The Outbreak Character Pack for Killing floor comes with four new playable characters. Besides looking nice to other players (since this is first person and you cant even see your character skins) there is really no purpose to buying these characters. Out of the Four playable Characters, i feel that only two(three if I am feeling generous) are remotely cool looking.
List of Characters:
Agent Wilkes [url]http://store.steampowered.com/screenshot/view/1256/3/?size=1024[/URL]:
Publicly, Horzine Industries was hard at work fulfilling an MOD contract to develop the world's most advanced combat armor. Privately, they were cloning a subterranean army of violent and unfortunate looking servants. As Wilkes will testify, having found and liberated their Mark 7 suit, they were great at multitasking.
Foundry Worker Aldridge [url]http://store.steampowered.com/screenshot/view/1256/1/?size=1024[/URL]:
When you're being paid more than three times the expected salary for unskilled labor, you learn not to ask questions. When inhuman screams can be heard from further down the assembly line, you close the door and take lunch break. When the door flies off its hinges and a mangled combination of man and machine comes charging in - lunch break is over.
DJ Scully [url]http://store.steampowered.com/screenshot/view/1256/0/?size=1024[/URL]:
DJ Scully was AWOL from the military and spending his nights in the London underground spinning dark drum and bass, working under the table for the many clubs in London. During one of his sets he witnessed all his fans get shredded to pieces by a giant creature with flesh blenders for hands. These unfortunate events have thrust him back into the combat he was running away from.
Dr. Gary Glover [url]http://store.steampowered.com/screenshot/view/1256/2/?size=1024[/URL]:
As one of the only survivors from the Horzine Biotics Labs staff, Dr. Glover had a major hand in creating the horror that is now tearing London apart. As hard as he tries, he can't put this genie back in the bottle - not even with a double barreled shotgun.
Overall, i feel that Agent Wilkes looks too similar to the stock police officer/ and swat officer characters to be considered special. DJ Skully looks very bad *** and unique with his skull face mask. Dr. Gary Glover is the most unique because of his yellow haz-mat esque suit that makes him stick out from the crowd (but not to specimen NPC'S). Foundry Worker Aldridge is fairly decent alone, however compared to the rest his mask looks just like Dr. Gray Glover and his overall outfit is fairly plain.
Bottom Line: Although there is no real purpose to purchasing these characters; for only 1.99 which is mere pocket change to most people the real question is "Why not?" if its for bragging rights, or merely to be different from other killing floor users; For 1.99 why not pay to make your characters hands look different than anybody else and support the developers of such a good mod.
