Summary
Killing Floor 2is a wave-based zombie shooter in which players must face off against increasingly difficult enemies, all the while upgrading their arsenal with a unique range of powerful weapons and skills. It can make a greatalternative toCall of Duty Zombieswhile still essentially following the same style of gameplay.
The Berserker class is one of the more specialized classes in the game, focusing on melee damage and increased health in order to hold off and carve through enemies. Berserkers will gain bonuses to melee attacks and have a wide range of devastating weapons to choose from. From oldclassics like katanasand greatswords to modified futuristic weapons with special charging effects, Berserkers have plenty of choice when it comes to cutting down Zeds.
8Katana
This Classic Sword Is An Ideal Starting Point For Berserkers
The Katana is one of the earliest weapons Berserkers will be able to access from the Trader. This light weapon puts an emphasis on speed rather than power, though when upgraded, it can be just as devastating as many of the much heavier melee weapons while still retaining its fast swing speed.
Overall, the Katana is an excellent and versatile weapon that leaves plenty of carry room for other weapons such as drones or firearms. While it may not always be thebest handling weapon, with some swings missing their target or falling short, it can do plenty of damage when it connects and can take out some lower-tier enemies in a single hit.
7Zweihander
A Decent Two-Handed Sword To Deal With Lower Zeds
The Zweihander is a large, two-handed longsword that prioritizes power and damage output over swing speed or defense. While the weapon can be used to block incoming attacks, it is best used when advancing, as this will provide bonus damage.
The Zweihander can be unlocked by players who possess eitherKilling Floor 2 Digital DeluxeorChivalry: Medieval Warfare. Much like other DLC items in the game, it is possible to gain access to them simply by playing in thesame match as another playerwho owns them.
6Eviscerator
A Unique Cutting Weapon That Gives The Berserker Class Some Ranged Options
The Eviscerator is an excellent dual-purpose weapon that can be used to either bash opponents or fire off saw blades in order todismember them from a distance. The projectile damage from saw blades is significant, and the melee attack can always be used to follow up on any surviving Zeds.
Although the Eviscerator has a relatively low ammo capacity, it should still be enough to get through several mid-stage waves, and the saw blades can often take out several opponents at once if they are lined up correctly.
5Blood Sickle
A Powerful Two-Handed Scythe That Is Ideal For Mid-Tier Enemies
The Blood Sickle is a tier 4 Berserker weapon available to players who have or are playing alongside a player who has the Armory Season Pass 2. This slashing weapon can be used to take out multiple enemies at once, particularly with the use of its alternative double-sweep attack.
While neither the fastest nor the strongest melee weapon in the game, it is still very solid, particularly against mid-tier enemies and even in the later stages of a game. It may struggle up against bosses, however, but fortunately, due to its lower carry weight, it can be used in conjunction with other items.
4Bone Crusher
A Powerful Combination Capable Of Taking Down Most Enemies
The Bone Crusher is a club and shield combo that provides Berserkers with a great option for defense while still dishing out high amounts of damage. When upgraded, players can also use a shield bash attack of up to 175 Damage.
Overall, this weapon provides a great choice for players who prefer more of a heavier ‘tank’ style of play, such as blocking certain chokepoints and being less mobile. While the swinging attacks are slower than many of its rival weapons, the Bone Crusher is still a powerful weapon, and the shield it provides is certainly noteworthy.
One Of The Best And Fastest Berserker Weapons In The Game
Static Strikers are among the best melee weapons in the game, and unlike most melee weapons, players will haveone in each hand, leading to double the attack speed and overall damage output. When upgraded, they can be supremely effective and can even take down harder enemies and bosses.
While the standard attacks rely more on speed than strength, they can usually take out low-to-mid tier Zeds witha couple of punches. For larger Zeds, a special electronic attack can be used, which will apply additional shock damage.
2ION Thruster
A Powerful Sword Capable Of Causing Mass Burning Damage
The ION Thruster is a powerful heated sword that will be available to players who either own or play with someone who owns the Armory Season Pass. The ION Thruster has several attacks, including a special charged attack that burns enemies.
A relatively fast swing speed combined with high damage make it supremely effective forwiping out hordesof even mid-tier Zeds such as Sirens and Husks. Overall, it is a great choice in the later waves when enemies become progressively more advanced.
1Battle Axe
This Heavy Axe Deals Out More Damage Than Any Other Melee Weapon
Dealing out 250 Damage with a standard swing, the Battle Axe is one of the strongest weapons inKilling Floor 2in terms of damage output. As a result, the Battle Axe is capable of taking out multiple smaller Zeds in one hit, and it can even take down larger enemies like Scrakes or Fleshpounds single-handedly with a barrage of hits.
While this comes at a cost of slow attack speed and a high carry weight, it is an even trade-off considering just how much force this weapon is able to generate. While it may not be suited to players who prefer a faster,more agile build, the Battle Axe is easily one of the most devastating weapons in the Berserker’s arsenal.
