What Perks pair well together?

[Uk1t4k3]

I'd do SCAR+AK+Katana (subjective preference) but yea that's a good combo.

Commando absolutely owns the trash zeds and the SS absolutely owns the heavies.

Not to mention the 30% reload bonus really help in loading the grenade launcher.

this perk needs no other perk

Assuming the berserker isnt jumping around like a crazy rabbit all the time (which they tend to do a lot) then medic and zerk is a good combination, especially if the medic has a crossbow just for the fleshpounds. The berserker just needs to know when to back up for healing occasionally.

Is there any particular reason that the med should have the bow? It seems better that the berserker have the bow, that way the med can have the anti-crawler spray medgun and both have room for katanas.

Usually the medic will choose crossbow+katana like a zerker do... as for healing he could use syringe instead.

Alternatively the zerker takes care of FP with knife only for style points while medic keeps crawlers and some other specimen off his back while healing if it's required.

I like the med/zerk combo both with Sword, one with Xbow , other with M79. Usually I prefer the medic with the M79 since if the zerk starts getting surrounded just shoot the GL at his feet. if the medic is in trouble the zerk can just rush in.

Xbow for the FPs and just about all the bases are covered.

When doing a whole team playing as a medic the mp7 for crawler clearing is awesome, since for some reason everyone complains about the crawlers but nobody ever seems to shoot them. Honestly if you are a medic and you do nothing but heal and shoot crawlers and not shoot another bullet youre still more help than 90% of the people I have played with.

Yeah I used my 6 commando a lot when i was leveling support.

Keep scar, replace AK with shotgun. The reload time rocks.

Medic+Berserker(When zed time on, medic also can heal another perk easily.)
Sharpshooter+Commando(When SS is shooting down stuff from distance, Com get these trick *** eating zed away from SS)
Firebug+Demolition(Firebug weaken the zeds and demo's bomb finish them off, and their both are good suicidal)

 

[wiggles3000]

me and beeeees did rather well going firebug and demolitions on doom2

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

This. The worst part is when someone sees you hacking away at them witha melee weapon and you look so focussed they're afraid to steal your kill -_-

Commando + sharp,
Thats how i did my suicidal acheivs, pretty basic and easy duo.

Mando takes the trash, sharpies takes the big guys.
While mando reloads, sharpies blast with HCs unless they got the EBR with em and mando shares any cash the sharpie needs during trader time.

Sharp + sharp, done that duo as well, but usually one with an xbow the other with an EBR playing mando style

Theres a lota perks that go well with each other, just like the ones mentioned above me, i think the question should be the other way around, which perks DO NOT pair well together?

If they are the only two players, I wouldn't recommend it but... Demolitions and Firebug.

Firebug can quickly shoot a burst of flame, and usually tell if something is still alive in the smoke. (Yes, Commando can sort of do this if they are close enough, but only they see the Zed)

Really I like this Demo/Firebug pairing morein full team. And more than a cooperative pairing, the Firebug is more illuminating enemies in the smoke so your team knows to keep shooting.

Medic + Zerker = Well, makes sense huh? ^^

Sharpshooter (with Xbow) + Commando/Firebug/Zerker = Sharpie takes care of the big, strong targets while the Commando/Firebug/Zerker takes care of the weak trash, both single targets and bigger groups. Zerkers have the Crawler issue though :/
-Demolitions and Support can also take care of the weak trash, but Sharpie+Demo/Supp (sorta) lacks the small weak single target niche, at least without being ammo-efficient, bar pistols ofc (but that makes them momentarily unable to deal with their other jobs)

Demolitions + Commando/Firebug = Demolitions take care of big targets, Commando/Firebug take care of weak single targets. All take care of big groups together. Demolitions take a big chunk of the targets' health immediately, while the Commando/Firebug finishes them of with lesser ammo used (or the other way around). Firebugs can lit up targets to help against the smoke issue, Commando can "see" through the smoke and on top of that, can also take of Stalkers with great ease, who can be dangerous if they get close to Demos (self explosions is that i have in mind there)
-Sharpshooter/Support/Zerker can also assist Demolitions quite well, but they don't combine as well as Commando and Firebug.

Zerker + Commando = ZED-time . Zerker takes care of Scrakes, Commando takes care of Crawlers and open field Sirens+Husks. Only real problem here is the Fleshpounds though.

Support + Demolitions (+ Firebug) = AoE-fest. These perks are awesome to kill huge groups quickly, due to their piercing / AoE abilities. Weld a door, put a pipebomb in front of it, let them in and BLAM! Xbow Sharpies and Full auto Commandos are also good at joining in, but in particular Support + Demolitions (and 3rd place Firebug) win the AoE-fest combination

My own guesses:

Commando+firebug: without the SCAR the fp is going to be a pain in the arse, and hard if not impossible to outrun.

Medic+commando, where the medic is stuck in a mindset of healing people and never ever going rambo the way medic is meant to be played.

Demo+demo, where at the patty round no one knows who piped what where. The universe around the campground is a perfect chorus of my God, it's full of red beeping stars.

...yeah, there aren't that many bad combos that are bad without context I think.

 

[smilin]

Medic + Commando actually does pretty well if the medic takes up the xbow.

Demo+Demo would suck utterly until about wave 8. By that time there is so much ordnance laying around you could go get a bag of chips and come back. Doubt you would make it to 8 though.

Demos are weak as a kitten up close.
