Default Heavy Metal Content Pack for Killing Floor released and a 10% discount this week

Today we have released the free Heavy Metal Content Pack for Killing Floor AND we are throwing in a 10% discount on the game for the week. Following on from the success of the earlier DLC Character Pack, this entirely free update brings 2 new weapons, a brand new map and a bunch of other new features to the game. The major ones:
  • 2 new weapons: the AK-47 assault rifle beefs up the Commando Perk, with heavier hitting power in semi and full automatic fire modes. The Katana is a classic melee weapon that combines speed, reach and cutting power.
  • A brand new map: KF-Foundry. This map is set in a Horzine manufacturing facility, tucked away in an old steel foundry. Multiple levels, strange machinery and molten metal all serve to create an eerie and frantic location to fight off the specimen hordes!
Further new features include:
  • Added "On Fire" behavior to all Specimens. When a specimen burns a certain amount, they will now freak out and behave like a burning zed should, making the flamethrower more effective.
  • Updated the flashlight to look and act in a more realistic fashion.
Tweaks include:
  • Added smoke to the Scrake's Chainsaw.
  • Adjusted the spawning of the Patriarch boss character to prevent cases where the boss was spawning too close to players.
  • Adjusted Bullpup's firing sound to have more bass.
  • Adjusted "Crisp up" settings for some of the Specimens when on fire. Updated Mutator and Map White Lists (see the forums for more details)
And, of course, some bug fixes:
  • Fixed Scrake's head glowing when decapitated.
  • Fixed "The Long War", "The Hard War", and "The Completely Suicidal War" achievements not unlocking.
  • Fixed known exploits on KF-Farm, KF-Manor, KF-Offices, and KF-WestLondon.

500+ mb... I guess new animations for "On Fire"? It will be awesome if it distracts scrakes and fleshpounds even for a moment.

Totally worth the wait the Katana is awesome and the AK is a great I would hate to think what the recoil is like for a level 1 commando though.

Any word on a trial any time soon? $2 off is great and all, but I think people would be more likely to buy the game if they could try it out first.

I went on to try out the new stuff, and there are no servers, except for 3, 2 of which I fail to connect to, and only 1 other.

People need to update their servers, so it'll take some time depending on how fast they get to it.

Awesome update, On Fire seems to stop all zeds from attack for a moment. AK 47 is just what I needed and Katana...

...oh boy I'm so playing Berserk now.

My first fire of the AK earned a big "Holy ****" from me. It's ROF/damage ratio is exactly what Commando felt like it needed.

Foundry is gorgeous too. I'm sure many a map maker are planning revisions to make use of all the additional meshes and textures TW added. The lighting in particular looks phenomenal.

Again, TWI does not fail to impress. So.....how's about some new specimen types for your next update

It's free yes and Steam should download it automatically.

Awesome job TW!

The new map is badass. I've yet to try it in multiplayer but i had a go on solo and it was awesome fun as are the Katana and AK. The AK is just what the commando needed and it's much fun to use.

Anyone else expecting more? I mean know offense, this update is great and I love the weapons... but I was expecting a few more than 2 weapons, and maybe 1 or 2 more maps.

Good job though! Looking forward to more great content!
