Save it for a Valentine's Day release: the Lovely Ladies of Killing Floor edition.
Should have the original patriarch come back as a normal zed. Maybe even as a miniboss. They were all clones, after all
Why has nobody suggested a small % chance of the boss wave spawning Hans and Kevin simultaneously? I long for the levels of rage and wiping that occurred when players encountered Double Trouble back in KFO-Transit. Shoot, let's even have a hidden achievement (Death to the Mad Scientist 2, anyone?) attached to defeating them both, that would really frustrate the completionists.
I think that would be a fine suggestion if they had their current health values (or planned health values) and stuff changed, otherwise it'd just be an incredibly frustrating fight that'd be fun for the first few minutes then become an absolute annoyance.
I mean can you imagine Hans just littering the level with grenades and Patriarch sneaking up/mortaring/blasting people all the while they are blind or trying to stay out Hans's gas clouds?
(In general I find the frequency Hans throws his Gas Grenades to be too much for a good Boss fight Duo.)
oh god no. The idea is really interessting but they should make something special outta it not 100% random. 1 Hour wasted on hoe is no fun
They mayhaps could make it less frustrating by dividing the number of players, so to speak, over the two bosses.
i.e. a 6p Hoe game would have a 3p Hoe Hans and a 3p Hoe Pat
huuuuh?
There is a group of us internally that have been talking about how a tag team could work. One comes out and does his first phase, then runs off, all of a sudden new intro, phase 2 of the second boss, runs off, then phase 3 is both for a final round.
If we don't get to the mutator first, I'm sure somebody else will!

Ooh that sounds interesting, maybe mix it up further so it could be a full Hans fight or full Patty fight, you never know what's going to happen each phase!
Things like Hans leaving whilst yellow amd coming back yellow would probably make the fight very long-lasting though. Phases would have to be juggled or managed somehow!
For real though that sounds great, it 'd really mix it up if there were 3 bosses too! Each perk would have a shining moment depending on boss and phase!
Also as for indoor mortars, I'm gonna take a gamble and say he just fires rockets indoors.
If there was a thing where 2 or more bosses were fighting together, would it be possible to have them use unique attacks or interactions based around that? Like gas and mortars, or Hans' grab and Patty's chest growth?

Good to see the dev team is talking about it. Most reaction to KFO-Transit on Hoe was frustration because players couldn't squeak by with their derpy medibow strat. Frankly I loved it. The remixed Abandon All theme certainly helped.
Great, all I can think of now is Kevin and Hans doing some kind of tag-team wrasslin' move on a player character, probably involving a folding chair and a table, followed by rambunctious hooting and hollering sounds from the crowd.

Hah I had a similar thought involving the Patty throwing you/knocking you back and skywards a bit, towards Hans who then tackles you out of the sky to feed on you!
Tell me that wouldn't look spectacular!
EDIT: 2 things I have noticed, in "fluff question" format!
1) where does Patty's rockets fire from? Is it like player guns, some cool moving mechanism or something?
2) is the chest tentacle hidden/ does it come out as a big thing when he attacks with it?

Neat idea. A great way to balance it out would be to put a timer on the fight. Sometimes you have a great team and simply dominate Hans. Maybe if you get Hans to his 3rd healing phase in under 1 or 2 minutes the game decides to throw in The Patriarch as well for more of a challenge.
Obviously if the team is struggling with Hans then they wouldn't have to worry about The Patriarch.
Everyone beware! It's Macho Mann Volter and Hulk "The Patriarch"" Hogan versus 6 new challengers in an all new tag team battle royale at WWE Live!!!!!! Dont miss it or you'll regret it!!!
If that happened, it would be awesome if they got new lines as well. Say if Hans went to yellow and ran away he would say something like. "Kevin! I require assistance!" Sounds like a great concept.

I'm sure he'll come back as a mod, A few nostalgic modders could easily reskin him.
Can anyone from TW confirm if all, or at least a decent amount of the current 74 locked/testing achievements will be available in the next update too? That 'and much more' message on the picture detailing what the update comes with makes me think so.
I would give anything just to see The Patriach "fist bump" Hans in their tag team intro
I have a feeling it would go something along these lines:

Unfortunately, the new and old Patriarch are so drastically different in terms of size and shape, so a simple reskin just wouldn't work. The hitboxes would be far too off.
