What is Killing Floor 2?

Killing Floor 2 is a first-person horde shooter set in a collapsed continental Europe after a biotech experiment spreads hostile clones. In solo or six-player co-op matches, you choose a character and perk, enter outbreak zones, and fight hordes with firearms and melee weapons; a separate PvP mode has teams alternate between humans and Zeds.

Not for you if...

−you avoid graphic gore and frequent dismemberment

What players say

88% of 129,446 reviews are positive · 80% of 226 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the satisfying shooting, weapon and perk variety, and freedom to experiment with builds. The main complaint is the unusually large installation size; recent players also report connection drops, launch failures, offline play without progression, and heavy monetization.
