Objective Mode (Killing Floor)

What is 'Objective Mode' ?

'Objective Mode' is the second official game mode released for Killing Floor. In contrast to 'Wave Mode' , 'Objective Mode' is a sandbox style game mode where the rules of gameplay are dictated by the level designer. As such, there are no fixed rules of play. For example : all of Tripwire's Objective Mode maps to date end with a Patriarch fight, but this is just a convention. There is nothing in the Objective Mode gametype that dictates there *has* to be a patriarch fight at the end of the map.
