Burglar is OP. Just too OP.

[Naoki]

Burglar is overpowered for normal run. Being able to hot wire any cars is too good. Should be nerfed.

1 eletrician 2 mechanic same thing...

They just get it a few days before anybody else. big deal.

Having the less chance of breaking the window lock is good as well. I don't really have problems for looting when playing as burglar. Minus six points to choose burglar might be too cheap.

It is really strong, and an abundance of cars can help you barricade a base quite effectively. Zeds cannot break a window or door with a car in the way.

Burglar is solid, played them for a long time, running a ranger currently to try foraging.

I like how somehow burglar is OP, but veteran, security guard, and lumberjack aren't OP.

Veteran completely removes an entire debuff from the game, something nothing else in the entire game provides. Security guards require less sleep than any other character. Lumberjacks attack faster and do more damage with axes, something no other characters can do.

But the guy who can sometimes avoid breaking a lock (locks don't matter because you can smash anything locked with any character no matter what) and gets a day or two headstart on acquiring a vehicle (something any character can do no matter what) is OP.

Very surface level assessment. Oh well. If anything, the buff to nimble is the OP part. But I'm guessing you don't even know what nimble does.

Burlglar provides you with good stats and hotwiring from day 1, but you can easily get hotwiring without burlgar in like 2-3 days at the worst, while also spending your points into something better both early or long term.

Bro, its a game with a learning curve.... maybe if you like a game be nice to people in your community, support their funding. not get the game down-voted for a toxic community.

i read these because im newer and it helps me learn about features and mechanics of the game, i found this post very useful.

im dumb, and im ok with that... are you? my surface level assessment of you; call of duty community is the community you belong in.

Burglar is bad character

I just grind electrical 1 and mechanics 2 so can Hotwire cars as a repair man. So I don’t know what makes burglar so good. Sneaking is entirely not necessary in this game if played right

Also he smack zomvies and break his weapons. He won’t have maintenance 1 for 1000s of kills.

What’s the point sneaking around looting a machete when machete break? Or katana? Or he sneak around find a katana katana breaks :|

Burglar - Hotwire cars and open windows easier = Hotwire Cars /meh the ability to do it comes pretty early for everyone else, but opening windows easier isn't to bad and = unobtainable

Lumberjack - Move through forestry I think ~40% faster + Swing axes faster = both unobtainable and rather helpful depending on your playstyle.

Forest Ranger - Move through forestry ~80% faster = unobtainable and insanely useful to ditch out on anything chasing you.

Engineer (maybe mixing this one up with another profession but..) unique recipes nobody else can get, mostly bomb related. Usefulness is questionable since I've never used it.

Veteran dumps a debuff //but// is not unobtainable as you basically stop getting panicked around a year or two in /if/ you make it that far, it's 'okay' but obviously can't say 'unobtainable' for this one.

Security Guard's nightowl perk is okay, and unobtainable.

- Essentially
I'd never say Burglar was OP, it's 'decent' at best mostly depending on the sort of playstyle your going for. If anything, I'd say "most overpowered" goes to the profession : Game knowledge. Because none of these professions really do anything I'd call god-tier, but in the right hands utilizing the right playstyle they do stand out as superior.

Psst. If you think burglar is too OP and you're not having fun with it, DON'T pick it as your starting class. Choose something else smh.

I think that's only against trees, so it's mainly a convenience when you want to do construction projects, but it won't help in combat.

Fire Officer is op. Electrical 1 is easy, dismantle around 20-30 watches. Mechanics 2 same thing, just take some parts from random car and put them back. Its like a 2 day thing

[BigBthefluffyredneck]

Burglar is dumb. It’s always better to smash a window because I’d like to know if a house is gonna start wailing right off the bat. It’s easy to get mechanics 2 and electrical 1, just read the book and you’re solid.

I've tried burglar runs and it's just not that good of an occupation IMO. It's much easier to either kill or lure zeds away from an area than it is to attempt to sneak past every zed.
