Otherwise you're just playing a gimped version of another perk. Do not switch to Survivalist in a match until you have at least 3500 dosh to afford what is his only good loadout imo (Killerwatt + Railgun + ammo). You should at least be level 20 for Suicidal, because that's when you get a major skill (Spontaneous Zed Splosion) Ģ. Some loadouts that work for me but may not necessarily work for you:ġ. That's part of the fun of the perk itself. TBH there is no set loadout for survivalist IT's all about experimenting and deciding what's best for you. It works better with zedsplosion and incap weapons like the crossbow, freezethrower, rpg dud damage, you get the idea. Madman=shoots things faster so mag weapons benefit the most from this R only benefits demo weapons and the L benefits everything else (including demo weapons) I'd say it's a no brainer unless you plan on sticking to demo weapons only (which even then zedsplosion can work).ĥth is mostly only useful during zed times is between spontaneous zedsplosion and make things go boom. I'd say that the ammo vest works better with sticking to weapons (2 at most) while the weapon harness benefits if you want more diversity (especially a T5) for the added 5 extra weights.Ĥth (at lvl 20 so may wanna avoid these for later once you reach the lvls). There's no medic (but doesn't matter because most are crossperked), zerker (which also doesn't matter b/c most are crossperked that require reload with the exception of the eviscerator), and firebug (which again same arguement cept the flamethrower weapons and the MWG).Ģnd is melee expert will greatly benefit melee weapons while medic training only benefits healingģrd is between more ammo and weight. Right reload lvl 5 perk skill benefits more sharp, demo, and support weapons. Left reload lvl 5 skill benefits commando, swat, and GS weapons. Setups tend to vary depending on perk skills you choose:įirst and foremost the relaod skills determine your weapons you may wanna stick with More of a standalone weapon in a non-team setting. IT's just not too useful in survivalist setups. costly but much better because of penetration buff it has on armor.ĪVOID THE KILLERWATT. Reload helps a ton to reload the mag and grenade chamber. m16=another staple i sometimes see survivalist using. The reason being swat has the power in mags and snare (yeah good luck dealing with 10 scrakes with snare), while survivalist has more in slight damage and reload speed)

any swat weapons=honestly they're wayyyy better on survivalist than swat. Can pretty much help conserve on dosh for trash zeds and some mediums. Probably the ultimate useful starting weapon for survivalist with melee expert. Even without it you can still be a useful side healer Useful if you wanna be a supportive secondary combat medic. any med weapon=benefits from not only faster reload but also med training. m4=probably a good weapon to consider due to the default tight spread and high damage winchester and centerfire=benefit from faster reload and are generally very powerful upgraded PRobably one of the best weapons to use for saving on dosh. eviscerator=benefits from melee expert and retrievable ammo. m32=great for the reload speed and help on clearing zed hoardes rpg=a weapon to consider due to all teh counters it has on all zeds trenchgun=good in conjunction with zedsplosion to kill trash and mediums. Just use it as a support / incap weapon and not your main weapon. Regular fire to freeze and slow zeds and alt-fire to decap mediums and quickly freeze big zeds. freezethrower=probably the best weapon suited for survivalist in terms of being a supportive role. katana=good for overall use and low cost too. pulverizer=good for incapping and blocking as well as zed hoarde clearing A pretty useful weapon since you get incap buffs (especially if you use spontaneous zed splosion basically makes any weapon have exploding flashbang ammunition). crossbow=retrievable ammo and low cost as well as stun. Pick and choose from the variety to offer: In general any weapon that has slow reload on perks and benefits more from spam usually like the rpg and m32.

You may wanna consider some of the following weapons which work well on surviavlist overall. Best one i can think of for survivalist is tom (the knight) who has a trench, m4, crossbow, pulverizer, and MWG as his fav weapons. 1st tip is get at least a lvl 20 on any perk if you're gonna do HoE.Ģnd is may be a stretch but if you read each of the merc's fav weapons they can give you some hint as to what combos you may wanna use.
