#Killing floor 2 demolitions weak full#

headshots are common on all ballistic classes, and many of them have to score more then 2 on the scrake to down it. I haven't seen this mentioned before in this thread, I have seen people say that the RPG even when it doesn't explode it should hit pretty dahm hard (they are right here, but that doesn't explain the multiplier for the scrake specifically) and I have seen people say that it is fun decapping scrakes with the RPG.an important part of the game, but less in line with the actual question. it will take either a lot of time or a lot of ammo to do so and is generally ill advised. an example here is a firebug trying to burn down a scrake with the flamethrower. if a unit is resistant to your damage, it would be prudent not to go for them unless you have to.

Some of the points might have overlap but it's late and I don't particularly care to sort them out. Correct me if I'm wrong but after the first successful headshot the scrake is going to rage and good luck hitting another headshot if he decides to go tornado chainsaw massacre.Knockdown usually forces the player to wait quite a while before the second shot can be lined up, during which many things can interrupt the 'combo'.Limited splash damage range means you aren't clearing zeds around the scrake out, which can mean they'll interrupt your 'combo'.Would feel extremely lame(remember gun feel is important to the devs) for such a weapon to require 6+ impact headshots to drop a single zed, especially considering it has a magazine size of 1 and limited reserve ammo. RPG has limited splash damage range and instead focuses on impact damage/impact explosions compared to other explosives.It's not easy getting two(+?) headshots per scrake with all the other chaos a game typically has going on.

Generally every perk has some way of dealing with every zed without requiring full ammo just to get enough damage to kill it.

Like was mentioned before if demo had no way of dealing with scrakes it would be an extremely under-used perk.

Pretty sure you wouldn't be able to use a RPG for much else other than scrakes if you decided to go after them due to ammo limitations.

yeah that is something that always felt off for me, it is the only mob in the game that has the health and resists to be a real pain against explosive heavy teams.yet it comes with a weakness (and not a small one either it is a bloody X4 multiplier) against the top explosive weapons impact damage, and the impact damage of an RPG is also insanely high to boot (150 pionts, on par with a shotgun blast) I do have to note though that having a class balanced around ammo capacity is a recipe for balance problems, as lower ammo counts will have to be offset with the potential of the weapon. ammunition is relatively cheap and for most classes abundant enough, demo is.like all other classes.capable of spamming it. the sirens scream protection is pretty much a must have, also because the other skill is one of the few if not only skills in the game that actually has a downside to picking it (fragmentation rounds reduces the splash damage of all explosive weapons) RPG and M79 have an impact and explosive part in their damage, if they fail to explode, only the impact damage is used in the calculation.I do agree with the fact that the impact damage numbers are on the high end, and the RPG in particular gets a odd benifit versus the scrake. It's just about the low rate of fire, but in a good team that's no deadly weakness.

Scrakes have a unique weakness against the RPG-7.Ĭonclusion: The Demolitionist has almost no weakness but insane strengths.

M79 and RPG-7 at full ammo is not a weakness for 'a limited supply of ammunation', if you're able to find some ammunation boxes.Most of us would use the skill against Siren's scream (Sonic Resistant Rounds).That's too good to deal with a single FP/Scrake. So explosives like RPG-7 and M79 deal full damage at close range to single targets if they don't detonate.Scrakes are resistant to explosives and should be avoided at all costs. Also siren screams will destroy explosives, so against sirens Demolitionists must time their shots for when the siren is not screaming, or rely on a Firebug to keep her occupied. The Demolitionist must rely on the rest of your squad to keep the Zeds at bay so he can place his explosives for maximum effectiveness. Due to the minimum range on some of their weapons, a low rate of fire, and a limited supply of ammunition, the Demolitionist is vulnerable in close quarters. Several Demolitionist weapons will not detonate if they hit a target at close range, inflicting damage to the Zed struck but not exploding. Demolitionists are also doing this with the M79. The most likely best weapon of the game has such an unfair advantage, the RPG-7.
