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?
Killing Floor 2 is the sequel to the original Killing Floor, taking place one month after the events of the first game. The Zed outbreak has spread across Europe, and you play as a mercenary fighting to survive wave after wave of increasingly difficult enemies.

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

- Level up your perks - Gain experience to unlock new abilities
