So here we are, it’s nearly Christmas 2021 and Tripwire Interactive is not letting Killing Floor 2 die. It was originally released over five years ago and they’re still pumping out content for it. This time we have the Chop Til You Drop event which contains a new featured community map, new event objectives, new weekly game modes, new cosmetics, and to top it off, there are also some new achievements for you to unlock in Killing Floor 2.
Killing Floor 2 Is Five Years Old And Still Going Strong
I remember playing this game a good few years ago and absolutely loving it. I didn’t even realise it was still being supported by the developer. It’s always great to see games last so long.
Check out the announced update highlights from the press release below:
Key Features
New Featured Community Map: Carillon Hamlet
- This medium-sized map has an industrial style with a bright, daytime setting that’s perfect for making players feel all the holiday joy – until the Zeds arrive.
- Supported Modes: Survival, Weekly, and Endless
Event Objectives
- The new event introduces 5 new objectives tied to the Carillon Hamlet map where players can earn the Holiday Shopping Companion Backpack accessory.
New Weekly Game Modes
- Boss Rush: This mode consists of different waves of fighting with one random boss, with the difficulty scaling with each wave. After completing the mode, players are rewarded with the Boss Trophy Backpack accessory.
- Shrunken Heads: Sharpshooter? Not this match. In this mode, Zed’s heads are shrunken down and do not take head-shot damage. Also, all Zeds have a new critical spot, configured for each zed type. After completing the mode, players are rewarded with the Practice Target backpack accessory.
- Doshinegun: Turn your Cash into Bash! The Doshinegun is designed for the Survivalist Perk and comes with five unique skin variants!
- Free HRG Stunner: Designed to pack a punch with plenty of stopping power, this free weapon for SWAT class players is “shockingly” strong and great for keeping waves of zeds at bay.
New Cosmetics
- The Alchemist Weapon, Christmas Weapon Skin Bundle Packs, and Alchemist Gear Cosmetic Bundle Pack
- Chop ‘Til You Drop themed cosmetics will be purchasable via the Direct Bundle
