crawlers, stalkers, and gorefasts before they reach you.
You may try some sharpshooter and gunslinger weapons but remember that they will critically delay you MWG purchase, some 1-2 waves later than first scrake. You're going to be blamed for that.
After you buy an MWG, then hide safely behind a teammate, try to drag as less agro as you can, and 'snipe' the husks and sirens only with your MWGs - you may blow out some additional gorefasts if you must do.
You may try hurting some scrakes, but remember that the damage is now half. Blowing winds only (the second shot) may be safer.
Just don't pick berserker and firebug. The party simply don't need them. Sharpshooters do much better.
And also, the game now mandates a full 6 men party with as many sharpshooters as possible. Any party combination below that, especially the solo play, simply doesn't work. Just go try if you want to waste some time.
If anyone in the party, especially the sharpshooter makes a fatal mistake and die, then it's gameover. Just blame him and quit the game ASAP. Rest of the play is just another apocalypse simulator. I mean, APOcalypse.
I'm leaving. Leaving this madness until the devs revamp the whole game system. Damage resistances, stun/stumble/fall down (forgot the term), berserkers attack mechanism. Anyone who is responsible for this whole game design, should be fired or at least taken away from the game design. It is clear that he has lost his vision on game design. And this is a capitalist society, somebody should really take responsibility for this catastrophe of the whole franchise.
