What is the best weapon for survivalist?

[QueenoftheUndead]

I was wondering if anyone knew what the best weapon for survivalist is...

Survivalist doesn't really have an individual best weapon, but last I remember(which was before the latest summer event went live so it's probably changed) the meta loadout was:
Boomstick
RPG
M14 or Katana.

Basically any weapon that's just generally considered good is effective on survivalist. RPG, Boomstick, maybe the Rail or AMR. Personally I really like the trench gun on him.

my favourite was Rpg+Boomstick+Medic Assault Rifle

Could also try pairing some weapons with the Freezethrower. Helps a lot for you and your team when you can immobolize large zeds for easy headshots. Some good perk synergy there and I hope the rework includes more skills for Survivalist to focus on incaps and assisting the team.

Medic Rifle + RPG + Medic Pistol.
You can help healing, clear trash and big zeds.

People will call me out on this as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but honestly the eviscerator is the best weapon to stick with.

That and the starting weapons. Your best bet is to save and scounge as much as you can until you can afford it, which shouldn't take too too long. Go with the med nades and melee expert and just run around the map scounging for any ammo packs to use for self healing or the nades to kill trash. Once you have enough, get the eviscerator with extra ammunition and zedsplosion as well as incaping lvl 25 perk skill.

You'll save on ammo, armor, and can pick up the saw blades later on as well as give dosh to your team.

Didn't the eviscator get nerfed or something?

Doesn't matter
it still does good against trash mediums and big zeds you can still block and shoot the saws. Plus tou get the melee expert buffs for faster speeds

ok thanks

I think it is any weapon that has two perk damage in their own. Any med weapon, and the M16 for now. I've been claiming to add an AR with underslung shotgun. It isn't an over the top weapon, the masterkey attachment exist in two varietys: pump action and box mag bolt action.

Personally, I think the best loadout possible so far has:

M99 AMR
Level 1 HMTECH101
Level 1 M16

M99 for the big guys
Medic Pistol for healing
M16 for everything else

I dunno, i feel like the M203 grenade launcher could help in a pinch for Quarter Pounds.

Also, i dunno if grabbing any high tier melee weapons would be worth it for Survivalist. Bone Crusher or Static Strikers seem like an excellent way to spend less dosh on ammo, though I don't trust the Survivalist's lack of Vampire to melee gorefiends, husks, bloats or large zeds.

Freezethrower and med pistol to support the team. Not freezethrower if solo or you are last man standing.

[Littlefoot]

There's no real single best weapon for the perk if you ask me. To be as good of a survivalist that you can be, you need multiple weapons.

And for that i prefer to use the Desert Eagles, M16, P90 and Medic Pistol. It makes you fairly versatile with your ability to take out zeds, in addition to keeping your team healed a bit.

Normally i use freezethrower and seeker six. Useful teamsupport and decent damage dealing with crowd control.
I think that seeker six is much more versatile compared to RPG and can bring down big zeds quick enough.
