Zerker is utterly weak now.

You must just be really bad

I win with zerker just as much as before. Sometimes when I see posts like this, It just reaffirms itā€™s a style thing. I think play-style has a lot to do with it.

I havenā€™t used it in a while when I did all I would hear is how itā€™s not fair using a berzerker

Actually with a zerker and maybe even hunter, I mayhe would try to throw a few bear traps down in the doorways and then proceed to slam the roof.

Now I really wish I had room for bear traps on my Scout.

Jealous!

If you try this please report back with your observations, thank you.

this is how not to use a combistick

you donā€™t use a combi stick

Probably. But i used to play zerker a lot at first, but now im playing hunter and scout mainly(Mostly hunter ofc). And when im back to zerker sometimes it feels so slow, so hard idk. And stamina OMFG there is literally no stamina! IDK it s mostly playstyle probably you are right

Iā€™ve been rolling with traps, netgun and just wristblading FT to shreds. If there was a nerf to melee dammage, I donā€™t notice it one bit.

I find it interesting how so many People say the Berserker is weak. I see it as People subtly admitting theyā€™re not approaching as they should @Peacemaker94.

Iā€™ve seen a lot of People saying His Leap is too short and slow. While compared to the other two Classes, that may be the case. But when that Leap is used offensively against Fireteams to confuse them?? Itā€™s hella useful. Iā€™ve also used the Berserkerā€™s Melee in combination with the Net Gun works well amidst Peoplesā€™ constant His Melee is too weak!! Comments. And Iā€™m not running Fearless either.

No problems hereā€¦

I find a lot of these claims unfounded and more or less People bitching that a Match hasnā€™t gone their way.

Yeah, zerks in a good spot right now. You canā€™t just rush in a full team spaming melee and win in most cases . You gotta have some CC going on, or soften them up before going nuts. Net gun works like a charm.

Good thing about net gun, as even once it is out of ammo it looks like it would vacuum your car seats and maybe some pet dander really nicely.

I completely disagree it jus takes more skill now I think and when anybody after the new added things for him play they probably lost and thinks heā€™s bad now I run him all the time and heā€™s still very deadly and powerful very easy wins.šŸ‘ jus run a net gun or elder sword and disc u prob wonā€™t loose lmao

Wrong. Leap slam deals an absurd amount of damage. Any weakened Fire Team member will get down most of the time from a splash unless they were full health. You never Leap Slam on Full health targets. Landing 1 or 2 bow/plasma caster shots is an easy down with a splash. You should weaken them down before going in. Yes the change made it really hard for zerkers to just no skill, rush in with combi stick, get 1 kill then jump out.

And the fireteam can completely negate that by popping off a stim and getting back to full health and then blast the pred into kingdom come.

#34

Stims arenā€™t instant they take a few seconds to heal up and againā€¦you donā€™t leap slam on healthy targets or when they got vision on you. That would just be playing bad.

Iā€™ve been experimenting with Plasma Pistol(since it was buffed in dmg) + Smart Disk combo, on Zerkers now basically making a Tanky Ranged Zerker hybrid (since they nerfed their melee dmg) with LightBender, Adrenaline Boost, and Down Range(makes most sense) and have been having success, its interesting ā€¦Can get into gun fights more without taking as much dmg as a Hunter or Scout would(if it comes down to taking heat) and still have the xtra bonus of carrying xtra gear still as Zerker.
