The A-tier perks like Sharpshooter and Engineer are strategic and more curated toward team play. They're situational and not as optimum as the ones in the S tier.

• Engineer: The Engineer is a powerful character perk in Killing Floor 3. He can use his twin turrets in combination with his power suit to drop the zeds. He can throw lethal sonic blasts and use his throwable Bouncing Betty to clear hoardes of enemies. He gets damage boosts by gaining more proficiency bonuses. Engineer is a curated game for beginners and experienced players who want to indulge in strategic play.
• Sharpshooter: This character perk is curated for squad-play. The Death's Hand gadget is a forearm-mounted launcher that fires a homing arrow that locks on target. She's also equipped with the Dryo-grenade utility that can slow down enemies for a limited time. This allows the squad to clear the path and move towards the objective. Sharpshooter is a support operator that has limited value in solo-play.

These perks might not be the optimal choice for those who are looking for solo play. This tier's features support perks that assist the team with healing abilities or damage amplifiers like the Firebug perk.

• Medic: Medic is a support character that can heal enemies in Killing Floor 3. He has limited usability in solo-play but can be useful in squad matches. His Sanctum gadget enforces a barrier that heals teammates while also dealing damage to incoming opponents. He's equipped with the Biotic Grenade that can weaken enemies, allowing the team to finish the kill.
• Firebug: Firebug is a powerful character that can blast zeds with her powerful incendiary devices. She is a pyro expert who uses a ring of fire to corer enemies.
