KF2 Survivalist Perk Guide (Spanish Community Guide, Translated)

This is a translation and paraphrase of a short Spanish-language guide to the Survivalist. The author describes the perk as the class that can fill in for others or use everything to create powerful combinations, with no weaknesses if used well. The skill names below are described from the guide's Spanish wording; for other Survivalist guides see Survivalist guide: skills, weapons, builds and Survivalist perk guide in Portuguese.

Getting started

The Survivalist is flexible: with each level you get a new buff for using whatever you like. The guide lists the skills tier by tier.

Skills

Level 5

• Tactical Reload: faster reload with Commando weapons, SWAT weapons and pistols.
• Heavy Weapons Training: faster reload with Demolitionist and Support weapons and rifles.

These two buff two kinds of player: trash killers and giant destroyers.

Level 10

• Medical Training: +30% healing power; reduces the syringe and dart recharge time by 50%.
• Melee Expert: +20% melee speed, +50% damage dealt, +25% movement speed while using any melee weapon.

These are for survival: heal yourself constantly or use darts more often on allies, and use melee weapons better or run, reach the trader or parry with the knife.

Level 15

• Ammo Vest: carry up to 15% more ammo for all weapons and grenades; your grenade becomes a healing grenade.
• Weapon Harness: carry capacity +5; your grenade becomes a Molotov cocktail.

Either keep your ammo with the same weapons and have self-healing, or carry more weapons, upgrade them and add fire damage.

Level 20

• Spontaneous Zedbustion: zeds you kill have a 30% chance to explode and stun nearby zeds.
• Big Bang (as translated): +40% area of effect for all explosives and 40% explosion resistance.

Either exterminate a horde of trash as they magically explode and stun the others, or keep explosives at hand for multiple kills with a grenade launcher.

Level 25

• Zed Moment - Dementia: all your weapons fire 3 times faster.
• Zed Moment - Lockdown: the power of incapacitation methods of all your weapons rises by 200%.

Here you decide between destroying zeds at every moment or crippling them so they cannot move.

Gameplay

If you want to play it, use your imagination to build combos. You may have other perks' abilities without being the master of any, but you can be the master of combos. You can build a destruction set or a containment set depending on what you want; Weapon Harness lets you upgrade your weapons and carry more.

Final notes

The author's section is shorter than for other perks because the Survivalist already has access to all weapons and combos vary with how you use it. Rate the guide and share your own combos in the comments.
