They disabled perk leveling on 7+ servers yet this thread providing detailed instructions on how to "grind" each perk is allowed a sticky in the official forums.


there is nothing wrong with leveling your perks on solo mode because you don't want to play with others. it is not an exploit or anything knowing the fastest way to level your perk. your doing all the same stuff as everyone else but jsut faster.

there have been some changes with patch #4 (machete and fire axe gaining alt attack, modification of stalker requirement for commando leveling among others).

might need to go though and get some more updates in.

Also, new commando requirements should be implemented to the guide, and also the "tactics" against FP should be updated (Nothing else than nuking on sight atm?).

what do you mean by "Bloat-ed" and "clot buster" are those mutators that ship with the game or what?

Hey everyone.

I've been away from KF for a couple months now because I did not like the slow progress the devs were making towards improving the game.

It seems that they finally woke up and recently there have been some good changes so I'm going to give KF another go.

I will update my tips & tactics over the coming days/weeks depending on how much time I actually have to play and test things.

tnx mrgiggles.
Updated it.

Almost there, only a few bits missing now.

i'm also going to rewrite the Berserker grinding guide because I found a much more lazy way which is almost as fast while finally getting my Berserker perk from 4 to 5 over the past 2 days :)

Edit
The Berserker power grinding section is now changed to a new "lazy mode" tactic

- Tweaked some minor bits and pieces.
- Rewrote the sharpshooter grinding guide. Now 30% faster than before !

I still need some minor testing to be done by a level 0, 1 and 2 sharpshooter to finish the guide.
Please check my other topic in this forum where I ask for a few test subjects and help me out if you can.

edit
did another minor tweak in the sharpshooter guide. The camping spot is now diffirent. I found a much better location.

Does anyone know if commando 3 already gets the full +25% bonus or less?
Yes they do, and they also have 20% faster reload.

Updated. Thanks for the info.

Also done some other updates.
- Rewrote the Sharpshooter guide. Now even faster. (maximum 5 hours)
- Rewrote the Berserker guide. It now uses the same spot as Sharpshooter. About the same speed but even more "lazy mode" than before.
- Added the Katana (without info for now)

I'm still in need of some missing / unconfirmed perk info.
- Field Medic level 4.
- Support Specialist level 0 and 4.
- Commando level 1 and 4.
- Firebug level 0 and 2.

I'm also still looking for people with level 0, 1 and 2 to do a 5 minute test for me. See my other topic in this forum where I ask for test subjects.
If you help out then you will be credited in my guide :)

*7.5* Berserker 1-5 in 10-12 hours (lazy mode)
- Start Solo Suicidal Long clot-buster on KF-Offices (any map works but Offices is really lazy mode)
- This can give you up to 350-400K damage / hour.

Ouch, you might want to suggest using the Poundamonium mutator instead.

The problem with Poundamonium is that a headless FP still hurts like hell if you are camping in a corner :p
Clots just fall to the floor.
It's actually a decent leveling time when compared to most other perks (not counting the horribly slow commando grind ^^)

All remaining missing info confirmed.
Special thanks to Terrier for sending me so many PM's with info.
And off course a big thanks to everyone else who helped ^^

Now we just gotta wait for the heavy metal DLC so I can update the info on foundry, the katana and the AK47 :)

And this how you know a person has been endlessly grinding. They have a high level perk but have no clue how to use it properly.
