Quick way to kill a scrake?

[Beefy.Wisdom]

I've been having issues killing off scrakes without having other people kill him for me.
What class is best to kill him and what way is the easiest to kill him?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Beserker. Though if you're not playing the beserker, shooting him in the head with the Winchester will stun him momentarily. Same with the katanna. Be warned that if other people attack him, he'll rage and damage you.

Sharpshooter is the best at killing Scarkes IMO since most of the weapons (crossbow especially) can stun him which makes him an easy target. If you're gonna use the LAR against him you have to be at least level 5 to stun him (though you can still flinch lock him with it at lower levels):

Or if you wanna have some fun you can flinch lock him too:

Support Specialists can also uppercut them with the Hunting Shotgun though it takes a bit of practice:

Definitely watch Falz's videos and/or check out his channel for more help and tutorials. At your level I'd recommend sharpshooter with LAR/Musket (need level 5) or Crossbow for easy scrake kills and at lower difficulties (below Suicidal) can you flinch-lock the scrake with katana attacks to the head.

For some fun you can also kill a 6 Man HoE Scrake with any dual pistols other than 9mm as lvl 6 sharp shooter :)

Fun Fun

A level 6 Sharpshooter can take out a scrake in two shots with the crossbow. HOE difficulty

[GunsForBucks]

A level 0 Firebug can take out a scrake in one shot with the crossbow. Solo HOE. If you don't mind not getting the kill credit.. he just goes into a slow motion rage and bleeds out. lol

Well, how do the other people kill scrakes for you. Just do what they do.

And if you have been having issues with killing scrakes, but someone kills them for you, then what is really the problem. There is no point in switching to becomming a scrake killer if someone already is. Unless you just want to know anyway.

[Inceppy]

As said, Beserker (melee stun-lock) and Sharpshooter (crossbow and headshot damage multiplier) are the best classes.

Just to put this out there... for Zerk there is the "flinch-lock" and "stun" ... a stun is when he drops his head.

You can not un-stun a scrake being flinch-locked since he is not stunned to begin with.

When you have a scrake stunned he won't un-stun from fire unless he is hit with something that should stun him and misses... so a commando opening up on a scrake will have no effect beyond dealing damage.. he cannot be unstunned by most weaponry.

If I am being serious as a zerk I use the alt-fire on the Claymore, I fnd the Kat can be fun but pointless beyond that, I normally just go from axe to claymore and not waste my money on the Kat upgrade. Some places the Kat is a perfect fit... like the container wave in KFO Frightyard... no FPs or Scrakes so the Kat is perfect for use there... I even made one of my own KFO map to have a wave like that. On the crane wave a level 6 zerk on HOE solo can stand still for 2 mins. and kill everything, FPs Scrakes... with a Kat you would be swarmed while swat-flinching a Scrake and pummeled by a FP before you could kill it.. the Kat just does not deal out damage fast enough.

Still not getting the hate on the AA-12, and I'm a level 4 Support, not to mention level 4 Sharpshooter, and level 3 everything else... It goes through ammo fairly fast if you just spam full-auto, and doesn't deal as much per hit as other shotguns, but it has advantages in ammo capacity and rate of fire.

Why the hate?

[Chaos Marine]

No idea why myself. I love it and it's my favourite weapon in the game.

All the level 6's who usually play on Normal then try Suicidal/ HoE and get themselves killed and endanger the whole team/ cause a wipe with their AA12. Then respawn and do it all over!

Probably just some random reason for kids to rage that contains very little logic.

And exactly how do they endanger the team with an AA-12 unless it's friendly fire mode? Undoubtably, the Hunting Shotgun + KSG-12 combo is superior for taking down tougher enemies (at least, in my experience), but an AA-12 is fine to bring along for quick takedowns of swarms of enemies. It's also not bad for taking down Scrakes/Fleshpounds if you use it correctly.

It's not the weapon, it's how you choose to use it.

It doesn't work on suicidal/HOE since you end up taking damage.
