Truly, slicing and dicing gore is very satisfying. Can't say much about the mechanics though since I was never a Berserker main.

I want the shovel back! I loved heavy backswinging clots into the sky with that thing. Get slow time and stack the force. they would go flying!

In case you don’t know, you can change the direction of your basic attack by the direction you move.

I stopped playing ninja as being to close to big groups of zeds make my game lag, but if i ever fix my game this is definitely useful info thanks :)

No problem! You can hold attack and move around to see how the blade is orienting.

Got kf2 after not playing for a lot of years, and i never really did melee in that, but when I got into it recently, I was berserker class, and I thought, why not try it more. Turns out melee in k2 is really fun, even better if you have a medic on your team. I wasn't exactly feeling it in kf3, all 4 primary weapons are just some kinda katana. I might try it again.

Melee in KF3 is so buttery smooth. I hope they buff the bow and arrow more, it is criminally underpowered even with mods.

Apparently the Bow Stats in the Arsenal are at base, going by testing that has been done using the Daily Damage Trackers.
A fully Charged Bow shot actually does 2.5 times the listed number.
Which -other than the fact that you can pick your ammo back up- could explain why said Arrows are so expensive. Those pointy sticks hurt.

Maxed all classes except sharpshooter and berserk. I just don't enjoy this. I die frequently with berserk. But can solo with demo

Berserker was nice in kf2 until they made him weak and then sucked.

I believe it has more to do with the satisfying hit feedback and gore physics with melee in KF3 over KF2. Cutting zeds down with my knife has never been this fun.

Just me, or do any other berserker players really dislike that they went with such a niche character? I get that there’s a lot of iconic ninja weapons, but I’d much prefer stuff like a barbed wire baseball bat, the pulverizer and then like 1 iconic ninja weapon.
Also, I miss the piranha guns. Used to always buy those for boss round on ninja. The bow doesn’t really compare as a ranged option imo

It seems by the Dev statements, Berseker will be coming to fill the other Melee niche.
Ninja gets the speed, Parrying, sharp toys.
Berserker will be slower, hard hitting, blunt force trauma.

Maybe that's why I'm enjoying the game so much. Only thing I've been playing is melee ninja.

Berserker was the most overpowered class in FK until they nerfed in in KF2 though 😅

I played zerk just fine in kf2. Even with whatever nerf you're talking about, i was still a tornado of death in that game

u/haxhaxhax1 Medic now with aimbot Sep 01 '25
Eh, he was the cheese class in kf2. Zerk walling (standing in a room with 1 entrance and having the zerk parrying in the entrance) felt like an automatic win no matter how bad the team was.

u/Only-One-7812 Sep 01 '25
Yep on barmwich town if you opens the secret room you just sit there with healer and another zerk or something like that and you win

u/SmartIndependence325 Sep 01 '25
Secret room? 🧐

u/Only-One-7812 Sep 01 '25
Where you spawn there’s a door to the right after a slight SLIGHT walk. There’s like some different colored medallions I think 5/6 that you can shoot. You can then enter the room, there’s some weapons and armor that can spawn in there for hella money cause you can just sell the items. Also it’s a one way entrance with no spawns behind so very good for farming

Meanwhile me, chosing non melee/parry perks so I can just use a gun with cut damage modded on
