Killing Floor 2 exclusive first look

[BD231]

Game's fun just like the first one but the maps feel a bit cramped.

Anyone figure out how to disable the 60fps lock yet?

I've played a few rounds on normal difficulty. Very doable, except for the final boss who has killed all of us every single time. Still haven't defeated him. He takes a metric-shitton of damage, like holy cow, I don't remember the Patriarch from KF1 taking this much damage (but of course he probably did and people just had the time to get really good at taking him down). This is playing with people who are level 3-5's, so we're not exactly total newbs either.

Also - because I'm pedantic - "the patriarch" is the name specific only to the final boss on KF1. The name of the first new final boss in KF2 (there will be more than one) is Hans Volter.

Try activating variable framerate in the video settings.

Let your team know the boss can't do any damage while draining life from people. Once he starts doing that use a medic to keep the person being drained alive while everyone else unloads on him and he goes down fast.

Sweet. I had a lot of fun playing KF for many hours. I'd like to see difficulty ramp up in more ways than just "enemies now have way more health/damage/stun resistance" etc though.

This is actually my favorite thing about Killing Floor 2. The basic enemies have the same health on Hell on Earth with 6 players as they do on hard with 1 person. The difficulty comes from increased speed and everything is harder to hit with their run animations all over the place. Yes the Fleshpound and Scrake still have a very high health on 6 player Hell on Earth, focus on them for too long and you get overrun with the smaller enemies.

Let your team know the boss can't do any damage while draining life from people. Once he starts doing that use a medic to keep the person being drained alive while everyone else unloads on him and he goes down fast.

He doesn't do any damage to your teamates, but for all intents and purposes you cannot damage him while he is life draining. If you're not a medic sit around and reload your guns.
