Killing Floor: Community Weapon Pack Review (Spectre One)
I initially got this pack thinking I would enjoy having a larger arsenal for more classes. In a sense, I was pleased with the results. In another sense, I was slightly disappointed. Here are my opinions and overview of the weapons:
Buzzsaw Bow - Berserker
A decent weapon that launches a spinning, shrieking sawblade into hoards of enemies. I found this surprisingly useful first time playing with it, as it rebounds off walls (clearing out small rooms and hallways) and cuts through enemies. Best of all, you can hear it as it flies around, allowing the user to find it and retrieve it after it stops flying. Its reload is slow, so if you are someone who cares about speed, I wouldn't recommend.
(Why is it for Berserker? Its not a melee weapon???)
Flaregun - Firebug
I laughed when I first used this weapon. Not in the bad way, but in a "this-is-so-fun-I-cannot-help-myself" way. I actually equip this with almost any class if I have space. It launches a flare (up to 6 before reloading) that has a large hitbox (I missed by about a foot and it still ignites the speciman.) It can be dual wielded for extra fire power, the flare gives off light (helps in darker maps) and ignites in a small radius. Useful for thinning out large hoards of clots and other weaker specimans. Reloads insanely fast on-perk, but off-perk it is pretty slow. Weighs almost nothing, too.
EDIT: You can also dual wield it. Works wonders.
Scythe - Berserker
I was slightly disappointed. I'm not one for collecting Grim Reaper costumes and Scythes, but this weapon came as a disappointment. It swings really slow, but has decent damage. I prefer the katana or even the claymore more than the Scythe.
Tommy Gun - Commando
I keep telling myself I will not come back to this weapon. But I always do. Its cosmetics & sounds are just appealing. It has a fair amount of damage, little recoil, but its accuracy it what hurts me. Its sight is really bad, and hard to use, so I usually end up Semi-Auto (NOTE: Has full Auto and Semi Auto) while hip firing. However, its bullet spread is about 1-2 inches on your screen, which is a bit too much for me.
So in a breakdown:
Buzzsaw Bow - Good if you are in a small map and you want to save ammo, but be weary of its reload.
Flare gun - Good all around, just watch out if you reload at the wrong time.
Scythe - Meh. If you play Berserker alot, go ahead, otherwise its rather forgetable.
Tommy Gun - Fun to use, but not the most practical weapon.
