Gameplay mechanics (Killing Floor 2)
Money
Dosh is the new currency in Killing Floor 2, replacing the pound sterling from the first game. Dosh is used to buy equipment at the Trader.
Starting money
New game
Each player receives money at the start of a game based on difficulty.
| Normal | Hard | Suicidal | Hell on Earth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting money | 300 | 250 | 200 | 100 |
Mid-game
Players joining a game that has already started will get money based on the current wave of the game.
For example, in a long game, players joining during the first wave will receive 10% of the respawn money while players joining during the final normal wave will receive the full value.
Starting money = Respawn money * (current wave / max wave (excluding boss wave))
| Normal | Hard | Suicidal | Hell on Earth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Respawn money | 1750 | 1550 | 1550 | 1000 |
After death
There is a penalty for dying, based on difficulty.
Starting money = Money - (money * death penalty modifier)
| Normal | Hard | Suicidal | Hell on Earth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Death penalty modifier | 5% | 10% | 20% | 25% |
However, if a player has less money after the death penalty than a newly joined player would have, the player will instead receive that same amount of money.
Earning money
Killing specimen
Money is earned through killing specimen. Each specimen has a Dosh value which is modified and distributed to all damaging players once the specimen is dead.
The final value earned for each player is based on difficulty, the number of players in the game, and the amount of damage done to the specimen (in %).
Money earned = (Specimen value * difficulty modifier * (number of players / player modifier)) * (damage done / total damage done)
| Cyst | Clot | Slasher | Crawler | Stalker | Bloat | Gorefast | Siren | Husk | Scrake | Flesh Pound | Hans Volter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen value | 7 | 7 | 7 | 10 | 15 | 17 | 12 | 25 | 17 | 75 | 200 | 500 |
| Normal | Hard | Suicidal | Hell on Earth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Difficulty modifier | 110% | 100% | 85% | 65% |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player modifier | 100% | 200% | 275% | 350% | 400% | 450% |
Surviving a wave
Each player surviving a wave will receive bonus money taken from the pool of money that the team has earned over the wave.
There is a death penalty that applies to the pool of money that the team has gathered whenever a player dies, except on Normal.
Money earned = (Money earned by each player this wave - team death penalties) / surviving players
Team death penalty = Money of the dead player * difficulty modifier * 5%
| Normal | Hard | Suicidal | Hell on Earth | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Difficulty modifier | 0% | 100% | 200% | 300% |
