Maybe they should just rename the Scrake into a Schkrake so nobody can go wrong.

True, but some level 6 tends to become cocky and go off solo, if you talk to them they don't respond. : (


They're not responding because they discovered that solo in multiplayer is a bad idea.

They're getting their *** handed to them.

That's what i like to think.

And if people are waiting for someone to kill the scrake and then get killed, why not be that person they're waiting for?

I go my L6 Medic with MP7M/Xbow and i'm the guy that takes out scrakes. I find the lack of SS OP-ness with the Xbow (as medic) makes it easier to kill if i fuc... stuff up. The only problem is that Xbow and MP7M are both spec. weps.

That sure is true, but in some situations you don't have the time sadly.

i always play a commando but until i reached level 6 (i do now), m not doing anything to unnecessarily rage scrakes (i treated scrakes and fps with great fear/respect/common sense).. i just let SS or if not, anybody with a xbow/ebr take care of it.. unless of course i'm in the ff situation:

1) raping a teammate right in front of me
2) i am the one left and its already raging (in which case i let it eat a full scar mag first before im done)

while i can say that my level 6 commando perk can now handle a non-yet-enraging-scrake with 80% health provided i spotted it a distance away, while a similar situation with fp can still make a burger out of me :eek:

Well, thanks for not beeing one of those people that wait for me to get killed by the Scrake when I'm already low HP and then call me a noob. : P

plus people rely on beserkers with katanas too much

It's sort of paradoxic as the amount of KF played in the past few months, I've seen only 3-4 berserkers per month (ignoring me, usually playing the first round as one) to even play with that perk.

I personally can understand the OP's question, as sometimes I've seen lvl4-6 sharpies going completely out of their mind when they see one scarke approaching while if it's FP they just shoot it at once. I honestly have no clue what the hell is causing that in the first place. Maybe they piss their pants when they hear them laughing :D

Behind You!
Im often playing berserker and I have to admit I tend to go solo sometimes, because its kinda funny to have all zeds chase me around but they cant catch me due speed and "clot resistance" xD

Just yesterday I was running around Biotics on suicidal, pissing off fleshpounds just so they would chase me LOL, its hilarious. But, that also gives my team some time to finish them off when they are after me. Of course the fleshpounds are faster than zerker but its rather easy to fool them on a map like biotics where you have many doors and other obstacles where they can get stuck for a while.

I dont think this would hurt the team much as long as I stay alive, since Im attracting all the attention on me away from my team so they can do the killing. While Im at it I usually collect tons of backup weapons on our fav camp spot so we never run out of ammo.

However, if someone feels disturbed by this, you just have to ask and I'll stop playing around and stay with the team. Its just my way of having a little fun and excitement :)

That's what I mean, especially because Scrakes are pretty slow and actually weak compared to a Fleshpound since they sometimes don't even bother to attack and you can kite kill them while backpeddling with a knife, only problem is when you attacked from behind. : P

I thought the shrake wasnt a threat? I think he has a special power of making you want to die. I think he is a tree when I see and sometimes that tree attacks and I don't know why then when someone says its scrake I immediately shoot it but I keep thinking poor tree, but when the tree dies, the scrakes power is gone and I realise I was mind controlled. Thescrake doesn't laugh hes chanting curses at you.

"I like trousers" means hes going to kick your *** when he gets your trousers off.

I remember the first time i zerked a scrake. I was wielding the katana, i thought, **** it, and charged him dancing around him in circles. He didn't attack back and i killed him. Sometimes saying "**** it" and doing something turns out all right. :D

And aiming for the head, switching to full auto and letting rip with the SCAR seems like a great plan. Actually anything with guns, heads and shooting sounds like a great plan. Unless it's the Husk's fireball gun and your head. :p

And i like it when a scrake says "hurr hurr hurr"
It translates as "Xbone my head"

Speaking of which, my Medic has the ability to surgically implant bolts into heads. It seems to drastically calm them down. Like dead calm.
