The 25% healing penalty from Armament will cost a level 25 Medic 15hp per dart with an Assault Rifle. The following video explains why (credit to Simple Cat): If you need to heal a teammate, allow for the healing to take effect (10hp/sec). If you want to repair armor, pump darts quickly. It is not only faster than switching weapons, but it will allow you to take advantage of the Medic Rifle's superior healing capability (60hp/45hp depending on whether you're using Armament or not). Or, you can get a lot more if you allow for 1 second intervals between healing darts. Husks and Sirens have priority and should be called out immediately if possible.Īs a level 25 Medic, you can get 7 darts out of the Medic Assault Rifle if you allow for 0.5 second between healing darts. The ones above can cause problems so only worry about those if your teammates aren't taking care of them.

Gorefasts (if they're too close for comfort)Įvery other trash zed, your teammates should and will have no problems wiping out.Your secondary job is to help out on certain zeds that can be a nuisance to the team. Sure, the character progression is kind of alright in a basic way, but that alone is not enough to carry a tired genre through to being a successful port.Your primary job is to keep your teammates healed. After about 3 rounds with a bunch of kids screaming in your ear, you will be done too (thank goodness it is so easy to just turn audio off). Where Killing Floor 2 could have filled the void left by Left 4 Dead 2, it instead just tossed itself into the equivalent of the Walmart $5 bargain bin. For a better, more interesting challenge you are better off just firing up Halo: Reach and playing Firefight, or launching the best of the best with regard to Horde mode fighting, by playing a few dozen rounds in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Gameplay is essentially just horde mode from literally EVERY other first person shooter… It is incredibly dull actually. Periodically some gross-looking blob with arms that throws acid pukeballs will be stumbling along then just … slide … across the floor and BOOM! Right in your face. The animation for Killing Floor 2 is fairly decent the various bad guys shamble, scramble, or bumble their way towards you in a relentless wave of monotony in a relatively convincing manner… until they don't.

Enemy models fair a little better since they often have some manner of grotesque appendage or wound, but are largely just cheesy in appearance. It is almost like Tripwire took that waxy, horrible appearance found on models in Fallout and splashed them with overly-reflective clearcoat, giving them the bizarre sheen found in Kingdoms of Amalur it is really unsettling and just awkward looking. Unfortunately though that is about where the good ends.Įvery model has a shiny wax appearance to it as if someone crossed all of the worst modeling/texturing aspects of Fallout 4 (which was horrible and my biggest gaming regret of 2015) and Kingdoms of Amalur (which was awesome and one of my favorite action RPGs for the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3).

Level design, for as simplistic as the game is, is quite nice, some of the areas being downright gorgeous. To start, there are some neat aspects about Killing Floor 2, largely in the unique punk-rock-meets-hard-science aesthetic, especially with some of the character skins that you can get your hands on as you progress through the various levels. Nearly a year later Killing Floor 2 has finally come to Xbox One and those of us that prefer Microsoft's home console for FPS games are finally able to join the fray… Unfortunately for us though, Killing Floor 2 feels a bit dead in the water, lifeless, and redundant given the abundance of far superior first person shooters available today.
