'''Thrashing Through The Gorge!'''
 
The weather outside is frightful, but that’s nothing compared to what’s inside!
Krampus, beast king of the dark side of Christmas, has taken Santa’s Elves captive, stolen the Naughty List, and claimed Christmas for himself! Santa needs an elite strike team to infiltrate the Krampus Lair and shut down his operation for good.  Time to deck the halls with… well, let’s just say the holly berries aren’t the only red decorations this year.  And that’s not tinsel.
 
 
'''To [[Krampus Lair]] We Go'''
 
Not only does Krampus have Santa’s elves that he has twisted to his cause, there is a veritable army of minions at his disposal.  All those holiday creatures left out of Santa’s perfect Christmas utopia have rallied under Krampus’s flag, from the Snowmen who refuse to melt to the Ghosts of Christmas Futures that will never be.  They are ready to meet any attack against their master with holiday cheer… and murder.
But the final test of your holiday cheer will be against Krampus himself, a new boss with rather interesting series of attacks; what goes in one end comes out the other.

'''New Game Mode: Holdout'''
There’s few things more dangerous than a cornered animal… except perhaps ''a cornered survivor with a lot of high explosives.'' In the new game mode ''Holdout'', everyone is ''cornered'' all the time. In Holdout, players play through ''a different small map for each wave,'' each with limited room to maneuver or retreat, forcing players to ''stand their ground'' against the [[Specimens (Killing Floor 2)|Zed]] onslaught. Can you stand shoulder to shoulder with your allies in the face of ''overwhelming numbers,'' or will you break and run, leaving your team to die messily?
'''New Weapons'''
With this update we bring back ''a classic'' and introduce ''a long-requested new weapon!''
First, we have the ''[[Spitfire|Spitfire pistol]],'' a retooled [[Flare Revolver|flare gun]] from [[Killing Floor|Killing Floor 1]] that is great for lighting Zeds on fire with ''precision.'' Available ''alone or [[Dual Spitfires|in pairs]],'' the Spitfire pistol is a ''tier 2 [[Firebug (Killing Floor 2)|Firebug]] weapon,'' but also a ''cross-perk weapon'' for ''[[Gunslinger|Gunslingers]]'' and ''[[Sharpshooter (Killing Floor 2)|Sharpshooters]].'' The Spitfire pistol gives the Firebug more ''precise spike damage'' at the expense of ''a smaller area of effect'' than the existing [[Firebug (Killing Floor 2)#Weapon List|Firebug weapons]].
Second, we have the long-requested ''light machinegun'' in the form of the ''[[Stoner 63A LMG|Stoner 63A]].'' With ''high ammo capacity,'' a ''high rate of fire,'' and ''limited accuracy,'' the Stoner 63A is a tier 4 [[Commando (Killing Floor 2)|Commando]] weapon without peer when it comes to hosing down large groups of Zeds with chunks of fast moving lead. And we could make a joke about the name, but we wouldn’t stoop that low… at least not yet.
'''New Maps & Achievements'''
: '''The Descent'''
: Our ''first Holdout map,'' [[The Descent|the Descent]] is ''a series of underground chambers'' beneath [[Volter Manor]]. Each wave takes place in ''one of ten different rooms,'' and the rooms are in a ''random order'' after the first, so each time you play you get ''different experience.'' These rooms represent the more secure facilities used by ''[[Dr. Hans Volter|Hans]]'' in his experiments and need to be cleaned out to ''put a stop to his terrible work.''
: '''Nuked'''
: Our ''new Community map,'' [[Nuked]], is the ''burnt and broken'' remains of a ''city'' that has a Zed problem on top of ''an incoming nuclear attack.'' Don’t stare directly at the nuclear flash and remember to ''duck and cover!''
'''Descent Comic'''
''Von [[Anton Strasser|Strasser]] has ''a score to settle'' with ''Hans'', and ''[[DJ Scully]]''… he just likes ''lighting things on fire.'' Don’t judge. While exploring ''Volter Manor'' and testing ''new weapons'' for Horzine they find the entrance to ''The Descent'' and end up in ''far more trouble'' than they bargained for.
Can Van Strasser get his ''revenge?'' Can DJ Scully resist ''making jokes'' about the Stoner 63A name? I think we all know the answer to the second question.

'''Introducing: Multiperk'''
Ever wonder “''Hey, I’m a [[Commando (Killing Floor 2)|Commando]] who is awesome with assault rifles. Why am I not awesome with the [[HMTech-401 Assault Rifle|HMTech-401 Medic Assault Rifle]]?'' It’s an assault rifle, isn’t it? It’s right there in the name!” ''Well, now you are!'' With the ''new Multiperk system'', many weapons are considered perk weapons for more than one perk, allowing ''increased flexibility'' when it comes to ''choosing your armaments.''
Use an [[Incendiary Trench Gun]] or [[VLAD-1000 Nailgun|VLAD-1000 Nail Gun]] as a [[Support (Killing Floor 2)|Support]], an [[M16 M203 Assault Rifle|M16 M203]] as a Commando, or a [[HMTech-201 SMG|HMTech-201 Submachinegun]] as a [[SWAT]], and ''receive all the benefits of using a perk weapon.''
'''New Weapon: Bone Crusher'''
Perfect for those times you ''feel like going medieval on a [[Specimens (Killing Floor 2)|Zed]], the [[Bone Crusher]]'' lets you get your inner barbarian on with ''face-breaking shield bashes'' and ''skull-splitting mace strikes.'' A tier 4 [[Berserker (Killing Floor 2)|Berserker]] weapon, the Bone Crusher lets you ''cleave a path through hordes of Zeds'' with ease while making your ''parries even more effective'' at blocking damage.
Nothing like a hubcap, a baseball bat, and a boatload of desperate ingenuity to create the latest in close combat anti-Zed weaponry!
'''New Zed: Gorefiend'''
What’s better than ''one'' gigantic rusty blade bolted to a Zed’s forearm? ''TWO gigantic rusty blades'' bolted to each of a Zed’s forearms! The [[Gorefiend (Killing Floor 2)|gorefiend]] is ''everything you love to hate'' about the [[Gorefast (Killing Floor 2)|gorefast]], ''only more of it.'' And a tongue that is just wrong. The gorefiend is ''ready to ruin your day'' in a whirl of spinning blades and pain.
'''New Map & Achievements: Zed Landing'''
When the ''erupting volcano'' is the least of your worries, you know your tropical island vacation has gone awry. ''Welcome to [[ZED Landing|Zed Landing]]!'' Thanks to ''a crashed Horzine cargo plane'', this island has become ''infested with Zeds'', all of whom want to eat you before the volcano cooks you. Or after really, they’re not that picky; Zeds are into barbecue.
Along with the new map comes a selection of ''new [[Achievements (Killing Floor 2)#Map Related Achievement|achievements]]'' to prove you faced the volcano and lived to tell the tale.
[[File:Zedcomic_Preview.png|frameless|left|x131px|link=http://wiki.tripwireinteractive.com/images/c/cb/Zedlanding_Comic_Full.jpg]]
'''Zed Landing Comic'''
Horzine has been known to ''save some Dosh'' by shipping its mercenaries ''aboard the cargo planes'' of its ZedEx subsidiary, but on this ''trip across the South Pacific'' there's more than cramped seating and a lack of in-flight entertainment ''making life difficult for [[Mr. Foster]] and [[Donovan "Bulldog" Neal|Donovan Neal]].''

'''ROSWELL, GA – November 18, 2016''' – Tripwire Interactive, in collaboration with Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive, is pleased to announce that their eagerly awaited co-op sci-fi horror FPS game, '''''[[Killing Floor 2|KILLING FLOOR 2]]''''', is available now globally on PC, and for the first time the franchise will be available for console gamers with versions for the newly launched PlayStation®4 Pro computer entertainment system and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system platforms.
The sequel to the 3+ million unit selling PC game, Killing Floor, makes its console debut with this release, bringing with it, its trademark frenetic gunplay and larger than life gory visuals, completely amplified with fluid controls, sharper textures and overall increased fidelity. Today’s release marks the closure of '''''KILLING FLOOR 2'''''’s extremely successful time in the Steam Early Access phase, selling over 1+ million units and continuing to grow its loyal community. Those who have previously purchased the Early Access version will be able to update their game to reflect the full launch content, including the brand new [[Survivalist]] perk, available today.
“We’ve poured our heart and soul into perfecting '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''', seeing all of the community feedback from the Early Access phase was invaluable, and to see the game’s full release today is truly overwhelming,” said John Gibson, President of Tripwire Interactive. "We wanted to give existing fans the visceral action that this longstanding franchise is known for, as well as offer new fans a chance to experience the brutal joy that millions of gamers already know and love. Launching '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''' for the PC, and for the first time ever on consoles via the PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 4 symbolizes the next step for us at Tripwire Interactive and we could not be more ecstatic.”
The digital PC base version of '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''' is available to purchase for $29.99 (US), ₤19.99 (UK) and €26.99 (EU) via [http://store.steampowered.com/app/232090/ Steam®] and other digital outlets as well as the PC Digital Deluxe version for $39.99 (US) /£29.99 (UK) /€39.99 (EU). In collaboration with Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive, the deluxe content of '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''' is included in the PC, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®4 Pro [http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/killing-floor-2-only-at-gamestop/135989 retail] and [https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/killing-floor-2/cid=UP0115-CUSA02134_00-KFGAME0000000001 digital] versions for $39.99 (US) /£29.99 (UK) /€39.99 (EU).
In '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''', players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union— Just one month after the events in the original ''[[Killing Floor|KILLING FLOOR]]'', the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding.
Not all have given up hope though... A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.
'''KEY FEATURES:'''
* '''Visceral Gore''' - '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''' ramps up the gore with a proprietary, high powered persistent blood system bringing new levels of fidelity to the genre. Players will send entrails, severed limbs, and blood flying as they wade through hordes of enemies. But they need to watch out! If caught, enemies will rip them, and their entire party limb from limb
* '''6 player co-op or solo play''' - A multitude of varied playable characters await for players to choose from as they enter the fray in online co-op mode or solo mode for those willing to brave the horrific specimens alone
* '''Versus Survival Game Mode''' - Be the Zed! A 12 player PvP mode where two teams take turns playing Humans vs. Zeds in a pair of short matches. In the first match, one team plays Humans and the other Zeds until the humans all die during a single round or they beat the boss. For the second match the teams switch sides and when the battle is completed both teams receive a score based on their performance and the higher score wins!
* '''Terrifying [[Specimens (Killing Floor 2)|Zeds]]''' - New enemies and fan favorites from the original game are back with expanded and smarter artificial intelligence, dishing out powerful attacks, working as a group to weaken the player’s party and pushing the challenge level and fear factor to new levels
* '''Unique Blend Of [[Weapons (Killing Floor 2)|Weaponry]]''' - From modern militaristic assault rifles, brutal improvised makeshift weapons, classic historical guns, and off the wall “Mad Scientist” weapons, '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''' has a unique blend of killing tools that will satisfy any gamer
* '''Expanded [[Perks (Killing Floor 2)|Perk System]]''' - Perks from the original game have been reimagined with more added to the fold. All perks now progress with meaningful talent choices that amplify different play styles, giving players a progression path that is expansive and full of rewarding milestones
* '''Brutal Melee Combat''' - '''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''' reinvents melee combat completely. Players now have control over the type of melee attacks they can perform, enabling them to deliver bone-breaking crippling attacks to Zeds
'''''KILLING FLOOR 2''''' is developed by Tripwire Interactive and is published by Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive for the PlayStation®4 Pro, PlayStation®4, and PC. This title has been rated M by the ESRB, PEGI 18, USK 18.

:'''S.W.A.T. Perk'''
:Get ready to ''breach and clear with the new [[SWAT]] perk!'' Armed with ''flashbang grenades'' and a variety of ''submachineguns,'' the SWAT perk is ready to keep the Zeds pinned down with a storm of lead. SWAT [[SWAT#Perk Skills|perk skills]] allow you to either be an ''armor wearing juggernaut'' or a ''fast moving dealer of precision death,'' but in all cases the SWAT perk is in the thick of the action.
:The SWAT perk’s [[SWAT#Weapon List|weapons]] are ''fast firing submachineguns'' that can chew through Zeds like a woodchipper through…Zeds. The SWAT perk's grenade is a ''flashbang grenade'' that does limited damage but has a ''high chance of stunning Zeds'' caught in its blast.

:'''Loyalty Reward Info & New Cardboard Knight'''
:When fighting Zeds, ''the right protective outfit is vital'' to both your ''survival'' and ''looking stylish.'' Some days you get lucky and lay your hands on a ''badass looking suit of Horzine Security Armor,'' and other days you’re forced to make a ''suit of armor out of cardboard.'' Both are stylish…in their own ways.
:The ''elite variants of the Horzine Security Armor'' and the ''Horzine 9mm pistol skins'' are ''loyalty rewards'' that are earned by everyone who plays in ''early access,'' though other versions will be available at a later date as part of a ''cosmetic bundle'' in the game store. ''The cardboard armor'' will be ''available for sale'' in a ''new cosmetic bundle'' in the game store.
:[http://www.killingfloor2.com/TacticalResponse/zedconomy_update.html For more information visit the ZED-conomy page!]
:'''New Map and Achievements'''
:Go to hell! Literally! The ''new [[Infernal Realm]] level,'' which is ''a community map'' that has become ''an official map,'' takes survivors to a whole new level of Zed killing surrounded by bones, hanging corpses, brimstone, and hellfire. And the trader is totem made of bones. That can’t be a good sign.
:'''Revised Resistances and Perks'''
:Almost all the perks got ''tweaks to their skills or passive abilities'' in this update, but the ''[[Firebug (Killing Floor 2)|Firebug]], [[Support (Killing Floor 2)|Support]], and [[Field Medic (Killing Floor 2)|Medic]]'' got more ''in depth changes'' to make their ''skills more balanced.'' The goal is to make every skill choice more interesting. ''[[Specimens (Killing Floor 2)|Zeds]]'' have also had ''their resistances revised,'' their movement and evasion tactics made ''more challenging,'' and their ''spawn groups adjusted,'' creating a much more intense experience on higher difficulty levels. And ''watch out for [[Dr. Hans Volter|Hans]].'' Really. He’s been at the gym or something.

:'''Revised Perks & Zeds'''
:''[[Berserker (Killing Floor 2)|Berserkers]], [[Commando (Killing Floor 2)|Commandos]],'' and ''[[Demolitionist (Killing Floor 2)|Demolitionists]]'' have gotten some love to make their ''perk abilities more interesting,'' their skill choices ''more meaningful,'' and their interactions with Zeds ''more rewarding.'' In addition, ''the Zeds have seen their abilities revised'' as well to better counter, or be countered by, various perks.
:'''VS Update Mark II'''
:Now you get a Zed! And you get a Zed! ''Everyone gets a Zed!'' VS Matches now involve the ''two teams taking turns'' playing Humans and Zeds over the course of a pair of short matches. During the first match, one team plays Humans and the other Zeds until the humans all die during a single round or they beat the boss, at which point the teams ''switch sides'' for the second match. After the second match is complete ''both teams receive a score'' based on their performance and ''the higher score wins.'' The player controlled Zeds in VS have also seen ''substantial adjustments'' to make the whole experience more fun.
:'''New Characters & Hans Changes'''
::{|
|- style="vertical-align: top;"
| style="padding: 0 12px 0 0; width: 50%;" | '''Rae Higgins'''
An ''Australian'' who ended up on the wrong side of the world when everything hit the fan, ''Rae'' hasn’t taken the Zed outbreak quietly. Sporting her ''Rockabilly style'' and a surprisingly ''upbeat attitude,'' she’s ready to bust skulls.
| style="padding: 0 0 0 12px; width: 50%;" | '''Fancy Hands Hans'''
The good Dr. Volter has decided to allow those foolish enough to ''face him a bit more of a sporting chance.'' Now ''when injured,'' he will deploy a ''shield'' while looking for someone to drain to heal himself. ''If Dr. Volter’s shield is destroyed before he finds a victim, he won’t be able to heal'' and will be knocked down, so dog pile on the doctor and ruin his day.
|}
:'''New Maps and Achievements'''
:We’ve added ''two new maps, [[Hostile Grounds]]'' and ''[[Containment Station]],'' that are the first drawn from ''the work of the KF2 community.'' Hostile Grounds is an urban environment with ''both above ground and subterranean sections,'' while Containment Station takes KF2 to the final frontier ''onboard a space station'' where Zeds are running amok.
:'''Tutorial and Item Reward'''
:Get ready to enter ''the [[Training Floor]]!'' Now fresh meat can ''learn to how play'' in the Training Floor, ''a guided experience'' that will ''teach the basics'' of ''killings Zeds, spending dosh,'' and ''living to tell the tale.'' Those who complete the Training Floor will earn ''three cosmetic items as a reward,'' but that is nothing compared to the ''hard won knowledge'' they will have earned.

:We’ve all talked about this one for years – the ability for you not just to kill the Zeds, but ''the chance to BE the Zed'' – so here it is! In the ''all-new Versus Survival game mode,'' up to ''six players can be their normal, Zed-slaughtering selves,'' while up to ''six more can play as the Zeds.'' Work your way through multiple survival waves, all the way up to the Boss. Can the Human team make it through all the waves – or can the Zed team stop them before they get to the end? ''6v6 PvP gameplay with every weapon, Zed and death!''
:'''Zeds vs Players'''
:If you join the Zed team, ''you’ll get to be any of 11 playable Zeds.'' Start as one of the mindless horde and ''work your way up through the waves,'' to ''play as a Scrake, Fleshpound or even the Patriarch himself!'' And to make them all more interesting to be, more dangerous to fight – ''all of the Zeds will have special attacks and abilities'' when controlled by players. Extra leaps, jumps, speed… new attacks… plenty of ways to freak out the Human team!
:'''New Weapons'''
:With the Sharpshooter on his way, we thought we’d give you ''a couple of classic weapons'' that you’ve all been asking for: ''the Winchester lever-action rifle'' and ''the Crossbow.'' Cult classics for the Sharpshooter, with so many fond memories from earlier incarnations!

:'''New Map and Achievements'''
:In addition to the all new game mode and weapons, we are adding ''another new Tripwire map: Prison.'' Set in some dark corner of Russia, where the Zed outbreaks have already spread, we have ''a recently-abandoned prison,'' with its cells, shower-blocks and guard towers. Now who is in prison – the Zeds or the players? Complete with ''difficulty level map Achievements'' – plus the ''“Find the Soap” Achievement.''

Twisted Christmass
Release Date Dec 12, 2017
Killing Floor 2 - Twisted Christmass 2017 Trailer
List of Updates
Update 1058 • Update 1059    


Thrashing Through The Gorge!

The weather outside is frightful, but that’s nothing compared to what’s inside! Krampus, beast king of the dark side of Christmas, has taken Santa’s Elves captive, stolen the Naughty List, and claimed Christmas for himself! Santa needs an elite strike team to infiltrate the Krampus Lair and shut down his operation for good. Time to deck the halls with… well, let’s just say the holly berries aren’t the only red decorations this year. And that’s not tinsel.


To Krampus Lair We Go

Not only does Krampus have Santa’s elves that he has twisted to his cause, there is a veritable army of minions at his disposal. All those holiday creatures left out of Santa’s perfect Christmas utopia have rallied under Krampus’s flag, from the Snowmen who refuse to melt to the Ghosts of Christmas Futures that will never be. They are ready to meet any attack against their master with holiday cheer… and murder.

But the final test of your holiday cheer will be against Krampus himself, a new boss with rather interesting series of attacks; what goes in one end comes out the other.


Slaying All The Way!

To help with this attack on the Krampus Lair, Horzine has added two new weapons to their armory: the UMP SMG for SWATs and the Freezethrower for Survivalists. Remember, add bullets and cryo-freeze ammunition packs to your wish list for Santa.

Gift Awaits Within * limited time only


Pajama Outfit

What would the holidays be without Pajama Outfits? Cold, that’s what.
Find new cosmetic items in Krampus Lair, or complete the Krampus Lair objectives to earn the Pajamas Outfit. Nothing like fighting rogue elves in your PJs with a holiday ham strapped to your head.

* Prize Tickets are only available during the Summer Sideshow Event.

New weapons!
