An minor update to Killing Floor was released today as well as the Outbreak Character Pack DLC.

The update fixes a number of bugs and includes the following additions:

- 4 new Characters as a purchasable DLC pack available via the Steam Store
- new animations for the specimens busting down doors
- a faster Quick Heal system
- updated Door Welded display

For a full list of additions and bug fixes see the KF updates thread on the forums.

The Outbreak Character Pack can be bought from the Steam store for $1.99. The pack contains 4 new playable characters:

- Agent Wilkes: One of Horzine’s own security guards, still in his uniform, enhanced with Horzine’s own Mark 7 combat suit.
- Foundry Worker Aldridge: A welder who managed to survive the zombie onslaught inside the Foundry, still in his working gear.
- DJ Scully: Ex British army soldier, moonlighting as an underground DJ when the apocalypse hit.
- Dr Gary Glover: Sent in as part of the emergency response team, Dr Glover managed to survive infection inside his Hazmat suit.

This update does not include the new map (Foundry), or the two new weapons (AK-47 and Katana) but according to the Killing Floor website, they will be made available soon.

Details have been released regarding “Heavy Metal”, the upcoming content pack for Killing Floor. The content will be free for anyone who owns the game.

What we can expect from Heavy Metal is a new map titled “Foundry“, which is set in an old iron works, as well as two new weapons – the ubiquitous AK-47, as well as a Japanese Katana for melee attacks.

As well as the free content, there will also be a paid “character pack” DLC. This pack will include 4 new playable characters. As yet, there has been no mention on the price of the character pack, or a release date set for either of the content packs.

For future details, keep on eye on the relevant thread in the forums. Thanks to Shayagor for the tip.

The Revival team have released a new single player fun patch for Hellgate London – SP patch 1.0pre (download here). This patch does not add any extra elements to the game, however it improves the games performance (such as reducing loading times) and has resolved many peoples installation problems they were having when trying to install the previous patch.

They have also used a new method for installing the patch, which greatly reduces the amount of time it takes for the patch to install and should cause less problems for users.

For information on the patch and instructions on how to install it, read the thread on the HG:R forums, or the thread on our forums here.

A new patch for Sacred 2 has been released today. The patch seems to contain mainly bugfixes, however there are also changes made in preparation of the new expansion, Ice & Blood.

The update has not been added to the Sacred 2 Update site, so for now the patch can be downloaded from the official forums here.

You can read the patch notes and discuss the changes in our Sacred 2 forums here. Thanks to Dirty for the heads up.
