On-perk Weapons

Strategy

Try to fit into the role your team needs most. If your squad having hard times killing big ZEDs, always low on health or constantly being overrun by groups of small ZEDs you might consider bying RPG-7, HMTech-401 Assault Rifle or Flamethrower and don't forget that the proper skill choice will enhance your weapon abilities.

Trivia

• Almost every character in the game has a wide variety of favourite weapons that belong to the different perks hence every player might be considered as a team's Survivalist. However some characters like Ana Larive and Hayato Tanaka are heavily twisted on only few types of the weapons which likely gives them a specific role.
