KF2 Snack Guide: Which Perks Let You Eat While Playing (JP)
This is a humorous, translated Japanese guide by a player who considers Killing Floor 2 easy enough to play with one hand. The author tried eating while playing and ranked the perks by how they let you do it. It is an opinion piece rather than serious strategy advice, but it contains useful observations about control schemes and aim assist. For serious positioning advice see the beginner positioning guide per perk.
Setup assumptions
The author assumes a right-handed player who can use a fork or spoon with the left hand but not chopsticks, with an ordinary keyboard without macros and a mouse with side buttons, and an Xbox controller as the alternative. Result depends heavily on your hardware: all-in-one keyboards, trackpads and ambidextrous players change the difficulty a lot. Gaming keyboards with macro buttons help. Either way, playing while eating rewards player skill.
Perk ratings
| Perk | Overall for eating | Controls | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharpshooter | S | B | A stationary turret position frees the left hand, and easy tasks can still be done with one hand. On a controller, quick sight plus aim assist gives automatic headshots. It gets busy when the team relies on you |
| Gunslinger | A | A | Second best survival after Berserker, fast enough to run away. On a controller, tap-aim at the head for half a second and release, repeatedly, for easy kills. Weapons cost a lot of money |
| Berserker | B | S | Hard to die if you do not take risks. Parry and jump are the only buttons you need, leaving the other fingers free; some even map them to controller triggers and use their feet. Boring once you finish eating |
| Support Specialist, Survivalist | B | B | Survive by double-barrel jumping backwards while clearing with one hand, but it is hard to find time to eat |
The author suggests using Berserker while eating and then switching to another perk afterwards.
Foods ranked by difficulty
- Easy: candy, jerky snacks, dried plums, small chocolates, lemon candy, rice balls and takoyaki.
- Medium: miso soup, ochazuke, foods with thick sauce, omelet rice, snack sticks (careful with spills), floury daifuku, potato chips (use chopsticks), pizza and dry fried noodles.
- Hard: fried rice, udon, ramen, curry rice and ice cream.
- Hardest: curry udon.
Notes on specific foods: pizza cools fast during long fights, so plan the slice count. Fried rice is hard to scoop without looking at your hands, and it hardens as it cools. Soups splash on the monitor, though people who dislike hot food may like eating them while playing. Ice cream drips and condenses; curry splatters and is difficult to clean. The author also notes that the trader skip feature means you can no longer cram food in the trader time as before.
FAQ
- Which perk is best for eating while playing?
- The author rates Sharpshooter first (usage rank S) because a stationary position frees the left hand, then Gunslinger (A) and Berserker (B), with Support Specialist and Survivalist at B.
- Is a controller or keyboard easier?
- With aim assist the Xbox controller can be easier for Gunslinger and Sharpshooter, because quick-sight shots snap to heads. On custom servers without such assist, the keyboard and mouse can be stronger.
- Which foods are easy to eat mid-fight?
- Candy, jerky snacks, small chocolates and rice balls are easy; soups, noodles in broth, curry and ice cream are hard; curry udon is the hardest.
