After I bought the DLC pack I was immediately able to chose my new character and have it show up, however when I visited the trader, the AK as well as the katana does not show up on the buy list. If some one would be kind enough as to point out why, I'd appreciate it.
Unable to see the new weapons in the Trader's shop
- Thread starter sNOOZ
- Start date
I don't understand why so many people think the new weapons are out, when it doesn't say that they are anywhere, and in fact, it's said that they're not in several threads on these and the Steam forums.
Reading the patch-notes would be far easier than starting a new thread, wouldn't it?

Under the commando's perk progress, it already lists the ak47 as a commando weapon. It got my hopes up and then smashed them to bits when I got to the trader.
Aww. Here, have some ice-cream.
I think the reason it was added to the perk description is to end the speculation which class will be getting the AK, and to show people it will be very soon. Also, they probably have all the interface files ready to go and are still working on tweaking and fine-tuning the new weapons. So I have a feeling the UI is pretty much finished for a couple of versions onwards and they just released the UI update now with some other changes to Specimen AI and other things instead of having to update the user interface for a second time when the Heavy Metal Content Pack comes out (which would be a bit silly). But that is just my reasoning with it.
Anyway, I am just happy to wait. However long it takes, it will be worth it.

I'm aware, but they just put it in ahead of time probably to make it easier to release the update later.
All I'm saying is that I'm sure there'd be an official announcement thread if the big update was actually released, along with it being in the patch notes.
When I see a game being updated, the first thing I do is read the patchnotes, rather than leap to conclusions about what's in the update then get disappointed when my wild guesses aren't correct and proceed to start another thread rather than just figuring "Hmm, maybe it's not out after all".
I just think it's silly to see at least five threads here and on the Steam forums basically saying "where is the AK?!?" when there has been no indication whatsoever that the Heavy Metal update has been released. It's much easier to check official channels to see if it's actually out than to spam the forums with "OMG wer mai AK?!?" threads.
I too had some hope that the new weapons and map would be with the last update. Otherwise, why was it so damn big? We had already downloaded the extra characters before, because we saw them being tested out prior to being made publicly available. I don't really care I guess, maybe they release a bit of extra content with each update to make them all roughly the same size?
Thanks I read the patch notes and I realized it was comming soon
guess when I saw the AK stats under the commando perk I somehow thought we could already buy it, still, looking forward to the heavy metal update.a simple explaination as to why people keep thinking the new weapons are out......

Its not improbable that if Im seeing the perk requirements under my perk list, that I'd expect to find that weapon in the trader shop.
I do not know what your obligations are, but my chief concern as far as my time goes is work, then what ever time left over will be for hanging out with my GF and my buddies, then time left from that will be for gaming.
I load up killing floor from my start menu, not from my steam application, then launching killing floor, so when I launch the game, take a leak, or grab some food, and come back and the game is loaded, more frequently than not, I would not know if the game updates.
Thanks Yoshiro for your professional and timely response. I'll be sure to check the updates now that i'm visiting these forums more as a member.
