KF2 Weapon List by Perk: Tiers, Costs, Weights, Fire Modes

A reader of the community guides often needs one simple answer: which perk does this weapon belong to, and how heavy and expensive is it? This page restates a weapon list that a player compiled in 2018 as a work in progress, ordered by perk. Prices, weights and ammo values reflect the game at that time, so some entries differ from later patches, and several newer weapons are missing. The cost column uses the original figures; entries where the source value looked like a typo are left without a price.

Format in the tables: cost / weight / magazine and reserve ammo. A dash means not applicable.

Berserker

The Berserker is the shield that keeps ZEDs away from the squad by cutting them down. All Berserkers specialise in close combat, and skill choices let them be either a damage resistant dreadnought or a fast skirmisher. Berserkers can block with melee weapons, and Clots cannot grab them.
