Are you itching for new Killing Floor 2 content? The massive Deep Blue Z update for the first-person survival horror game is here and it has plenty to offer. Let's dive right in!
New Map
In the Deep Blue Z update, a new map called Subduction is introduced, where you will go deep in the Marianas Trench to uncover the secrets of a Horzine Deep Sea Underwater research base. This map is compatible with Survival, Versus, Endless, and Weekly game modes.
New Weekly Game Mode
If you like killing waves of enemies, the new Contamination Zone weekly game mode has got you covered. In Contamination Zone, you will defeat a total of seven waves of enemies. When the game starts, a designated safe area is marked on the map and you must go to this location and protect it from invading Zeds. Take note that you have to stay in the safe zone during each wave because you'll take damage if you're standing outside of that area. It's also worth pointing out that Zed spawns are modified, so expect each wave to be more difficult than the last.
New Weapons
Two new weapons have been added to Killing Floor 2 to help you deal with the Zeds, especially in the Contamination Zone. The first is the HRG Bombardier, a grenade-firing drone for the Demolitionist. This is the perfect weapon for beating massive Zed waves because it can cause Stumble, impeding the enemy's attack and movement.
The second weapon is called the S12 Shockgun. This tier four semi-auto shotgun for the support class has a special trait that allows you to unleash an EMP wave by pressing the Alt-Fire button. This is a paid DLC weapon, however, so you have to spend money to add it to your arsenal.
