Mercs,
As we keep moving forward with the battle against the outbreak of numerous science experiments roaming the streets, it’s already time for briefings about what to expect as the next assignment looms closer.
Top minds, or mad ones if you ask some, at Horzine have designed a new challenge to keep mercs training for unusual circumstances. Perk Roulette takes control of the merc’s conditions for each mission. In a modified Survival experience, each person’s perk will be randomly selected for them at the start of each wave. With 6 person squads, each perk will be assigned only once, meaning no two mercs can have the same. Additionally, a Perk should not be repeated on the same merc. Other than that, you know what to do, survive the waves and defeat the boss to complete the challenge.
One of KIlling Floor’s most celebrated features is the complete reworking of Zeds to fit Seasonal themes around the holidays. The Killing Floor series started this tradition with the original Killing Floor at a time where it was not something commonly seen. This involves new animations, textures, models, voice and other sounds and is something we are quite proud to add to the game 3 times a year. However, it has been requested to make the Seasonal Zeds optional and in the next update that will be something that players server admins can choose to enable.
Mercs, please note the details shared below are subject to change as this update is still being worked on. The exact numbers may not reflect what changes happen in the upcoming betas or full release of this update.
We have improved inventory sorting for cosmetic related items. Now the inventory sorts Cosmetics and Crafting item categories by rarity in a similar way to Weapons.
Order for Cosmetics:
