- Four New Weapons
- HRG Incision – Field Medic
- A railgun that fires
overcharged, highly-piercing bullets and darts. The bullets are capable of
shocking Zeds and inducing the EMP effect on them. Darts heal other players for
substantial amounts of health when targeting other players. When used on Zeds,
these darts deal much more damage than standard darts and have the potential to
knock down or stumble Zeds caught in their path.

- Fire large, nitrogen ice
shards that explode on impact, dealing damage and applying the freeze
affliction to any Zeds caught inside its radius.
- Mosin Nagant – Sharpshooter

to fire at distant threats, stab at nearby threats, and block and parry damage
from incoming threats.

weapon. This weapon can be shared amongst players with the weapon sharing
system.
- Riot Shield / Glock 18 – SWAT
- A combination of the
Riot Shield and Glock 18. The Riot Shield can mitigate most incoming, frontal
damage only while a player is aiming down the sights. Its bash is capable of
slamming into multiple Zeds crowding in front of you. The Glock 18 is a fully
automatic pistol with two fire modes: single and automatic.
- This is a paid DLC weapon. This weapon can be
shared amongst players with the weapon sharing system.
- The Return of the Christmas Seasonal Zeds

In Killing Floor 2, players descend into continental
Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has
quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the
European Union— Just one month after the events in the original KILLING
FLOOR, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray;
communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces
have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe
know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into
hiding.
Not all have given up hope though… A group of civilians and
mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established
privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone
outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.
Killing Floor 2 is developed and published by Tripwire Interactive and is
published at retail by Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive for the Xbox One,
Xbox One X, PlayStation®4 Pro, PlayStation®4, and PC. This title has been rated
M by the ESRB, PEGI 18, USK 18.
