Berserker – The Melee Specialist
If you like to get up close and personal with the Zeds, the Berserker is the class for you. With their melee weapons, they can deal massive damage and parry attacks to avoid damage. Here are some tips and strategies:
- Use the Bone Crusher to block incoming attacks and deal area damage.
- Upgrade your resistance and speed to survive longer and reach enemies faster.
- Pair with a Field Medic to heal yourself and your team.
My personal experience:
I love playing as a Berserker because it’s so satisfying to chop Zeds into pieces. The Bone Crusher is my favorite weapon because it can take down multiple enemies at once and protect me from damage. However, you need to be careful not to get surrounded or overwhelmed by large groups of Zeds, as they can quickly take you down.
Commando – The Assault Rifle Expert
If you prefer to stay back and provide cover fire, the Commando is a great choice. With their assault rifles, they can take down Zeds from a distance and locate invisible enemies. Here are some tips and strategies:
- Use the SCAR-H or AK-12 for high damage and accuracy.
- Upgrade your ammo capacity and penetration to deal with large groups of Zeds.
- Pair with a Firebug to ignite enemies and create chaos.
My personal experience:
I usually play as a Commando when I want to support my team from afar. The SCAR-H is my favorite weapon because it has a high headshot multiplier and can take down most enemies with a few shots. However, you need to be careful not to waste your ammo or attract too much attention from the Zeds, as they can quickly overwhelm you.
Support – The Shotgun Master
If you like to deal massive damage at close range, the Support class is a great choice. With their shotguns, they can take down Zeds in one or two shots and weld doors to block enemy paths. Here are some tips and strategies:
- Use the AA-12 or HZ12 for high fire rate and magazine capacity.
- Upgrade your reload speed and penetration to deal with Fleshpounds and Scrakes.
- Pair with a Berserker to protect you from incoming attacks.
My personal experience:
I enjoy playing as a Support because shotguns are so much fun to use. The AA-12 is my favorite weapon because it can shred enemies at close range and has a huge magazine capacity. However, you need to be careful not to waste your ammo or get too close to the Zeds, as they can quickly overwhelm you.
Field Medic – The Healer and Buffer
If you like to support your team by healing and buffing them, the Field Medic is the class for you. With their healing grenades and buffs, they can keep their team alive and increase their damage output. Here are some tips and strategies:
- Use the HMTech-101 or HMTech-401 for healing and damage.
- Upgrade your healing effectiveness and speed to keep your team alive.
- Pair with a Commando or Support to protect you while you heal.
My personal experience:
I often play as a Field Medic when I want to support my team and keep them alive. The HMTech-401 is my favorite weapon because it can heal multiple targets at once and deal decent damage to enemies. However, you need to be careful not to waste your grenades or get too close to the Zeds, as they can quickly take you down.
Demolitionist – The Explosive Expert
If you like to blow things up and cause chaos, the Demolitionist is the class for you. With their explosive weapons, they can deal massive damage and clear large groups of enemies. Here are some tips and strategies:
- Use the M79 or RPG-7 for high explosive damage and radius.
- Upgrade your ammo capacity and radius to deal with large groups of Zeds.
- Pair with a Firebug to ignite enemies and create even more chaos.
My personal experience:
I rarely play as a Demolitionist because it requires a lot of skill and coordination to use explosives effectively. However, when I do play as one, I enjoy using the RPG-7 to take down Fleshpounds and Scrakes in one shot. However, you need to be careful not to damage your teammates or waste your ammo, as explosives can be unpredictable.
Firebug – The Pyromaniac
If you like to ignite enemies and watch them burn, the Firebug is the class for you. With their flamethrowers and incendiary grenades, they can create chaos and deal damage over time. Here are some tips and strategies:
- Use the Flamethrower or Microwave Gun for consistent damage and crowd control.
- Upgrade your fire damage and radius to ignite enemies and create chaos.
- Pair with a Demolitionist or Support to deal with large groups of Zeds.
My personal experience:
I rarely play as a Firebug because I prefer to use weapons that deal more instant damage. However, when I do play as one, I enjoy using the Flamethrower to create a wall of fire and block enemy paths. However, you need to be careful not to ignite your teammates or get too close to the Zeds, as they can quickly take you down.
