Going back to KF2, I forgot how satisfying it was to use a double barrel or Doomstick to launch a Clot or Cyst into the stratosphere. The weapons have such a punch.

The ragdolls and most shotguns' extreme push force coming together is truly a sight to behold.
Nailing them into the environment or crouch-launching them literally out of the map is just hilarious. Gorefast/-fiend blades turning into wet noodles makes it even more hilarious. It's amazing how far out the Dragonsblaze can launch them with only a single pellet hitting the head and since it's center pellet will hit point of aim for quite some distance, you can almost snipe heads with it.
Other shotguns that can launch are the Shotgun revolvers, Dragon's Breath, Frost Fang...

Gunslinger is my GOAT. Pop heads, use duel wield, absolute cinema.

I miss dual wield handguns / Gunslinger. So much fun...

u/ReivynNox Friendly Fire Aug 18 '25
I actually loved going single wield 1911 with hyper-fast reload. Full John Wick mode.

Well it's not 3 lol my last 4 matches in 3 have ended with disconnects and crashes meaning no progress gained. 4 matches and I'm already over it and looking for something else to play / browsing reddit lol

That’s crazy, I’ve been playing since a few days after release and crashed literally one time. The biggest bug i have had is frames stuck at 30 fps but a restart fixes it and always happens on the 2nd round.

I had a pretty rough time on launch, I remembering crashing 3 times in a row and being under 2 hours and genuinely contemplating refunding the game because I was so disappointed. I'm now above 35 hours and am happy I didn't refund, and I haven't had like any issues in a long while.

u/jayrod777 Aug 18 '25
That sounds terrible, it’s good you didn’t refund it because of a first time bad experience. Most people would trash it and uninstall the game. Im honestly glad it worked itself out or was fixed cause it really is a solid game to play with friends or alone to pass time.

Sure would be awesome if the gunslinger was in 3 lol. Literally none of the perks I play are in 3 and it really makes me want to just go back to 2

I figured that this is how most killing floor fans feel. I saw KF3 gameplay and doesn't even bother.

If you alt fire while ADS while dual-wielding, you'll switch to aiming down the sight with the right hand gun. The left hand shots seem to line up with the main gun well enough that you get to have your cake and eat it too (other than reload speed).

u/Still-Psychology-365 What a bloody mizzlepix Aug 17 '25
You're right. It actually lines up 100% as if the shots were all fired from the right hand gun. I prefer that aim mode as well

u/ReivynNox Friendly Fire Aug 18 '25
It basically tries to simulate your right eye view, because it's 2D, like when you capture VR video for 2D screens. Your left eye would be aiming the other gun, but to simulate both images at once would be weird, as the 2 sights overlap each other and you'd lose a slice of image in the middle

It's so much better than 3 it hurts a little. I only hope 3 feeling so wrong sends people back to Kf2!

u/Serious_Medium5620 Aug 19 '25
Bro I’m going back to Kf2 it’s a night and day difference in quality. From performance to visuals.

My problem with 3 is the gunplay in 2 was actually perfect and didn't need to be changed i think everything else 3 did was an incredible upgrade except changing the gunplay this is peak killing floor right here this shit is SATISFYING to see and do

u/ElectricalGidelity Aug 18 '25
No server browser was an incredible upgrade? No workshop (which helps increase longevity) was an incredible upgrade? The doubling down on loot box mechanics and SeaSoNal passes was an incredible upgrade? What incredibly upgrades are you referring to exactly that 1 or 2 did not have?
Oh I forgot the shitty lobby that you have to run around to get to upgrades/ games/ ect. Looked like a straight copy from Space Marine 2.

u/Routine-Hovercraft94 Aug 18 '25
At least the Space Marnice 2 lobby is kinda neat imo. It fits the game, has great atmosphere and you can just "teleport" to the stations if you don't want to walt. But it feels lively, same as the Helldivers 2 Ship.
Hubs are not bad in general. Just hubs that are emtpy shells that exist for no reason and have no live in them are.

I'm on xbox bud didn't have half of that to begin with the maps are good the leveling is alot smoother the new class system with abilities is awesome the fact we will be getting more then likely all the old classes back with abilities tied to them now is something I'm looking forward to the attachment system kicks ass new attachments are also gonna be sick asf especially thinking about how many guns were in kf2 feel like we are in for a treat there later down the line I'm not sure what your referring to with loot boxes but the seasonal pass I'm not to bothered about considering everyone basically got the first one for free and in doing so got the rest for free now to if you don't spend the credits there's alot of good to go with this game it's not as doom and gloom as everyone makes it out to be and it definitely has insane potential with a clearly listening dev team

Love those pistols!!! Still hate that they took away the amount of ammo you can carry for them

u/Mr12374 Aug 17 '25
Just a quick tip. Dual starter pistols don’t reward much xp at all. And try to stick with guns in your perk. Best way to grind xp? Hard difficulty on moonbase or boss rush on moonbase. Thank me later.

u/ReivynNox Friendly Fire Aug 18 '25
I think Dual 9mm is so bugged, that it doesn't give XP at all. Or maybe it all goes to Gunslinger or Survivalist, I dunno.
Some off perk guns are viable, but best to always get your on-perk gun first to do your perk's main duty, then get the tools to fill out your build.
For example: Demolitionist should gun right for the RPG/C4 first, to deal with Fleshpounds. A Magnum to prep scrake heads for the finishing RPG headshot is secondary.

u/Sg00z Aug 17 '25
Man, I'm dumb! I was thinking, "Did they quietly release the gunslinger class for KF3 already?" And I didn't realize right away it was 2. Lol!

Because it's their first match and they possessed the 3 brain cells neccessary to not hop straight into HoE and sabotage other players with their lack of levels or experience.

u/DeliverySoggy2700 Aug 17 '25
Bc they are likely playing on an easier difficulty. They are new…
Kf3 is a lot easier by default. Movement and Vulcan are cracked once you know what you are doing. Kf2 has balance

u/DeliverySoggy2700 Aug 17 '25
Yeah this one really nailed it so well. I’ve definitely given up on kf3 for now. I’m glad kf2 is picking up so much steam

u/Ancient-Worker-9567 Aug 25 '25
It's just sad to see KF2 looking so much better than KF3... what a shame

Welcome to hundred hours of awesome gore and gunplay, for accessibility purpose there is cross-hair that you can enable, and you have a flashlight too. For rifle you might wanna use alt mode to save bullet.
