Killing Floor 2 Update 1.75 Patch Notes, Latest Updates and Fixes

Killing Floor 2 Update 1.75 Patch Notes

Event

Last Hans Standing

• Scanners all over the world found Hans Volter’s hidden castle. Veiled by the Alpine fog and forests, Castle Volter seems to be a fortress in disguise. Your team has enough intel to determine that the castle is Volter’s personal clone laboratory. The time for the final assault to put the old man down for good has come in the new official map: Castle Volter.

Nevertheless, every operation needs funding. Horzine has put a nice and shiny price tag on some unusually dangerous Zed specimens. Hunt them down on the new Bounty Hunt Weekly Mode and make some good Dosh. However, we must warn you that the longer it takes you to take down the Bounties, the more dangerous they’ll be.

Addressed Community Feedback

As mentioned in the 2022 Killing Floor 2 ‘State of the Game,’ our goal is to bring to the community a continued stream of QOL changes for each update throughout the year. Please continue to report any QOL changes you believe should be added to the game by submitting your feedback in the ‘general’ section on our official forums at: https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/forum/killing-floor-2

General

• Weekly mode Selector:
  • Added a way to pick any desired Weekly Outbreak as game mode
  • Here are more details on how the Weekly Selector can be used
  • Find a match
    • This option prioritizes finding a populated Weekly Outbreak server regardless of the type first. If it needs to perform a server takeover to give the player a Weekly Outbreak server within their region, it will then be set to the current active weekly index rather than any hidden preference set within Create a Match or Solo.
  • Create a match
    • Creates a match with the chosen Weekly Outbreak, taking over an existing empty server enabled for takeover based on the requested Weekly Outbreak chosen.
  • Solo Offline
    • Lets you play locally on Solo mode for any Weekly Outbreak. Pick your favorite one using the selector (same filters as Create a Match).
• Server Browser
  • Allows the player to search for a specific Weekly Outbreak, showing an icon in the main list and indicating the weekly that the server hosts within the details.
• How to configure your server
  • Add the following line to your batch file: “?WeeklySelectorIndex=”
    • The will correspond to the desired Weekly. The list is the following:
      • 1: Boom
      • 2: Cranium Cracker
      • 3: Tiny Terror
      • 4: Bobble Zed
      • 5: Poundemonium
      • 6: Up, Up, and Decay
      • 7: Zed Time
      • 8: Beef Cake
      • 9: Blood Thirst
      • 10: Coliseum
      • 11: Arachnophobia
      • 12: Scavenger
      • 13: Wild West London
      • 14: Abandon All Hope
      • 15: Boss Rush
      • 16: Shrunken Heads
      • 17: Arsenal Ascent
      • 18: Primary Target
      • 19: Perk Roulette
      • 20: Contamination Zone
      • 21: Bounty Hunt

The current Weekly Outbreak rotation will continue working as usual, updated weekly. Weekly rewards will only be granted if the Current Weekly is chosen. Playing any custom Weekly Outbreak won’t grant any reward.

Balance

• Weapons
  • Reducto Ray
    • Duration of Reducto Ray’s Shrink incap reduces from 10s to 0.5 (dissipation rate from -10 to -200), meaning that after not attacking ZED for 0.5s, the internal meter resets back to 0 and you’d need to start applying incap from scratch. Incap wears off really fast now but ZEDs grow in size very slowly.
  • Head Hunter
    • Time to start head reduction x5 times quicker
    • Head reduction rate decreased 10%
  • Killerwatt
    • Default fire mode damage from 50 to 55
    • Alt-Fire charge time 30% reduction
    • Camera turn ratio is now x5 faster than the previous version when alt-firing
    • Spare ammo increased from 300 to 450
  • HRG Vampire
• Perks
  • Support
    • Fortitude
      • 10% Defense increase IN ADDITION to the regular health buff
    • Armor Piercing Shot
      • 10% Perk Weapon Damage increase IN ADDITION to the regular penetration buff
    • ZED TIME – Penetrator
      • Reload in real time IN ADDITION to the existing buffs. This will affect both mag-fed and non-mag-fed guns.
  • SWAT
    • All ammo prices reduced by 10% except for the HRG Nailgun
  • Field Medic
    • Acidic Rounds
      • Removed poison effect from Perk Weapons’ regular shots
      • Darts’ base damage increased; it’s easier now to break Zeds’ poison resistance threshold
      • Dart cost reduced in a 20% (except for HRG incision and HRG Healthrower)
• Additional
  • Trader time on Castle Volter is increased by x1.17 (x2.5 during the last wave so you can admire a museum for a bit longer).

Designer Notes:

We agreed that the heavily requested ability for players to set their Weekly Outbreaks is a must. The Weekly Selector is now in the game! Choose your favorite Weekly Outbreak to play, or find any specific match in the server browser from our expansive list of Weekly Outbreaks.

Regarding balance, we have made tweaks in some weapons following the feedback from the Community:

The Killerwatt was powerful but could be more comfortable to use. We sped up its alt-fire charge rate, increased the default fire mode damage, and made it easier to control while alt-firing.

The Head Hunter and the Reducto Ray had a shared problem: it took too long for Zeds with altered sizes (either heads or full bodies) to return to their original state. Now, recovery rates are sped up.

Also, the crosshair was enabled for the HRG Vampire, which is always handy!

We heard your feedback regarding the ammo price for one of the most ammo-consuming perks of the game, the SWAT. We hope players enjoy the ammo pricing adjustment.

Many players also expressed that these 3 Support skills weren’t being used as they did not feel enticing enough alternatives to their counterparts. We believe these additions will make choices more interesting for players. The addition of real-time reloads for mag-feed and non-mag-feed guns will allow players to fire off more shots in real-time when supports find themselves in need of more ammo.

Player input suggested that Acidic Rounds was a skill that caused more harm than helped the cooperative playstyle. We’ve taken that feedback and revamped the skill, maintaining the poison theme: now the darts shot from Medic weapons cause more damage and break the Zeds’ poison resistance quicker, allowing the Medic to help in specific situations instead of poisoning Zeds in unwanted scenarios.

Killing Floor 2 Gameplay

In Killing Floor 2, you can play alone or team up with six players to fight against zombie-like creatures called ‘Zeds.’ The game is set in a world where a bio-tech company’s experiments went wrong, leading to a widespread outbreak of these creatures. The story takes place after the events of the first game, with the outbreak now affecting the entire world.

Your goal is to survive waves of Zeds, with each wave getting progressively harder. As you defeat enemies, you earn in-game money and experience points. You can use this money to buy better weapons, armor, and other items from a store called the Trader. The Trader only opens for a limited time between waves, so you have to plan your purchases carefully.

During the game, if you achieve special kills like headshots, the game enters “zed time,” where everything slows down for a few seconds. This gives you a chance to make important decisions in the midst of battle. If your health gets low, you can use healing items to recover, but if your health reaches zero, you die and won’t respawn until the end of the wave. If all players die before completing a wave, the mission fails.

Before starting a match, you choose a perk or class, such as Field Medic or Commando, each with unique abilities. By using these perks and weapons specific to the class, you gain experience points, allowing you to level up and unlock new skills. These skills can be passive or active, helping you and your team survive against the Zeds.

In addition to cooperative play, there’s a player-vs-player mode where some players control the Zeds and try to defeat the mercenary players. Each type of Zed has its abilities, making the gameplay diverse and challenging. You can also customize your character’s appearance, although these changes are only cosmetic and don’t affect gameplay.
