Killing Floor 2: The Ultimate Zed-Slaying Experience
Killing Floor 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter that pits you and up to 5 teammates against waves of mutated creatures called Zeds. Released in 2015 by Tripwire Interactive, KF2 has become one of the most popular co-op shooters, with millions of players worldwide.
What is Killing Floor 2?

The game follows a simple but addictive formula:
- Survive waves of Zeds - Each wave gets progressively harder
- Earn Dosh (money) - Kill Zeds and complete objectives
- Buy weapons and armor - Spend between waves at the trader
- Face the boss - The final wave features a powerful boss enemy
- Level up your perks - Gain experience to unlock new abilities
