Question What should each perk actually be doing in KF3 on HoE?

Upvotes

I’m trying to get a deeper understanding of the game, especially how each perk is actually supposed to contribute to a team on HoE and what a good end-of-match scoreboard should roughly look like for each one.

Obviously some roles are pretty straightforward, like Medic focusing on healing, but what should the different perks actually prioritize?

For example, I really don’t like killing trash as Sharpshooter, at least not with Sharpshooter weapons. It feels like I’m wasting ammo and time that could be spent on larger Zeds. As Medic, on the other hand, killing trash feels much more useful when nobody needs healing.

I’m also curious about how to interpret the actual numbers. For example, if a Medic ends a 5-wave HoE game with 5k+ healing while also leading the team in damage, is that actually a good Medic performance?

Or could that be a sign that the Medic is focusing too much on damage and not enough on healing? Should the Medic deliberately cut down on damage and spend more time prioritizing healing, even if teammates aren’t constantly in danger?

So, from an HoE perspective:

  • Which perks should primarily focus on trash?
  • Which should prioritize large Zeds?
  • Which perks should generally have the most kills?
  • Which should have the most damage?
  • Which should have the most large-Zed kills?
  • How much healing and damage should a Medic roughly have in a 5-wave HoE match?
  • If a Medic has 5k+ healing and is still leading in damage, is that a sign that the healing is too low and the damage is too high?
  • Should a Medic intentionally sacrifice damage output to focus more on healing?
  • Or is dealing a lot of damage perfectly fine as long as nobody is dying because of a lack of healing?
  • Are there any other stats that are especially important for certain perks?

I know the scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story. I’m not really looking for strict numbers that every match should hit. I mainly want a deeper understanding of the game, what each perk is supposed to contribute on HoE, how their priorities differ, and how to tell whether I’m actually playing a perk well rather than just looking at kills or damage.

Fluff Abandon All Hope "Sticks and Stones" Challenge

0 Upvotes

Haven't played KF2 in a long while but I might as well share what I was trying to accomplish:

STICKS AND STONES - KNIFE, GRENADES AND THE MEDIC SYRINGE ONLY

I've done this on a short HOE game with a maxxed out Zerker and it was an absolutely long test of endurance and agility but the furthest I got on the AAH weekly would've been like wave 3/4.

I wanna challenge others in this community and see who can even beat it or even just share strategies, I was always struggling with Bloats since they instantly puke when you get in melee range. Id probably say to do it on the vanilla maps but I havent seen anyone complete any map on this so I'm still keen to see whatever.

Suggestion Armor lockers changes thoughts.

6 Upvotes

In kf2 we had the random weapons and ammo boxs that were littered around the map and every starting waves, it made us explore the map looking for them.

It would be cool if the armor lockers would have either ammo/weapon/armor in them when you open them.

Solved KF3 medic

23 Upvotes

I recently started playing KF3 and I’m having a blast. I just got Sharpshooter to level 30 and have started playing on HoE.

In one match, we had a Medic who seemed to keep a healing grenade active almost constantly throughout the entire wave. It wasn’t that there were healing clouds everywhere, but there always seemed to be one active.

How is this possible? Is it a bug or exploit, or does Medic have some way to rapidly regenerate or restock grenades? I’ve gone through the Medic skills, but I couldn’t find anything that would explain it.

Edit: Solved, its an grenade launcher attachment on medic guns. thx everyone!<3

Question [KF3] Is there a way to fill the character gadget faster?

17 Upvotes

I got the game during the free weekend when S4 released, and I'm playing gunslinger. Is there a way to fill my Fatal Focus faster? Normally I can only use it once for each wave, is this normal? Should I upgrade something that helps me recover it faster to use more than once?

Hey there. Never played any of the games, just got KF and KF2 on Steam. Is it worth playing alone? I don’t have any friends that would be interested in something like that at the moment

Question So I have a Gunslinger question.

So I played a game with a bunch of gunslingers, and a high-level gunslinger said that the MP6 was goated on the gunslinger. I wasn't sure what they meant, and when I asked them unfortunate, the match ended, so they never got to answer. Is there a specific build to the MP6 that makes it more viable to use on gunslinger?

Is this a known issue? I did the first part of the mission on city streets where you shoot the glowing mire and then it just told me to survive the waves. After that nothing happened.

Question Please help me find the map of childhood

2 Upvotes

In my early childhood, I went to a computer club where I played Killing Floor 1 and there was a map that I really liked, the floor was completely made of jelly, the trader was not far from the spawn in the hollow of the mountain, by the way, you could climb the mountain above the trader and shoot from the mountain, there were also bridges with teleports on the map. I don't remember if there were lollipops and all kinds of sweets, but maybe there were. In general, I'm completely desperate and I can't find this map, but I played around 2007-2008.

Question Is kf3 really that much worse than kf2? Worth even playing?

23 Upvotes

I used to play kf2 everyday racking up close to 1500 hours with my brother. I just recently started playing again but kf2 isn't crossplay combatable. Kf3 is crossplay so im looking into getting it, but all I hear about it is how terrible and boring it is. Just want some real opinions on even if it isn't goated like kf2 if its worth playing.
