Merdic has some funny ones, then again he's the one posting all the challenges.

I'm pretty standard myself, so I'm not worth posting a list, but my favorite when I'm helping scrubby friends on lower difficulties is Support[Hunting shotgun + LAW].

I have a certain set of usual loadouts in my rotation, but I'll stick to what's most common for me.

Medic
- Mp5 or Shneidzekk/Mk23/Xbow

Support
- mk23 or m79 or Tommy Gun or Handcannon/m14/Hunting Shotgun
- Hsg-1/Combat Shotgun/Husk Launcher
- Hsg-1/Buzzsaw Bow/AA12

Sharpshooter
- m14/Handcannon/mk23
- Handcannon/mk23/Swagger Action Rifle
- mk23/Mp5/Xbow
- mk23 or .44/Dwarfs?! Axe/Swagger Action Rifle is now a new favorite

Commando
-
SCAR/Xbow
- SCAR/m32/mk23

Firebug
- mk23/Dual Flare Pistols/Husk Launcher
- mk23/Dual Flare Pistols/Trenchgun

Zerk
I barely even touch this perk anymore, but hmmm. I did go Dwarfs Axe and Zed Gun for a couple of rounds earlier. I might start playing it a little more just to get a Dwarfs Axe.

Demo
I don't really play demo, I just use demo weapons offperk, so I'm pretty basic with it.
- mk23/m79/m32/Pipes

Fun fact: When you carry a Commando weapon as a level 6 Sharpshooter and get headshots you do EXACTLY the same damage with it as a level 6 Commando headshotting the same zeds. :3

All of the below is my ideal loadouts. I obviously can't afford them at the start of the game, so I usually make do with random lower tier weapons.

Medic: MP7M, MP5M and M7A3
.
Support Specialist: AA12 and Hunting Shotgun.

Sharpshooter: M14 and LAR.

Berserker: Katana, Axe and LAR.

Commando: SCAR and MKb.

Firebug: Husk Cannon at lower difficulties (It's too damn expensive!). Otherwise, Flamethrower+MAC10 or Flamethrower+Flare Revolvers. Sometimes Trench Gun instead of Flamethrower.

Demolitions: M32 and M79. LAW during Patty.

Serious loadouts:

Berserker:
Katana/Axe/M79/Mk23
Katana/Axe/LAR
Axe/DB shotgun (This is great for soloing)

Sharpshooter:
Crossbow/Mk23/Katana
Crossbow/Mk23/MP7M
EBR/LAR (not so much thesedays, now the gatling Xbow is so OP)

Support:
PSG/HSG/Katana/Mk23
PSG/HSG/M79
PSG/HSG/Axe

Demo:
M32/Katana/Mk23/Pipes
M32/Katana/MP7M/Pipes
(IMHO, demos should be used as anti-FP/OSHI, and the M32 has plenty of nades for this, allowing me to either multiclass into healer or to let me cover/clear occassional smaller zeds. Katana there to help when clutching mostly). I don't think demos who constantly fire nades actually help their team, bar very rare situations.


I don't FB, medic or commando really.

Medic:
Schneidzekk Medi-gun + MP5 + M32 for FP and trash help if we need it.
MP5 + Katana + LAR for kiting.
Schneidzekk Medi-gun + MK23 + LAR for general help with sirens/husks.
Schneidzekk Medi-gun + MP5 for healing.

Support:
HSG/Shotgun + Hunting Shotgun + Kat/Axe/MP5 for all purpose support.
AA12 + Hunting Shotgun for trash help.

Sharpshooter:
Crossbow + MK23 for camping with the need to kill stronger targets.
M14EBR + LAR for killing in general. My favorite loadout, though the one I'm worst with.
M14EBR/LAR + MK23 + 44 if our mando is doing a REALLY bad job with trash.
.44 + LAR for being a total beast running around with a pistol and LAR.

Commando:
AK47 + Scar (I can't headshot with the mkb42)

Berserker:
Kat + Axe + LAR for being a beast.
Kat + Crossbow for Patty wave.

Firebug:
Mac-10 + Flamethrower always.

Demolition:
M79 Launcher + M32 Launcher + Pipe Bombs ofc.
L.A.W. + Pipe Bombs for Patty.

There are also some fun trolly loadouts like dual .44 + HC + MK23 as Sharp, or single .44 or HC or MK23 as Sharp (Run outta ammo? KNIFE). SupLAW Specialist is good, as well as prochete zerk. M99 Medic is great. Trolledouts are only used on Hard (well.. not the dualies and prochete). Normal loadouts are use on HoE (unless I'm try-harding Hard for whatever reason)

Now I just play mostly zerker but when I do play other perks....

Zerker
(axe) + flare pistol later on.

Sharpie
(Xbow) + HC later on.

Cmdo
(SCAR & FN-FAL)

Flmr
(Fmr + flare pistol) early waves
(Trench SG + dual FP) later waves

Demo
Both GLs early waves
Later waves LAW

Medic
MP7 + MP5 (I find the new one too expensive and usually give my money to other players)

Supp
Early: SG + HSG
AA12+ Dbl barrel (or HSG depending on the map. i.e. for longer range maps MP or Manor, dbl barrel for close quarters like MB, Off or BL)

** For Zerker and Medic I usually play will minimum loadout so that if I die I can make do with the basic equipment and rely on that. If other equipment becomes available - great... otherwise.... practice makes perfect.
