In Killing Floor 2 the playable characters differ only in voice, personality and how they react to events. They are cosmetic and do not affect gameplay, but each character has favorite weapons they comment on when you pick them up or use them. This Russian community guide lists those favorites per character and per class, and suggests a challenge: play only with the favorite weapon of your character when waves start to feel boring. The guide also includes detailed stat tables from the wiki for every weapon. See also the weapons catalog and the cosmetics page.
