Headshots were surprisingly low.

Last night? That was because Bobby was giving us a masterclass schooling at the Kill Stealing Explody Overextension Game.

No, on that screenshot.

They finished as medic but the damage vs healing stat suggests otherwise.

Tried playing some Sharpshooter last night. Still frustrating.

What's the issue? Reloading?

Another problem with Sharpshooter: it can be hard to get kills in the early rounds, as you line shots up and then your target explodes/their head disappears before you can pull the trigger.

I've found some matches I'm still using the Winchester on round 3 or 4.

Works pretty well for trash, but sucks for big zeds because your engagement window is tiny.

Tag them with a bullet for the assist XP, then either ignore them if the people in the main lane are on top of it, or move up to engage the zed if they aren't. That's what I was doing as medic when I camped that spot with you.

To be honest, the only time you should be engaging Big Zeds at that range is if you've got a high level, left sided Sharp with a railgun. IE one headshot, one kill on Scrakes.

A lot of Medics don't even look at the other weapons, and save their money for the rifle. If no one is giving you money to buy a Medic Rifle early, you can always buy the SMG. It will double your healing and buffing output, and comes with 240 bullets. Don't buy any ammo for it, use it for 1 or 2 waves, and if you can sell it and buy the rifle, do it ASAP. It only costs 650 Dosh, and sells for 487 Dosh. You only lose 163 Dosh (not including the free SMG ammo) for buying the SMG instead of going through a wave with just your pistol.

If you have a level 20 SWAT it can be the best perk to start with. Pick both armour skills and the one that makes you do 110% pistol damage and spawns you with dual 9mms. You start with 100 armour, MP7 and 2 9mms. Play the first round as SWAT, then change class, keeping whatever remains of your armour and sell the MP7 and one of the 9s. You should get your tier 2 straight away.

You're best off getting ammo and nades from poopers at the trader for the early rounds

I tend to keep the armour stocked up as long as I can with Swat. Makes a huge difference.

Locking heal darts?!

Does it? On early waves? I know you get that special SWAT take no damage thing, but as long as you stay above 1% health, you can heal for free. Even better, with a medic around, chip damage gets you heal darts which gets you medic buffs to movement speed, damage resistance, and damage dealt. If you're on 100% health it's tricky to buff you because the heal darts won't lock on to you.
