Best Ninja Weapons in Killing Floor 3
As you may suspect, having a melee weapon isa must for the Ninja. Thebest sword is the Lightweight Katana, which is the most expensive, but is more than worth saving up for. This class’s best selling point is that you won’t need to purchase ammo for the first few rounds if you focus on fighting smart with your starting sword, letting you save up to jump to the best sword in only two rounds or so.
You’ll then want to save up forone of the bows, ideally the final option, Minimal + Large. This class will struggle just a bit against stronger enemies, and this bow offers a great damage output and rate of fire, usually to be saved exclusively for these bigger and harder to kill enemies.
Tips for Playing Ninja in Killing Floor 3
This class’s basics arefighting in melee and landing a lot of parries. Parrying is as simple as blocking right before a hit makes contact, and a lot of upgrades in this skill tree will give additional buffs every time you land a parry. Your Caltrops should be saved for stronger enemies you’re able to’t cut in a single swing, as most enemies will be cut through like butter with minimal effort.
You’ll want tobuyarmor upgrades or fixesas soon as possible and make sure you always have enough syringes, as this class will probably end up taking the most damage. While it may seem easy to just keep swinging repeatedly, work in as many parries as you can to take advantage of the additional buffs and make your following melee attacks even stronger.
