Tripwire Interactive just released their holiday themed update for Killing Floor 2 today across all platforms: Xbox, PlayStation, and PC via Steam. They're calling it the Yuletide Horror update and it comes packed with a lot of Christmas cheer.
New in today's update is a new boss, a new community map, a new objective map, four new weapons, and the return of the Christmas themed enemies. Of course, this update also comes alongside a sale of the game through Steam. It seems like the game is sitting at 67% off, making the game just $9.89 until December 19th.
As usual, this update is free to everyone that already owns the game.
- ·New Boss: The Matriarch

- Four New Weapons
- HRG Incision – Field Medic
- A railgun that fires overcharged, highly-piercing bullets and darts. The bullets are capable of shocking Zeds and inducing the EMP effect on them. Darts heal other players for substantial amounts of health when targeting other players. When used on Zeds, these darts deal much more damage than standard darts and have the potential to knock down or stumble Zeds caught in their path.
- Winterbites – Gunslinger
- Fire large, nitrogen ice shards that explode on impact, dealing damage and applying the freeze affliction to any Zeds caught inside its radius.
- Mosin Nagant – Sharpshooter
- Five-shot, bolt-action, internal magazine-fed military rifle. This M91/30 allows a capable sharpshooter to fire at distant threats, stab at nearby threats, and block and parry damage from incoming threats.
- This is a paid DLC weapon. This weapon can be shared amongst players with the weapon sharing system.
- Riot Shield / Glock 18 – SWAT
- A combination of the Riot Shield and Glock 18. The Riot Shield can mitigate most incoming, frontal damage only while a player is aiming down the sights. Its bash is capable of slamming into multiple Zeds crowding in front of you. The Glock 18 is a fully automatic pistol with two fire modes: single and automatic.
- This is a paid DLC weapon. This weapon can be shared amongst players with the weapon sharing system.
- HRG Incision – Field Medic
- The Return of the Christmas Seasonal Zeds
