Been playing a decent bit online, lately. I’ve really come to love KF’s multiplayer and game play in general. One thing I don’t love, however, is all the rage quitting that seems to happen. Just because you die doesn’t mean you have to quit… And here’s a few more ‘tips’.

1. Not everyone needs to be a Medic. I’ve had maps where 3-4 people were Medics. Most likely just to get the cheap body armor, but really — it isn’t needed. One is typically enough.

2. Stick together — doesn’t typically happen on public servers. It can be hard, especially when playing with people that are rather stubborn or just stupid, but try to stick together as much as possible — the game is far easier this way. (think I’ve said this before, but it needs to be repeated)

3. You don’t have to be next to the shop every round. Often finding a location that is easily defensible and somewhat close to all the trader locations is best. For example, on the farm — near the bridge with the truck. It’s wide open, well lit, and you can survive quite well there. Not recommended for the Patriarch, however.

4. Trap the Patriarch. Find a nice room with two doors and some cover. Seal one door and leave the other open — do not seal both. Once he comes in have one or two people close and seal the door behind him. Attempt to destroy him. Note: might not work well on the harder difficulties.

5. Trying to use a room for defense and your doors getting destroyed? Plant a crouched Berserker with a chainsaw in the doorway and let him tear up most specimen!

6. In case you didn’t know, you can toss money with ‘b’ — don’t be greedy, give extra cash away to teammates that need it. The better they perform the better your chance of survival.

7. For Commandos and Sharpshooters, go for head shots. (SS’s will have to, anyway) It tends to save ammo and still nets you kills. And I’d focus on the stronger specimen, Support Specialists with a shotgun can clean up the numerous weaker specimen far better.

8. Grenade spam can be very handy against larger foes. Also, if you’re trapped, surrounded by a horde of specimen and about to die — launch as many grenades at your feet as you can! You’ll get blown up, but so will the specimen.

9. Remember your Medic! If you get low on health run to them and stand still. Odds are if they are doing their job they will whip out the injector and heal you up. Don’t force them to run you down.

10. Berserkers — I know it can be hard to get kills when the Sharpshooter and Commando keep killing them before you can get in range — but don’t run off too far! It’s easy to get overwhelmed and I’ve seen several Berserkers get killed when they went after more kills.
