    How to opt into this beta:

    • Non-server hosts (Steam only): Right click KF2 in your library dropdown menu, select 'Properties', then 'Betas', then select 'preview -' in the dropdown menu

    • Server hosts (Steam only): Type the following in SteamCMD: 'app_update 232130 -beta preview'

    • Non-server hosts (EGS only): Simply launch the 'Killing Floor 2 Beta' install in the launcher.

    How long will this beta be running until?

    It will run from 25 Feburary to 9 March. (Dates are subject to change)

    I found a bug! Where do I submit a bug report?

    The Tripwire Bug Report subforum is the best way to bring a bug to Tripwire's attention.

    Will my progress from the standard build be carried over to the beta build (and vice versa)?

    Your stats and inventory will carry over from the standard game to the beta fine, though the reverse (beta to standard builds) may cause some issues (i.e. bugs tied to the upcoming seasonal objective rewards). Perk levelling between builds should work fine though.

    Truly devastating. Thankful for good meds.

    So I wonder if this is a nice easter egg or if this confirms Man Eater takes place in the same universe as Killing Floor.

    Frequent crashes on PS4

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 03:56 AM PST

    I've recently experienced heavy amounts of random crashes for some reason. Especially on multiplayer as soon as i join a server. Has this been an issue to anyone else or is it just me? Also noticed that my profile icon is being shown as the standard KF2 icon and no longer shows my PSN account photo.

    Error and blue screen

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 02:32 AM PST

    The game keep crashing every time I launch a game on any map for the last 2 days. Im not the only one sometimes when I can play some round I see people leaving for no reason like they play through the map and all then 2 or 3 /6 players leave suddenly and they come back the next round. I didnt see anyone talking about it and it happens a lot for me (ce-34878-0).

    Edit: Im playin right now and I think its bc we are too much in the same lobby Ive done a game where we were 3 n everybody who join get "kicked out" (4ppl) The next game with the same 2 guys I have been kicked out of the game when a guy join at the wave 2 (first wave was chill)

    How is KF2 these days?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 12:54 PM PST

    Haven't really played since mid-2019. Lost interest in playing when newly added medic weapons didn't really make me switch up my loadout any, then didn't come back when i heard tell of straight up DLC weapons. Has anything changed for the better since?

    Recorded a few sharpshooter takedowns with stability to see what I could come up with that wasn't suicide (that's why the railgun only shows once and the crossbow shows in all but one)

    The Beluga Beat and Ranger buffs - why are we "fixing" Sharp when it was never broken?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 03:27 PM PST

    So the Beluga Beat dropped today in the beta. As someone who was around for the legendary 2018 Summer Shitshow (when we got FP one shots and T5 Deags) this thing somehow still managed to shock me with its absurdity. Primary fire is AoE attack that kills through body damage and wipes out mobs with little effort. I'm confused...shouldn't Sharp be a little weak against trash to balance its effectiveness against larges?

    Not to mention the Ranger buffs. The perk was due for a slight buff, perhaps by making it stun scrakes with fewer shots and making stuns on calm FPs more consistent. But instead we got an obscene buff; now a single 9mm headshot is all you need to stun a raged FP. That is way too strong for the mild large count that we currently have in Vanilla. We'd need like double the present number larges to justify that level of power.

    This frustrates me. It's like TWI sees that Sharp is the least played perk in the game, but they do zero analysis to understand why no one plays it and ignore all the people pointing how strong it always has been. Think about it ; there are no ingame testing environments to learn takedowns, no tutorial videos about perk roles & synergies, no mechanisms to dissuade people from doing harmful things like joining as a perk that plays badly with the team comp, nade stacking FPs, stealing Mando extensions, selling other peoples guns, etc. Between all this and the endless buffs to Zerk/Medic's survivability, it's no wonder no one plays Sharp: every pub boils down to pure chaos and body damage, with zero coordination or takedowns, so of course the most aim dependent perk in this game suffers.

    But instead of fixing the underlying issues that cause practically every pub match to play out as the same chaotic mess, they just give Sharp a weapon that allows it to join in the mindless spam, and buff an already decent skill so that we can trivialize the already-trivial larges....

    Oh well, what can I say. Hopefully the live release tones some of this stuff down. And at least we still have the reasonably balanced Assassin and other Sharp weapons to turn to. In the meantime, catch me maining SWAT since it's one of the few perks with any integrity left.

    E: Thanks for the vid, Leon, I hate it

    How do I add a Custom Map to my Killing Floor 1 server? (using gameservers)

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 07:46 PM PST

    I rented a server for a month because I wanted to play with some friends, it works well enough, the only issue is, I want to add a custom map but I have absolutely no idea what i'm supposed to do, something about web admin but I have no clue how to clue how to access it.

    Any help? I saw a video about adding custom map to kf2 servers using gameservers, but it doesn't seem like it's the same procedure with killing floor 1. Thanks in advance.

    Guns to add in the future?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 07:31 PM PST

    Sup guys! I'm brand new here to the sub. I discovered this kickass game when a friend of mine got me into it at his house a few years ago, but I just now bought it today.

    So, to the topic at hand: one thing I immediately noticed when I first played the game those few years back: the guns and their animations are absolutely sick. Lots of attention to detail and the reloads themselves are well animated. With that being said, many of us have probably already imagined other guns being in the game that aren't yet, so, that's what I'd like to make this post about!

    My wishlist: the AUG A3 M1. If you are unfamiliar with this AUG variant I encourage you to look it up. Basically has a modern integral scope with picatinny on the 12 and 3 o' clock positions, and the body has an A3 bolt release, and a magwell that accepts regular AR pattern Stanags. If not this variant, then perhaps a regular A3 with the flat top rail and the AUG magazine. This is all I can think of at the moment, lemme know what you guys would like to see in game as well! I love talking about what guns to add in videogames.

    It's time to bring back the Fleshpound round.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 05:18 PM PST

    With all of these buffs and new weapons i think it's past time that TWI buff the Zeds and add some more Zed variations cause the game is seriously getting too easy now where it's like i either have to play on SUI or HOE to actually have a challenge. Not that i don't like the buffs and DLC/HRG weapons but the Zeds need a buff now too cause this game is just becoming a sandbox.

    I'm all in favor for bringing back the all FP round. I think It's time for it to come back. With all the new buffs and gear we have i would like to see it all put to the ultimate test. I think FP round is highly doable now than ever before.
