Killing Floor

The updates available for Killing Floor include four new maps selected from the Killing Floor Grindhouse Custom Map Making Competition, two guest passes so you can let friends try out Killing Floor, as well as a free completely reworked Mod, Defense Alliance 2.

The four maps are KF-Icebreaker, KF-Departed, KF-Crash, and KF-FilthsCross which is set in an underground tube station and is said to be one of the most challenging maps ever made for Killing Floor.

The all new mod, Defense Alliance 2, features six playable classes – Medic, Mechanic, Rocketeer, Machine Gunner, Sniper and the Rifleman – and pits teams of players against each other in attack/defend scenarios. Players are also able to set up turrets, drop ammo boxes and more to add more depth to the tactical gameplay.

Defence Alliance 2 also has a secondary gameplay mode named Co-op Specimen Survival. In this mode players are set up against waves of specimens and are able to use turrets and mines to help defend their position. However players only have a limited amount of respawns so care must be taken is victory is to be achieved.

The new maps as well as the the new mod Defence Alliance 2 can be discussed on our Killing Floor forums.

Killing Floor

Along with “Level Up” the new Nightfall Character Pack DLC was also released, which contains 4 more new playable character in similar fashion to the last Character Pack DLC. It can be bought from Steam for $1.99.

For more information about the new additions such as the weapons, maps, perks, Husk specimen and more, as well as a full list of changes included in the “Level Up” content pack, check out the dedicated Tripwire forum thread.

Killing Floor

Details of the content pack are sketchy at the moment due to IGN securing an exclusive preview and write up of the pack. The article will be released on Tuesday October 20 so expect more news then.

However, some details of the content pack have emerged thanks to an ad on bloody-disgusting.com. According to the ad, the content pack will include:

• 7 new weapons
• 3 new maps
• New Demolition perk
• Perk level caps raised
• New specimen – Husk

It will be good to get a proper run down of the inclusions, but just by looking at the list already I’d say we’re in for a pretty decent update especially when you consider it’s cost price (hint:free). So if you haven’t tried Killing Floor yet but have been thinking about it, remember to grab it from the Steam store from October 22-25 and play for free!

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.

Killing Floor

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.

Killing Floor

The game features First Person cooperative zombie killing action, a persistent perk system which allows players to make permanent improvements their character’s skills and abilities, an achievement system, as well as the SDK which allows the community to continue to improve upon the game by making new levels and mods. And if that wasn’t enough, those who have fond memories of Hellgate may also experience a feeling of nostalgia as you blast your way through countless zombies on the streets of London once more.
