Helfen sie Dr. Ogada Buyu und Lockheart, spannende Aufgaben für jede Menge Dosh zu erledigen, während sie die neuesten Modetrends in Steampunk-Kleidung tragen! Verwenden sie das Seal Squeal, um Harpunen abzufeuern und Zed-Leichen an Wänden festzunageln, damit sie wie Pinatas aus Fleischsäcken hängen! Oder schlagen sie den Sinn … ähm … heilt mit unserem Hemoclobber in ihre Verbündeten ein! Diese fantastischen Erfindungen und mehr erwarten euch auf dem Killing Floor! Tally-ho und los geht’s!“

New Additions and Highlights

• 1 New Game Mode

    • Every wave has a mandatory objective and these objectives must be accomplished to proceed to the next wave.
    • An objective map has a predetermined number of waves. There is no short, medium, or long game length for these.
    • It has story elements! There are unique user interface elements, characters, environment objects, special effects, cinematics, and voice overs to convey a narrative experience alongside the Zed carnage.
• 1 New Map
• • Steam Fortress
    • Compatible with Survival, Weekly, Endless, and Objective Game Modes.

  • Outpost
    • Mercenaries assist Dr. Ogada Buyu in retrieving server data from the abandoned Horzine base before destroying all traces of it to eliminate the Zed threat.
• New Objective types
  • Transport
    • Players are required to pick up an item and deliver it to a predetermined location on the map. The objective is complete once the required amount of items are delivered.
    • Players carrying the item will receive a movement speed reduction of 53% to walk and 60% to run speed. This movement speed reduction does not apply to solo players or the last player alive.
  • Exterminate
    • Players are required to kill Zeds until the Zed counter reaches 0. These waves can have special makeups to differ them from the Survival game mode wave variants.
