[1013][GEN] Survival Of The Best Dressed

If you have been playing KAG long enough, you may start to notice that certain types of players will wear certain types of hats.

Since some hats are geared towards use of either of the three classes, knowing which one is designed for which class may give you a small advantage before you even start to battle.

For example, there are a few hats geared specifically towards the use for knight. Hats that look absolutely awful on any class besides knight. If someone is wearing that hat as a knight, you can assume that they primarily play knight. Knowing this might keep you from getting in a fight with someone who is way above your skill level.

Even a person's general skill level could be guessed upon their choice of hat. Hats like the horse head and scuba helmet were hats that used be to be used by everyone because of how awkward they looked when worn. Now not many people wear them besides really unskilled players or ones with an above average amount of skill. Another example would be the "headless" hat, which only a few people know how to use (not even me ). People who use the "headless" hat are almost always those with a high skill level.

Also knowing which hats are only able to be worn by certain people is to your advantage. Typically those who have these unique hats have been around for a long time and because of that, have gained quite a bit of experience playing the game. For example: Arcrave with his shark king hat.

But not only does knowing what a hat represents help you in the game, but what hat you pick physically could be to your advantage.

For example, hats that do not show team color above your shoulders allow you to pick up enemy bodies and keep the enemy team from knowing which team you are truly on. Also, having smaller hats that don't add any extra height to your character allows you a small advantage when hiding in dark tunnels. While having a larger hat allows a bit of extra room in dodging enemy attacks. Since your hitbox doesn't change with the hat you choose, having a large one makes people think they have a larger target to hit, when they actually don't.

 

Hats off to your guide. (Applause) Thank you, thank you. This guide should help some people figure out others' strategies. Only problem? People like me who change their hat every so often just because it gets stale.

 

And then there's me and the two other people that use the zed head

 

You can also turn the odds into your favour, many people (sometimes myself) wear the default "pleb" head, as a strategic move. A lot of the times people will be less focused on you and many noobs wear this head so its a great confusion for enemies to know who is who.

Tell Gurin that lol, he can't even play because hes targeted 24/7

 

@Duplolas
What would someone with the hat below imply the person as?

Just curious.

 

Either a new player or someone who has been around for awhile (not necessarily good).

Just IMO.

 

Okay.. Then I seem like a pleb..
Underestimation is good..

 

What about bald head with big beard? What kind of players wear it?

Gosh, "wearing head" sounds so wrong. Like you ripped off someone's head and now you wear it lol.

 

Relying on heads to give your pre-battle information could actually be a disadvantage.

If you treat every enemy like one with 0 ping and years of experience, there is no chance to underestimate an enemy.

 

Really it is just getting to know the community you are playing against or with. Most of the time, long time players keep the same head, so you kinda get used to who to watch out for on the battlefield.

 

I always use horned stereotypical viking hat because it is so pleasant for my eyes, and haven't seen many others use it. In modded servers with Blowjob-mod, I have my custom cupcake-hat

 

^ how do necro

But I always use default because it won't let me keep my Cubone head .

 

How do you get headless? I've looked all throughout the files, and the only thing I would guess to do would be to edit the head number in autoconfig

 

I believe that it's no longer possible.

 

I wear the the topped hat
