How to be the ultimate slav

Today you will learn how to be the ultimate shashlik maker. Forget about making cotlet out of zeds and learn how to kill with style
Warning: You need digital deluxe edition

Starting out

If you are reading this, chances are that you are just some western spy that wants to infiltrate the mighty slav Killing Floor players and at this point you have like nothing, pizdec!

Okay, okay, I am done with the rant, let's get to work. You'll need KF2 Deluxe Edition

Setting up your character

If you have digital deluxe and you just looked at the character list, you might've thought "Oi mama, there is no slav character here" and you are right, which is why we are here.

The reason we use digital deluxe as an example is because we are attempting to recreate the shashlik king, in his might and glory. Some versions being better or worse but it's all subjective to taste and your financial situation. (You could even make him if you own Red Orchestra 2, but Digital Deluxe offers already all characters)

The actual Shashlik king

For this, you'll need DJ Skully with the following:

• Emote: The Cossack
  
• Head: Skully Mask Retro skully
  
• Body: Hoodie GearXT Yellow
  
• Accessories Ski Mask; Aviators, Christmas Ushanka

Dohoho, how bly-atyful you'll look!

Slav on budget

Now, if you are a poor slav and you don't want to spend over 10$ (that if you own RO2) to make the Slav King Boris, we are going to focus on Anton as he seems to be the fairly good if.. you lack an ushanka.
V1

• Emote: The Cossack
  
• Head: Anything
  
• Body: Horzine Security Precious, from a weekly
  
• Accessories Ski Mask; Aviators/Retro Sunglasses, German Steel Helmet

Now you are asking, "WHY A STEEL HELMET BLIN. THAT IS NOT SLAV". Well you see, it might not be, but it's better than nothing, as the ski mask clips through the ushanka if used on Anton

V2 And now people, we focus on Masterson, the one you get from KF2, not the classic. This one is truly a budget slav build. and because I am too lazy to write, I am going to just shove a screenshot in, kur-wa.

Gameplay and classes

As a true slav, you must use only russian made weapons. The AK12, the RPG, Vlad 1000 nailgun.
But if you really want to be the most known shashlik maker in the whole game and the eastern bloc, then you need to pick firebug and cook those zeds with your Flamethrower and whatever side arm you prefer.

First, We will focus on the skeptical commando/demo

If you are playing as a commando, try to get the best assault rifle ever, russian made, reliable, cheap like russian wh-; Okay, okay. Here is why: Besides offering the most cheeki breeki experience, it is a direct upgrade to the bullbup, it deals more damage and has a faster rate of fire while burst firing, oppa, even more than the Scar.
At higher levels you'll love this weapon, it is capable of taking down medium zeds and can be useful for decapping scrakes and doesn't suffer from the overkill fallacy as the Scar, as a headshot from an AK and scar will kill trash anyway. Since there aren't any other russian commando weapons, we will focus on the true slavic boom bringer. The RPG 7!

It is a decent offperk for your loadout if you are unsure if your team can handle fleshpounds, it's powerful enough to help get rid off of those big, angry growling gopniks.

If you are going demo you will deal more damage to the fleshpounds and using the AK as a side arm will offer enough defense if the team can't do pizdec. The reason you are taking the AK and not the M203 is because of the reasons above, and the M203 is really dealing the same damage as an AR15 Varmint bullet wise.

The true shashlik-maker

Here we are, we are done, just play firebug and make the best shashlik and bring everything down but don't be an incompetent and rage the big zeds with your weapons until your team is ready. Otherwise you won't be able to go home and celebrate the victory with your babushka while drinking a nice barrel glass of vodka.

The Angry rushing Gopnik

Here we are, berserker. AND FINALLY ALMOST DONE.
The vlad is not a popular weapon in the zerk arsenal mostly because it's only long ranged. But that can help if you are being a tank and using the vampire skill. Just shoot a few nails in a crowd and oop, you are healed. It's best to pick up a pulverizer to throw those fleshpounds back into chernobyl as they are weak to explosions.
Remember, not the most popular arsenal but you'll look cool while using it and it can be effective in the right hands.

Thank you for reading, stay cheeki breeki

u cant do this anymore. when u select aviators the ushanka goes off :(

[[BB] uzi_01]

i think mr. foster looks pretty gopnik, with his leather jacket and his gas mask. you can also put a ski mask ontop of the gas mask lol. Not quite the shashlik king himself, but truly a proud slav

[StarlightTH]

so I just got the stuff n for some reason it keeps exchaning the ushanka and aviators won't let me have both

[ToyotaCamiLvr1998]

i use it with the russian gasmask

[iowa]

uuuuh come on game, I can't use aviators and ushanka together. Meh.

L O L AMAZING guide !

[Bee]

Hmn... I might link the guide below. It would be pointless to create another guide for conflicting cosmetics because there are already 2 or so covering them but you are right about making it visible. Also I will poof now since, bedtime. I am actually happy you got to read this, thank you! <3

[[MM] Cpt_Mustard]

I said no. Anyone is free to do what they want, as long as it's with Credit.

Great Job on the Guide btw, my friend will love it! Like and Fave!
Though i would recommend putting up also a guide how to put on conflicting cosmetics, so people don't get confused

[Bee]

^-^ Sorry for not asking for permission first but I couldn't find you on steam so I settled via linking the reddit profile. I could link your steam profile instead/too if you prefer!

[[MM] Cpt_Mustard]

No no, it's alright. Just a bit surprised
