In this video I continue right where the Christmas update left off. In this run, I showcase the new weapon for Sharpshooter, The Mosin Nagant on the most recent map Sanitarium.
Starting off with the Mosin Nagant for what's It's worth, it's a decent weapon for Sharpshooter. High accuracy, dealing good damage with a low fire rate, it can take down large zeds with general ease. It has a bayonet attached to the front for close quarters taking care of trash zeds and a parry feature to reduce damage. While the weapon certainly has it's advantages in my option, it's not particularly great in many areas because most Sharpshooter weapons can outshine it in almost any aspect. You don't have a great deal of control over the weapon. Each time you fire you are unable to parry, bash, or reload until the bolt animation finishes. This leaves the weapon feeling sluggish. The weapon isn't that efficient because of it's slow rate of fire. However, the parry feature is more then enough to accommodate for it's massive damage reduction. Paired with It's beautiful animations and sound design it's quite a wonderful weapon. I would like to see more bolt action weapons make a return to Killing Floor 2. The Mosin Nagant serves as a base for the next bolt like weapon.
The map Sanitarium is pretty crammed for how big the map is which was a surprise to me. Right off the bat I will say that Sanitarium was quite difficult to play. The spawns are littered almost everywhere on the map. Leaving you almost no breathing room keeping you in suspense on what's around the corner. There aren't many good spots to hold, the dosh zones are straight suicide and kiting is a nightmare. This wasn't the best map to show the Mosin Nagant on but the weapon was pushed to it's limits I feel. The maps detail is exquisite. The theme of the map is cultish. It's original in its own design which I like! Periodically throughout the waves the map alters it's appearance hinting heavily on it's cultish theme. Hopefully we'll see more theme like maps being made I do enjoy showing them off.
Thanks for watching! The next upload will show gameplay of the G18 and Riot Shield for SWAT
