    • https://killingfloor2.com/

We at Tripwire firmly believe in establishing and maintaining open lines of communication with the community. Final decisions on game designs and new features are always made internally, however, feedback from you, the community, provides us with valuable insight as to what the players would like to see next. As such, we have crafted another survey for you to participate in.

The process of this survey will be multifaceted. Part 1 will begin with broad strokes, asking for your feedback on a variety of categories. As we collate this data, the development team will then determine the top areas that the community has expressed interest in. Part 2 of the survey will delve deeper in to the top choices asking more granular questions. The end result is to have a better understanding of where the community’s interests lie, which will help bring an even more exciting and fulfilling experience to everyone. As always, changes in a development schedule occur for a variety of reasons, so if what you voted on is not something that makes its way to the LIVE game, that does not mean it never will.

If you’d like to participate, please click the following link: Killing Floor 2 Survey The survey will be up through the 2018 holiday.

Aside from the above survey, the team already has plans on what we’d like to bring your way in 2019. As such, you can expect new additions and continued improvements for the following:

Additional Weapons - Providing new and exciting weapons is a staple in Killing Floor 2. The tradition will continue throughout 2019. To provide a bit of a sneak peek, one of the new weapons currently slated to launch in early 2019 (timeframe subject to change), is called ‘The Laser Cutter” (working title). Let your imagination flow! I’d provide more information but the Clots wouldn’t play nice!

Additional Maps - What would a Killing Floor game be without a unique, crazy, and fun filled map to play in? We’re already working on maps that we believe will be extremely fun to experience. Do you want another sneak peek? Well, I wouldn’t want to spill anything so you’ll just have to wait a bit more to see what comes your way!

Major Events - The Summer Sideshow, Halloween Horrors, and Twisted Christmas events are favorites amongst many of you. We know we enjoy them!. These events will be making a return in 2019. What will be new with these events, you ask? Time will tell!

Objective Mode - Currently, we have the following objective mode types that many of you are quite enjoying; Operate & Control, Wield and Repair, Escort, and Stand your Ground. Next year, we will introduce a new objective mode type and a variation on an already existing mode. More details to come later on.

Quality of Life Additions - The team has been collecting and reviewing feedback from our internal community team, forums, emails, and recent surveys. Our goal here is simple. We want to enhance your experience by providing QOL additions that make your stay that much more enjoyable. We still want to hear from everyone on what QOL additions they’d like to see, so please be sure to provide your feedback in the aforementioned survey.

AMA (Ask me Anything) - You’ve got questions! We’ve got answers! Along with developer interviews, we’d love to interact with the community in real time. We’re currently in discussion about hosting an AMA online event in early 2019. This is where all community members will have an opportunity to ask all those burning questions about KF2. AMA date and developer attendance specifics will be announced at a later date. Stay tuned for more details in early 2019 by following our Facebook and Twitter social media outlets.

• Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/tripwireinteractive/
  
• Twitter -https://twitter.com/KillingFloor

Bugs - The team will continue to review all reported bugs and look to address them as quickly as possible, while still maintaining the quality of each update to exceptional standards. As a reminder, you may report bugs at the following locations:

Official Tripwire KF2 Forums -https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/forum/killing-floor-2

Official Tripwire KF2 Steam Forums -https://steamcommunity.com/app/232090/discussions/1/

Continued Polish & Refinement - As mentioned previously, the teams have accomplished a lot of goals this past year. A portion of those goals being polish and refinement. We fully intend to not only maintain the quality bar but raise it moving forward.

Community Presence - Interacting with the community and keeping everyone up to date is very important to us. Our community team does a wonderful job interacting with our playerbase. We want to increase our presence in new and exciting ways. This could range from developer presence on our KF2 forums to staff interviews where we not only provide a fun factorial on our KF2 developers but also an opportunity for you to to post questions that you’d like a particular developer to respond to. Want to know where an artist gets their inspiration from? Want to know how programmers solve unique and complicated bugs? Want to know how designers begin to design a weapon? These are just some of the questions that we’d love to answer for you. We hope to have more information about this as we move in to the 2019 calendar year

As stated by the Clots during The Summer Sideshow event “This is the happiest place on Earth! The KF2 community energizes us every waking day. Your passion for Killing Floor 2 does not go unnoticed and we want to take this final moment to say THANK YOU. Without you, Killing Floor 2 would not exist.

2019... here we come!

Best,

Balance (From the Beta feedback)
Weapons

• Berserker
  
  • Battle Axe
    
    • Heavy attack speed reduced by 10%
  • Fire Axe
    
    • Heavy attacks now have a chance to stun
• SWAT
  
  • Tommy Gun ( cross perk with Commando )
    
    • Bullet spread increased by 195%
      
    • Recoil reduced by 13%
      
    • Upward recoil reduced by an additional 15%
      
    • Fire rate increased by 20% (600 RPM to 720 RPM)

Designer Note - These adjustments were in response to provided community feedback via the BETA 1 survey. The Fire Axe lacked gameplay identity when compared to its other tier 2 weapon counterparts. As such, we added the chance to stun on heavy attacks, and head shots increase that chance substantially. This will be the first melee weapon that can stun.

As for the Battle Axe, its heavy attack damage is substantially higher than all of our other melee weapons, and the speed of those heavy attacks felt a bit too fast for its damage output. We adjusted the speed down to counteract that immense damage.

Lastly, the Tommy Gun’s recoil felt too high, and its fire rate felt too slow. We adjusted both values so that it is easier to control the gun and fire faster with it. We also increased its spread so that it is not effective long range. Community feedback mostly wanted this weapon to be effective close to medium range, so the spread adjustments should align it better to those ranges.

Hello everyone!

While the Killing Floor 2 Halloween Horrors Monster Masquerade event has just ended, the festivities begin anew!



Starting tomorrow, PC players will be able to opt into the Twisted Christmas Season’s Beatings beta and start their journey through Santa’s Workshop to help take it back from that Abomination of a Krampus!



This includes the already announced 3 new weapons, the Fire Axe, Thompson SMG, and M32 Grenade launcher. Players will also receive the MKB if they did not unlock it during the Monster Masquerade.



Joining Santa’s Workshop is the community map Shopping Spree, for all your holiday last minute gift pickups.



But that is not all! We’ve got a few last minute gifts for you! First, we’ve been working towards player requested changes for the ZedConomy and a major part of that is ready and will be a part of this beta!

Specific crates and keys will be available for direct purchase so players do not need to hunt down a crate that they want to open or wait for it to drop. And even more importantly, moving ahead crates will no longer drop duplicate items until ever item in the crate has been obtained! Keep in mind this ONLY applies to items opened from the beta forward and does NOT apply to the vault dosh crates.

And we have some gameplay of the new update in action as part of our first Tripwire Interactive Community Report!

The TICR is something new we are hoping to continue moving ahead, gathering up all the news beats from around Tripwire and the games we are working on. Please let us know what you think of the first and what more you would want out of it! And we have one more surprise for you so keep an eye out tomorrow!

Ho Ho Ho everyone!

Nick here, with an important message to all mercenaries. I’ve got a big mission coming up and I’m building a team who is ready to deal with the fantastic, the magical, and the downright scary. That abomination of a Krampus stole my Workshop, and I am getting it back. You in?



So here is the plan. First, we have to break into my Workshop, should be easy enough with you there to cover my back. Then we’ll need to acquire a sleigh to haul a large package and move it deeper into the workshop.

From there we’ll need to get some of my old machinery up and running, as we’ll be building a special present for Krampus (that is why we need the sleigh dummies)! But once we’ve got that package ready, there is no turning back.... It packs quite a bit of Christmas spirit! More details will be provided on site, and I’ll be holding some test runs (beta) hopefully in the next few weeks - so keep an ear out for my jingle!
