• E.D.A.R. Trapper
  
  • Max attack range of EMP beam decreased from 4000UU to 550UU

Designer Note - E.D.A.R.s are our newest, ranged enemies, and there are three variations of them known as the Trapper, Bomber, and Blaster. Upon their initial reception during the beta, they were exceedingly difficult to kill, and this added a layer of frustration when dealing with them. We adjusted the values to promote destroying their chest armor and shooting the core. The further adjustments should make them easier to kill now. Also, the Trapper should not be able to trap players through walls and obstacles anymore (Sorry about that!).

• Scrake
  
  • Raised vulnerability to Microwave damage by 10%
    
  • Bleed status effect vulnerability increased from 50% to 75%

  • Hell On Earth Difficulty
    
    • Sprint chance raised from 40% to 85%
      
    • Sprint chance on damaged raised from 80% to 100%

  • Hard Difficulty
    
    • Sprint chance on damaged raised from 5% to 70%
    
    
  • Suicidal Difficulty
    
    • Sprint chance raised from 5% to 50%
    
    
  • Hell On Earth Difficulty
    
    • Sprint chance raised from 75% to 85%
  
  
• Siren
  
  • Scream radius reduced from 800UU to 600UU
    
  • Sprint speed raised from 200 to 275
    
  • Suicidal Difficulty
    
    • Sprint chance on damaged raised from 5% to 65%
    
    
  • Hell on Earth Difficulty
    
    • Sprint chance on damaged raised from 10% to 85%

Designer Note - We raised the speed of the Siren so that they are able to advance quicker to players. They were very slow previously, so this new change could result in them reaching players and performing screams more effectively. We then lowered the scream radius to tone down their damage to counteract them being able to potentially reach players faster. We are looking to continue adjusting the Siren in response to community feedback.

  • Suicidal Difficulty
    
    • Evade chance on damage reduced from 20% to 10%

      • Scrakes added
  
  
• Patriarch
  
  • Hell on Earth Difficulty
    
    • Supporting zeds
      
      • Cysts removed

Upgrade System

• Upgrade sell values for singles and dualies lowered from 75% to values between ~15% and ~40% of original upgrade prices. This does not affect the dual 9MM pistols.

Designer Note - This was a temporary solution to make it harder to exploit from a trick with upgraded singles and dualies that allowed users to earn more dosh than intended. A long-term fix for the issue should now be out with this patch, and we will revert the temporary solution as soon as possible.

Maps

• Zedlanding
  
  • Global spawn rate increased slightly

Perk and Weapons

Offperk

• 9MM Pistol and Dual 9MM Pistols
  
  • Base bullet damage raised from 15 to 25
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 1 damage modifier reduced from 1.3x to 1.2x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 2 damage modifier reduced from 1.6x to 1.4x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 3 damage modifier reduced from 1.9x to 1.6x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 4 damage modifier reduced from 2.2x to 1.8x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 5 damage modifier reduced from 2.5x to 2.0x
    
  • Fire rate reduced by 14%
    
  • Max ammo capacity reduced from 240 to 90
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 8 to 12 per magazine for single 9MM Pistol
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 16 to 24 per magazine for Dual 9MM Pistols

Designer Note - The 9MM and Dual 9MM Pistols have been readjusted to promote its power as a backup weapon. Our hope is that the adjustments provide a more impactful experience than the previous version of the 9MM Pistols. During the beta, we received feedback concerning their performance and power, so we adjusted the values to tone that power down a bit. The adjustments should allow it to still be applicable to most Zeds without it being a weapon that can dispatch large Zeds easily.

Firebug

• Microwave Gun
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 10 to 9
    
  • Stream damage raised from 14 to 16
    
  • Base Alt-Fire blast damage raised from 200 to 210
    
  • Amount of ammo from ammo boxes raised from 40 to 50
• Huskcannon
  
  • Base charge damage reduced from 100 to 80. Full Charge damage reduced from 450 to 360
    
  • Max ammo capacity reduced from 280 to 260
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 5 damage modifier reduced from 1.115x to 1.1x
• Flamethrower
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 8 to 7
    
  • Base stream damage reduced from 21 to 18
    
  • Purchase cost raised from 1100 to 1200
• Incendiary Trench Gun / Dragonsbreath
  
  • Weapon name changed to “Dragonsbreath”
    
  • Bullet pellets reduced from 9 to 8

Designer Note - The Microwave Gun struggled as a Tier 4 weapon when compared to other Firebug weapons. We adjusted the values to promote its damage and clearing ability, and the reduction in weight should help broaden weapon combinations with it. As for the Huskcannon, we brought the damage and ammo down because it was becoming a powerhouse against all Zeds. Lastly, we adjusted the Flamethrower and Dragonsbreath to align them better with their other Firebug weapon counterparts.

Berserker

• Static Strikers
  
  • Available for purchase from the Trader
    
  • Tier 4 weapon
    
  • Heavy attack EMP incapacitation power reduced from 49 to 45
    
  • Heavy attack knockdown incapacitation power reduced from 150 to 90
    
  • Purchase cost is 1600
• Eviscerator
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 10 to 9
    
  • Base saw blade projectile damage reduced from 480 to 300
    
  • Amount of gas ammo from ammo boxes reduced from 125 to 50
• Bonecrusher
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 9 to 8
    
  • Base bash damage reduced from 175 to 165
    
  • Base heavy swing damage increase from 165 to 175
    
  • Parry damage mitigation raised from 60% to 70%
    
  • Purchase cost raised from 1500 to 1600
• Zweihander
  
  • Base Weight raised from 6 to 7
    
  • Purchase cost raised from 1100 to 1300
• Pulverizer
  
  • Purchase cost raised from 1200 to 1300
• Nailgun
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 6 to 5
    
  • Base bullet damage reduced from 30 to 25
    
  • Fire rate raised by 33%
    
  • Number of nails per shot raised from 7 to 8
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 20 to 26 per magazine
    
  • Purchase cost raised from 600 to 750
• Katana
  
  • Base Weight raised from 3 to 4
    
  • Purchase cost raised from 600 to 850

Designer Note - Most of the Berserker weapons have solid utility, high power, and/or the lack of having to buy ammunition. Berserkers could save dosh and advance to their next weapon tier comfortably, so we wanted to tone that down by increasing their prices. Next, the Eviscerator was a weapon that was highly effective against small and large Zeds. The adjustments made should reduce that effectiveness against the larger Zeds while keeping the same consistent gameplay behavior for the smaller Zeds. We also made adjustments to the incapability of the Static Strikers. It should still be able to incap most Zeds while allowing larger Zeds to be more threatening. Before, its high incapability shut down Scrakes and Fleshpounds with too much ease.

Sharpshooter

• M99 AMR
  
  • Available for purchase from the Trader
    
  • Tier 5 weapon
    
  • Cannot be upgraded
    
  • Max ammo capacity reduced from 31 to 21
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 25 to 38 per magazine
    
  • Purchase cost is 2500
• Railgun
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 10 to 9
    
  • Max ammo capacity raised from 21 to 33
    
  • Base manual shot damage reduced from 750 to 560
    
  • Base homing shot damage reduced from 375 to 280
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 5 damage modifier raised from 1.1x to 1.25x
    
  • Ammo cost reduced from 25 to 20 per magazine
• M14 EBR
  
  • Base bullet damage reduced from 90 to 80
    
  • Ammo cost reduced from 60 to 53 per magazine
• SPX 464 Centerfire
  
  • Base bullet damage reduced from 180 to 165
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 50 to 55 per magazine
• Winchester 1894
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 5 to 4

Designer Note - The Railgun and M99 were both extremely powerful weapons, and both mechanically served the same purpose during the beta. So, to help differentiate the two weapons, we adjusted them so that the Railgun is a weaker, safer alternative to the M99’s high-risk, high-reward gunplay. As for The M14 EBR and SPX 464 Centerfire, the two weapons were considered a bit too strong for their tiers. They received adjustments to better align them with their tier level.

Support

• Doomstick
  
  • Available for purchase from the Trader
    
  • Tier 4 weapon
    
  • Max ammo reduced from 76 to 44
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 5 damage modifier reduced from 1.17x to 1.1x
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 25 to 40 per magazine
    
  • Purchase cost is 1500
• M4 Combat Shotgun
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 7 to 6
    
  • Bullet pellets raised from 7 to 8
• Double-barrel Boomstick
  
  • Base Weight raised from 4 to 5
    
  • Bullet pellets reduced from 12 to 10
    
  • Reload speed raised from 0.88 seconds to 1 second
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 11 to 13 per magazine
    
  • Purchase cost raised from 650 to 750

Designer Note - We modified the stats of the Doomstick to tone down its powerful performance during the betas. It should still be a strong weapon against all the Zeds, but it should not be as sustainable as it was before. As for the M4 Combat Shotgun, it was still underperforming a bit for its tier. The further adjustments should help bring it up to par. And lastly, the Boomstick was performing above its tier so we modified its values to level its strong performance.

Commando

• Perk Skill “FallBack”
  
  • 9MM and Knife damage reduced from 110% to 50%

SWAT

• Perk Skill “Close Combat Training”
  
  • 9MM and Knife damage reduced from 110% to 50%
• Heckler & Koch UMP
  
  • Ammo cost reduced from 45 to 36 per magazine
• P90 SMG
  
  • Ammo cost reduced from 50 to 40 per magazine
• MP5RAS SMG
  
  • Ammo cost reduced from 33 to 28 per magazine

Designer Note - We lowered the damage bonus from the “Close Combat Training” And “Fallback” Perk skills because the original bonuses granted an excessive damage potential for the 9MM Pistols. During the beta, the 9MM Pistols were too strong as a backup weapon due to the upgrade modifiers and Perk skills. We modified both, and we’re keeping an eye out for community feedback and impressions on these changes.

Field Medic

• Hemogoblin
  
  • Base bullet damage reduced from 70 to 50. This will also reduce bleed DOT damage and the toxic DOT damage from the Perk skill, Acidic Rounds
    
  • Base bleed over time damage reduced from 25 to 15 every bleed tick
    
  • Heal dart recharge rate reduced from 15 seconds to 12 seconds
    
  • Max ammo capacity increased from 84 to 98
    
  • Base reload speed reduced from 3.6 seconds to 2.34 seconds
    
  • Tactical reload speed reduced from 2.4 to 1.7
    
  • Weapon equip speed reduced from 1 seconds to 0.6 seconds
    
  • Weapon unequip speed reduced from 0.6 seconds to 0.5 seconds
    
  • Incapacitation modifier from Bleed effect increased from 30% to 50%
    
  • Ammo cost reduced from 40 to 35 per magazine
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 4 damage modifier reduced from 1.6x to 1.4x
  
  
• HMTech-301 Shotgun
  
  • Fire rate reduced by 33%
  
  
• HMTech-201 SMG
  
  • Base bullet damage raised from 15 to 17
    
  • Medic dart charge ammo use reduced from 50 to 40 per shot

Designer Note - We made a lot of modifications to the Hemogoblin in response to community feedback. It should now feel more like a support weapon, and its main role is to debilitate Zeds. Its damage potential should take care of weak Zeds with a single shot while not enraging larger Zeds as easily. We also raised the vulnerability of receiving the Bleed status for Scrakes, Fleshpounds, and Quarterpounds. It should be easier now to inflict Bleed on them even if they are enraged and have their incapacitation resistance boosted. We hopefully improved the experience of using the weapon with a lot of our tuning, and we look forward to receiving feedback about the changes. Lastly, we made adjustments to the HMTech-301 Shotgun and HMTech-201 SMG to align them better with their tier levels.

Demolitionist

• M16 M203
  
  • Base bullet damage raised from 30 to 33
    
  • Grenade round impact damage raised from 225 to 230
    
  • Grenade round explosion damage raised from 225 to 230
    
  • Fire rate reduced by 4.5%
    
  • Grenade round ammo cost raised from 13 to 15 per round

Designer Note - We made adjustments to the M16 M203 to boost its damage potential slightly as it was underperforming a bit for its tier. We’re continuing to keep an eye out on this weapon to make further adjustments from community feedback.

Survivalist

• Freezethrower
  
  • Base Weight reduced from 8 to 7

Designer Note - We greatly appreciate all the community feedback, and we will do our best to incorporate as much as we can with further, future adjustments! A lot of the weapons were due for some modifications to hopefully improve overall balance of our game. To help clarify, we released the tuning alongside the weapon upgrade system, but we did not make most of these modifications because of the weapon upgrade system. Thank you all very much for supporting us, giving us feedback, and playing our game!

Balance
Offperk

• 9MM Pistol and Dual 9MM Pistols
  
  • Upgrade to Tier 1 damage modifier reduced from 1.3x to 1.2x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 2 damage modifier reduced from 1.6x to 1.4x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 3 damage modifier reduced from 1.9x to 1.6x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 4 damage modifier reduced from 2.2x to 1.8x
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 5 damage modifier reduced from 2.5x to 2.0x

Designer Note - The 9MM Pistol and Dual 9MM Pistols were powerful due to their upgrade damage modifiers. We adjusted them down as the weapon is not meant to be a main weapon to kill all Zeds, but rather, a backup weapon. The adjustments should allow it to still be applicable to most Zeds without it being a weapon that can dispatch large Zeds easily.

  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4

  • Base Weight is now 9

  • Purchase cost is now 1600

  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4
    
  • Heavy attack emp power reduced from 49 to 45
    
  • Heavy attack knockdown power reduced from 150 to 90
    
  • Purchase cost is now 1600

Designer Notes - The Eviscerator was a weapon that was highly effective against small and large Zeds. The adjustments made should help reduce that effectiveness against the larger Zeds while keeping the same consistent gameplay behavior for the smaller Zeds. We also made adjustments to the incapability of the Static Strikers. It should still be able to incap most Zeds while allowing larger Zeds to be more threatening. Before, it’s high incapability shut down Scrakes and Fleshpounds with too much ease.

Sharpshooter

• Railgun
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4
    
  • Base Weight reduced from 10 to 9
    
  • Manual fire Damage reduced from 750 to 560
    
  • Homing fire damage reduced from 375 to 280
    
  • Total ammo increased from 21 to 33
    
  • Ammo cost reduced from 25 per mag to 20 per mag
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 5 damage modifier raised from 1.1x to 1.25x

• M99 AMR
  
  • Set as a Tier 5 weapon
    
  • Removed ability to upgrade
    
  • Total ammo reduced from 31 to 21
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 25 per mag to 50 per mag
    
  • Purchase cost is now 2500

Designer Note - The Railgun and M99 are extremely powerful weapons, and both mechanically serve the same purpose. We adjusted them both so that the Railgun is a more weaker, safer alternative to use versus the high-risk, high-reward gunplay of the M99. We will do further adjustments depending on the community feedback from the Beta 2 patch.

Support

• AA12
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4
• Doomstick
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4
    
  • Ammo cost raised from 25 per mag to 40 per mag
    
  • Max ammo reduced from 76 to 44
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 5 damage modifier reduced from 1.17x to 1.1x
    
  • Purchase cost is now 1500

Designer Note - The Doomstick was a powerhouse of damage with a high enough ammo pool to warrant it as an exceedingly effective gun. It should still be a high-damage weapon, but we adjusted the ammo and ammo price per magazine so that it is not a sustainable weapon to use for every situation. It’s main purpose is to kill larger Zeds.

Commando

• Perk Skill “FallBack”
  
  • 9MM and Knife damage reduced from 110% to 50%
• SCAR-H Assault Rifle
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4

  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4

SWAT

• Perk Skill “Close Combat Training”
  
  • 9MM and Knife damage reduced from 110% to 50%
• Kriss SMG
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4

Field Medic

• HMTech-401 Assault Rifle
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4
• Hemogoblin
  
  • Bullet damage reverted from 70 to 50. This will also reduce bleed DOT damage and the toxic DOT damage from the Perk skill, Acidic Rounds
    
  • Upgrade to Tier 4 damage modifier reduced from 1.6x to 1.4x

Designer Note - We are lowering the damage of the Hemogoblin because it’s main functionality is not damage. Rather, the weapon is meant to be used to debilitate Zeds. We are currently looking into improving that experience. As for now, we adjusted the damage down, and it should reduce the likelihood of enraging Scrakes and Fleshpounds accidentally in the meantime.

Gunslinger

• AF2011-A1
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4
• Dual AF2011-A1
  
  • Reverted stats back to Tier 4

• C4
  
  • Removed ability to upgrade

Zeds

• All E.D.A.Rs
  
  • Base chest armor health reduced from 500 to 225
    
  • Base head armor health increased from 550 to 600
    
  • Base body health increased from 562 to 775
    
  • Base sprint speed increased from 550 to 600
    
  • Base sprint distance increased from 1500 to 5000
    
  • Base critical hit zone damage on core increased from 1.4x to 3.5x
    
  • Critical hit zone core located in the center area once chest armor is destroyed.
    
  • Base fire damage vulnerability increased from 0.75x to 1.5x
    
  • Base microwave damage vulnerability increased from 2.0x to 3.25x
• E.D.A.R. Trapper
  
  • Max attack range of EMP Beam decreased from 4000UU to 550UU

Designer Note - E.D.A.R.s were difficult to kill because of their high armor health values. We lowered the chest armor health and increased the damage modifier of their core to promote destroying the chest armor and shooting the core. The further adjustments should make them easier to dispatch while keeping their gameplay challenge the same. And lastly, we reduced the range of the E.D.A.R.s Trapper’s EMP Beam to help alleviate their frustration while we currently work on a fix for the bug where their beam goes through environment objects.

Upgrade System

• Upgrade sell values for singles and dualies lowered from 75% to values between ~15% and ~40% of original upgrade prices. This does not affect the dual 9MM pistols.

Designer Note - This is a temporary solution to make it harder to exploit from a trick with upgraded singles and dualies that allowed users to earn more dosh than intended. We are working to implement a better fix for the release of the patch.

Maps

• Zedlanding
  
  • Global spawn rate increased slightly

Weekly Outbreak

• Cranium Cracker
  
  • E.D.A.R.s temporarily removed. This will cause Stalkers and Husks to also be temporarily removed because E.D.A.R.s share the same spawn pool as Stalkers and Husks.

Beta 2 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where EDAR’s were inconsistent with other zeds in Headshots Only weekly objective.
  
• Put measures in place to alleviate EDAR’s stun beam going through geometry.

• Fixed an issue where player game and cosmetic choices would be reset.

Hello everyone!

First, a big thank you to everyone who has taken the chance to try out the preview beta currently available to our Steam fans. We have been tracking your feedback and bug reports and are working towards an updated beta build that we expect to push live next week. Here is ( a non exhaustive list of) what's changing:

Tier 4 weapons are back! In the first beta we dropped the tier 4’s to 3’s and modified their stats so that players could have an opportunity to bring other weapons into the late game if they chose (or continue to stick with their old favorites). We’ve heard the calls, and the tier 4’s are reverting back to their previous tier 4 status.

Work has also been continuing on the new E.D.A.R.’s. In the next beta build, players will be greater rewarded for hitting the weak point (which can be found in the chest after removing the armor located there). Doing so now does more damage, and killing them with a blow there will cause an EMP blast which will disable zeds close to the exploded E.D.A.R. A skilled marksman who knows where to shoot can land a penetrating blow before the armor has been destroyed!

Additionally the chest armor has been brought down, while the leg armor has gone up. And all of them are having some audio work to help telegraph their imminent impact to players. The Trappers now have a much shorter range on their beam, so players have more of a chance to engage them before they find themselves trapped!

Weapon and perk skill balance is also ongoing outside of the Tier weapon changes, and a few highlights include:

• The Hemogoblin’s damage has been reduced
  
• The Railgun has also had its damage reduced, weight reduced by 1, and ammo pool slightly increased
  
• The M99 has been set as a Tier 5 weapon and had its price increased and ammo pool reduced
  
• The Doomstick has had its ammo costs increased and ammo pool reduced

The last item we want to mention is the dynamic loading/memory improvements that are being worked on (and are the cause of several of the more obvious visual issues such as arms not loading as well as in game hitches), we hope to have wrapped up and fully implemented by the next beta update as well, so please keep a special eye out for any issues that may arise out of these changes.

To all those taking part in this preview beta, we look forward to your continued feedback and bug reports!

Players will now find the summer opt-in beta available under the preview branch in the games properties in Steam. Server admins can also opt their servers into this branch using the following command:

Thank you to all who choose to help us out and give us feedback and bug reports!

Hello everyone!

We’ve announced a lot of exciting things over the past few weeks. New weapons, enemies, maps, gameplay systems (such as weapon upgrade and perk prestige), and Objective Survival! If you missed out on any of the finer details, check out the What We Are Up To posts here:

• No Time For A Bevy
  
• A Prestigious Upgrade
  
• One, Two, Three, Punch!

And that isn’t all! We’ve been doing a base balance pass on many of the weapons in game as well as further tweaks to Suicidal and Hell on Earth based on player feedback. And we could use your help testing all this new content and changes!

As always there are a few things to keep in mind. We may not be able to react to all beta feedback in time for the full release. Our priority will always be critical issues such as crashes and bugs that impact gameplay. This does not mean that feedback has gone unheard (this update includes many changes based on the previous beta and release). With that out of the way...

We invite our Steam players to join the opt-in beta next week (current target date of May 17th!). A Work in Progress changelog will be available shortly before or after the release of the beta and we look forward towards your feedback. We may also have a targeted survey to answer some specific questions the design team for beta participants, so keep an eye out for that in the days following the release! Oh, and one parting gift:

We have just pushed a required update for clients and servers. This update will have no direct impact on players or admins at this time. However, it is in preparation to a future beta update and will allow players to opt-in and out of the beta without any negative impact to the XP gain.

Hello everyone!

Lockhart is back, and it seems his problems are never ending. Last you saw him in Killing Floor 1, you had helped him launch away to his airship. Now, having followed him, you find the sky a most dangerous place, and not just because you need to help keep the Queen Victoria running!

As the story unfolds, mercenaries will be tasked with several objectives as part of our first Objective style Survival map, featuring new objectives types: Weld & Repair and Operate & Control!

We are also pleased to announce the next Official Community map: Lockdown from Rewire



Waking up from Cryosleep [Technology Trademarked by Horzine BioTech], you find yourselves on a ship orbiting a planet near a red giant. The zeds aboard the ship have already caused mayhem on every single compartment. Eliminate the ZED threat before they tear the ship's hull to pieces.

And for those players who enjoy Endless we have some tweaks coming your way for the solo zed waves. Scrake and Fleshpound waves will be a bit more manageable as the wave counter goes up while the clot legion has found renewed vigor.

To the skies mercs!

Hello everyone,

Now that the Infinite Onslaught event has come to an end, it is time to introduce our mercs to some new best friends (in the form of an arsenal expansion)! Already announced is the return of the M99 Anti Material Rifle (AMR), but that is only the beginning! Today’s weapon introductions have been written by a guest, to be introduced soon. Who could it be?



Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the newest, biggest way to turn Dosh into deafening noise and horrible violence! At least that is what the manual from the techs back in the lab said... and little else (I checked!). The M99 AMR will be the single highest direct damage weapon available to mercenaries for helping them tackle those most challenging of beasts: clots, can’t stand them!




You poor, undercut Survivalists have suffered long enough; I have just what you need! I’ve made you a knife, the Goreshiv, bound to fix all of life's little problems. Stabbing fixes so many problems, am I right lads? I’ve got some ideas for some further enhancements, but they won’t be available as soon as this Goreshiv will be.




Ahh, something of my own design, lads and lasses. I’ve heard you lot enjoy a good “Boomstick,” so I thought about how to make some quick Dosh....I mean make an improvement on the design and tempt you most qualified, discerning customers into spending your hard earned Dosh. Introducing here for the first time, not found anywhere else, accept no imitations, the Doomstick (trademark pending)! Four barrels of love to love!




This last one is a real treat, ladies and gents. Another custom brought to you by yours truly for those who like their barneys up close and personal: the Static Strikers. Great for hitting those clots while they are up... and when they are down so they don’t get back up! Now stop staring, this is no time for a bevy, more to see and do!

Thanks L! Now we have one more thing we want to make sure mercs are aware of; we’ve gotten word that a third party may have gotten their hands on the D.A.R. designs and there have been spotty reports of them showing up outside of standard deployments.




Keep an eye out for what we are currently designating the E.D.A.R with three sub variants: The Boomer, Blaster and Trapper. It looks like these rogue units aren’t that easy to stop, and will keep up the fight even without their heads!

These E.D.A.R.S. appear to be equipped with different weapons. The unit designated Boomer is equipped with rockets, so don’t clump if one looks like it is engaging you. The Blaster, ranged pulses of energy (currently assumed to hurt, but further live testing may be required for confirmation - hazard pay may be available). And the Trapper, as the name might suggest, immobilizes its targets with a different type of ranged beam.

We will have more on strange reports from the sky soon!

Hello everyone!

While the Infinite Onslaught continues, so has work on the next major update for Killing Floor 2, and we want to start sharing that with you today! As always, when we talk about our plans, they are subject to change during the normal course of development.

Today is going to focus on several big community requests, so let us dive right in. You asked for it, now it is on it’s way, Player Perk Prestige!



Players who have worked for a level 25 perk can now choose to prestige it, taking it back down to 0 to work their way through again. Those who choose to do so will be rewarded with increased leveling speed, additional Vault Dosh, an upgraded perk icon, as well as a prestige perk knife.



Dedicated players will now have one more optional way to stand out and show off! There are no gameplay changes involved with prestiging, and players are not required to do it.

Do you have a favored weapon that just doesn’t make the cut for your late game arsenal?
Another major community request now in development and coming with the next update will be our first version of a weapon upgrade system!



With this first iteration players will be able to spend dosh not just on new weapons, but to upgrade an existing one to improve its damage. In some cases, this will also add to the weight of the weapon being upgraded, opening up new late game loadout options.

Almost every weapon in the game can be upgraded from Tier 1 onward (this does not include grenades or knives). Also, as part of this change, traditional Tier 4 weapons will also be adjusted to Tier 3 weapons that can be upgraded to the Tier 4 weapons you know and love.... and Tier 5.

Our goal is to add more options to this system to allow for greater weapon changes as we move ahead, but it will be limited to damage and weight for this update. Be sure to let us know what else you feel the system needs once you trial it out in the beta or full update release.

But wait, there’s more! The first DLC mercenary is joining up, and we can’t wait to introduce you to this roster returnee: Mrs. Foster is back!



Mrs. Foster will be our first fully voiced character joining the Killing Floor 2 roster, featuring the vocal talents of Claudia Black! She will be localized in other supported languages with other voice actors.

While we continue to look at additional characters and costumes for the future, Mrs. Foster will be serving as our test with the community: to see if this type of fully voiced roster addition is something fans will continue to want to see added as paid content, or if you want to see more characters/costumes such as DAR and Commando Chicken which do not require additional voice acting.
