What's Killing Floor 2?
Its a PC/PS4 co-op game where you and 5 of your best buds (or random strangers) get dropped into an area full of genetically mutated, flesh hungry monsters. Its also super fun!
https://youtu.be/z2K9gfkcqEsSo, its a sequel? Whats new?
Well besides the graphics upgrade,
- 3 New perks - Gunslinger (Dual pistols) and 2 others still unrevealed
- A new melee system - Parries, combos, and Mount & Blade style directional swings give a little more options to those who get in close
- No more grinding out stalker kills or welding points, instead of requirements all perk actions give you XP. Perks go up to level 25
- Perk traits - Better semi-auto damage or a faster reload? Hp regen or bleed damage? Customize your perks for your own playstyle
- Character customization - Yes, hats are in.
- Start with a perk weapon from the first wave, no more pistol rounds
- Each class has a unique knife and grenade
- New enemies - Cyst, Slasher, and a new boss besides the Patriarch
- Enemy AI changes with difficulty
- A bunch of other small stuff (doors don't come back, lights can be destroyed, blood stays the entire match, guns animated at a crazy high FPS, etc)
Sounds great, where can I play it?

Only if the chunks are small enough.
That's why I play so much Demolitionist.
I AM WELDING THIS DOOR!
Day. One. Purchase.
I am SO pumped!
You mean the "Good luck shooting shit through my giant smoke screen!" class?
Go as Firebug. Problem solved.
Firebugs solve every problem ever.
Story of my life
This is the best part. Welding for the support was such a grind.
KF was good times

Sometime Soon is all I can find on that.
I never grinded and apparently welded enough normally that I'm like level 4 or 5 support now (it's been awhile so I don't remember exactly)

Given the absurd amount of hours I got out of KF1, I'm not hesitating to throw money at them as soon as possible.
New maps and a free weekend coming up for KF1
I'm already in love with this game
