Killing Floor 2 | SUMMER 2022 UPDATE BETA 1 OUT NOW! - 4 NEW Weapons, New Map!

[@cycy9154]

To all the people disliking the summer sideshow having nothing to do with the OG circus setting, remember - we still have clowns, it's just the Sabertooth executives. 😔

Facts

[@Gamer_In_Yellow]

The Reducto Ray will do more harm than good. Shrinking an enemy is just making every enemy a spider, making players need to look down to target them, instead of looking forward at the heights we've gotten used to for weakspot hits. If it makes them do less damage and makes them slower (because of the extra space their little legs have to run ) then ok, but if its just visual, its annoying

[@friendlyreaper9012]

Yeah literally 0 purpose. You can kill trash with anything and like you said it just makes bigger zeds more dangerous. A flesh pound with a smaller head hit box is never fun to fight.

[@EliteSpectre32]

If you've played Tiny Terror you'll notice that zeds attack length is affected by their size, so tiny scrakes, fleshpounds and bosses have much smaller melee attacks. In tiny terrors you could kite a fleshpound by just walking backwards when they were small as their stubby hands wouldn't reach so it has that going for it. Realistically RPGing a fleshpound is better than make it less effective at chasing but I'm sure it'll help vs bosses with people who struggle to kite them properly.

[@ZacMrMan]

I always come back to your videos once every 3+ months in hope they add some cool new weapons, they never fail to let me down adding such boring stuff. Thank you for covering the new content and doing it so well, keep it up.

[@QueenLiliTheRed]

The servers are pretty much empty on ps4, they just need to stop making dlc for this game and work on kf3 already IMO , no sense in hanging onto this game Tripwire just needs to make KF3 already

[@professormetal4411]

@@QueenLiliTheRed The trouble with that is that this is a live service game, similar to GTA, the new Assassin's Creed coming soon, Red Dead 2, etc. The idea behind these games revolves around not dedicating the resources needed to create a full new game and instead focus a smaller amount of resources on updates once or twice a year so that you can increase profit margins. And if games studios play their cards right, as the game gets bigger (and theoretically better), game sales increase as playerbase increases, which also increases micro transaction sales. This isn't to say that I think this is right or that I support this approach, but this is the approach that studios are turning to as games like GTA Online, Warframe, Destiny 2 Killing Floor 2, etc. are proving very successful.

[@infntnub]

8:20 "you're missing shots, what are you doing? " I cracked up lol...

[@RasowaSowa]

The Reducto Ray would be useful if shrunken zeds had a lowered collision point and you could just jump on them and stun them. Especially big boys and fat guys.

[@ElysiumLeoSK]

Okay, the Matriarch doing chipmunk voice when shrunk is pretty funny HAHAHAHA I admit that the Shrinking Ray pistol is more of a tool than a weapon, and a tool that may benefit the Chaotic perks (Demolitionist and Firebug) rather than the perks that require aim since it will mess them up. HRG Headhunter seems alright, like you said it's more of a supporting weapon. It stuns though. The HRG Crossboom is good. You can aim it to the head and that head explodes. The flying Sentinel seems neat but gimmicky. I'm fairly excited for the event overall. Great video, man! Keep up the good work.

[@guttosmile]

From what I can tell: - the bot is lacking across the board (dmg, lifespan, utility). It would have been better if it simply reduced zeds’ movement speed in a given location for the duration rather than shoot. Or it should stay indefinitely/until relocated/used as a suicide drone for some hefty dmg. - the head popper thing…seems too clunky to use especially the second fire. There are easier ways to stun a large zed, rather then headshot several times and then if you have it recharged burst the wave. As for trash - omg 9mm does it better. - the shrinker chews thru ammo like mad, affects only one target and messes the line of sight. Just imagine a dwarf scrake appearing at one’s feet hidden by a crown of other zeds. Yet the headshots do have an effect with it btw. - the crossboom looks promising. It doesn’t stun by itself, yet the explosion can stun nearby enemies like any other explosive weapon in the arsenal. The difference between the primary and secondary fire is noticeable. The former has significantly bigger direct hit dmg (for big boyz), when the latter area of effect (for trash). The concept looks workable. No switching between fire modes. And qps/fps seem to melt. Less dmg but faster reload compared to the rpg.

[@haustek9341]

Quick changes i would make to this, Sentinel: Increase dmg and ammo pull, only allow 2 sentinels on your inventory, remove the upgrade system for it, like the c4, manual detonation with either strong explosive dmg or a big stun so when a fp/sk is nearby you can stun him sacrificing one of your drones but taking out a big treat Reducto ray: Add a charging alt fire than loads with dmg, when you shoot it launches a pircing laser beam that deals a good amount of dmg, example: Can one shot husk and sirens with a headshot with a max charge of 6 shots, so it caps at 6 then overheats so you have to wait a lil bit to use it again

[@leanmxdr]

The manual detonation of the sentinel would be fun if it was like the tediore weapons of borderlands, the more ammo it has left the stronger the explosion

[@kamik1ng]

The reducto ray could also weaken the enemies damage, so it's more vulnerable and it does less damage. Would be a great support weapon for sure, specially for the big zeds. For balance purposes, it should reduce the total ammo to waste only on viable enemies idk.

[@SirIsaacClarke]

Honestly, I'd buy the new weapons if not for the price. They try to justify it with the skin buddle with it, but you know as well as I do, they could just add the skins to the loot pool.

[@empty2892]

The shrink ray also makes the zeds take more damage so it's kind of a team weapon. But at the same time it can make your teammates miss their shots. On the casual level of play though it ain't much of a problem and I imagine it might help demo/fb clean house faster, or even ss if they can coordinate with you

[@EcchiRevenge]

Maybe drone self destruction damage is good? Like it can be used as Commando on-perk C4 in a pinch?

[@rodriexu]

maybe the reductor can be used to shrink large zeds and stun with a jump stomp have you tested that?

[@tiorast650]

The drone is almost the same as using the c4, more of a tool than weapon, covering one weakness of the classes in certain aspects

[@ZombieSlayer876]

thing is that clearing trash is very much not a weakness of the commando, its the only thing the class is good at. so having a drone that just does what the class does (but worse) is kinda weird. I guess a sharpshooter can offperk it? but even then, it seems rather weak. its a fun gimmick though.

[@tiorast650]

@@ZombieSlayer876 it is but when i come with tools i meant, offperk like everyone can use it, sorta like the c4 even a medic can use it to deleted 50%/70% of a quarter health

[@lordyasha5944]

i think when playing with people you can put all the drones on one hallway and use other weapons with a lot of bullet efficiency like the m500,crossbow,flame thrower and that stuff

[@kaibakias]

the map reminds me an old map back to kf1 with the ship and raining

[@Jojje4567]

It seems Tripwire and Saber wanted to make the collectibles on this map extremely challenging to find. They blend in so much with the enviroment.

[@lunaticleone8534]

exactly lmao, like they actually hid them this time, and they made them high instead of eye level

[@aidanfenton4377]

Drone is pretty good as just an alarm to cover a flank, its peace of mind

[@brownvest7147]

Just seeing the crossboom makes me think what the upgrade system could have been. All I could hope for is an update purely dedicated to the life of this game, similar in vein to operation health for Rainbow Six. Rework the HRG weapons to not be separate weapons, and rework the upgrade system. Imagine if it was you sink x amount of dosh to completely change the way your weapon works. A lot of the HRG weapons could be used like this, the Buckshot, Headhunter, Incision

[@josephlane1614]

They kinda made it clear what the crossboom alt does, so idk why you think it's a stun. . . Sentinel would be good for people holding out in the barn on farmhouse. He can cover the cysts that drop while you focus on the main door.

[@SaidAlot]

Quick question. What happens to the drone when you unequip/drop it? Does the drone break or stop functioning or does it still shoot regarless when you are carrying it? If it still functions then you you could potentially buy a drone, deploy it then drop it so you can go back to using the usual fal/scar/401 loadout. Pretty much adding a 7th player on a full lobby or a 2nd player on a solo run.

[@DangOldRegularOld]

I should do pickup flicks in this game!

[@italliancanadiancommunist4556]

the reducto ray seems like it'd be very useful if you get cornered! just shrink any skrake or flesh pound in your way and slide right past them lol

[@dechmusic]

12:30 does this weapon reduce Zeds damage or it just reduce their hitbox?

[@PathfinderBoi]

Just the hitbox

[@dechmusic]

@@PathfinderBoi nice weapon to complicate teams life

[@basicallybacon2593]

Give the drone the damage of the tommy gun, only target clots/spider/gorefast + variants, and it has a target kill goal for it to explode. Only then will i use it, everything else is fine

[@Zipperskull_]

If they ever consider adding utility in the game, I would like them to add a deployable emp trap that slow down and damage zeds with whenever they pass through it. I think the berserker or support could have something like it. I'm going to lie but the sentinel turret is actually pretty cool, I mean just imagine adding utility deployables like the emp trap in the game 🤔. It's like setting your ground on the maps against invasive zeds in 10 waves hell on earth, utility deployables are going to come in handy in kf2. A deployable short range portal that can be placed in a different spots on the map just to escape a group of zeds chasing you. Give tripwire some ideas.

[@ravenclawtom]

hi proper update finder. i cant wait to see what you thnk of the new stuff

[@kahnviper2330]

Sentinel should be more reworked than just updated in my opinion, I was more desiring an actual sentry gun with a separate upgrade mechanic where you use dosh as “metal” to upgrade it

[@lordyasha5944]

i think the reducto ray needs half the ammo and double the dps and could be good

[@Chryzzz]

el dron y la pistola encogedora son de DLC se consideraría pay to win?

[@kamronchance825]

Console commands aren't working for me, any tips and pointers would be great

[@arex531]

wait, the zeds don't get weak as you shrink them? If so, imagine the beautiful combo that would be hemogob and the shrink ray.

[@eg9325]

Oh boy can’t wait to play Division floor 2 with turret drone.

[@mercerrave1832]

Thanks for update path, I watched you since 2017,I'm playing on PS4 since then I miss a lot killing zeds, I wish I came back to the game, need to grind some to repair console.. wherever I watch your vid it's feels like I'm there and it's still 2017 18

[@v3pic]

They said the shrink ray increases damage taken by the zed, was it noticeable at all?

[@PathfinderBoi]

First impressions not really. But I imagine you shrink them down and change to a different weapon to kill them, that should work.

[@EnergySurge09]

It’s about damn time we got a turret(drone) in Killing Floor 2

[@hk-4714]

Commentary: It's a real shame the Crossboom doesn't have a pushback the way the Seal Squeal does. There were a whole lot of cases where you were eating your own explosions because of that. Still, I think I'll probably wind up using it after I play with it once when someone else has it. As far as the Head Hunter goes, I'm not sure if the alt-fire would work to kill zeds if they didn't have a dart in them. If it does produce a small radius circle around you which gives zeds an aneurism then that would actually be really nice for sharpie against all the crawlers and stalker hos. Sentinel to me seems like it would be really good if you knew spawn locations that tended to produce little ones vs big ones. Would really go a long way toward suppressing crawlers and stalkers. I'm not sure if it sees the stalkers if you're not near it? I would hope so. Another possible good use for it is to place the first one outside a door you weld, extending the time that the door can remain blocked off. When you hear zeds beating on the door just place a new sentinel on your side to be ready for the zeds. Those are a couple of tactics I intend to use with it anyway.

[@Ledzepisbest1]

Ok im getting that sentry bot unless its nerfed to Hell and back. Thanks Path and keep em comin!!

[@dksannkat141]

Better than previous dlc receny release. Interesting is the best way to describe these ones

[@geminicrest]

Tbh I kinda want the drone to change weapons based on your perk. Shooting heal gas if you're medic, buckshot if you're support, dragon's breath shells if you're firebug. Something like that

[@cloacky4409]

Will these new weapons be free, or will be a part of some dlc?

[@dvlboii6335]

do you have to pay money for the new guns ?

[@foxatronix1742]

The crossboom is the only one that I think would be viable in multiplayer. The rest are just some tacky things that that added for fun. Meanwhile there is a fine line between fun and fjnctional (I know they work I was doing a play on words so let me be). Finally I would just like to say thanks pathfinder for all this content of kf2 over the years ,I don't know if you'll see this comment but hey keep playing what you wanna and I gotta thank you for the heads up for these weapons cuz I play on PlayStation as you know and it's nice to see gameplay of the weapons and hearing some honest opinions on these things and not just wishful thinking of these things.

[@redangel6217]

Honestly, it would've been cooler to make the drones more like utility drones if they are not gonna buff its damage ... and as someone said, less charges, take out the upgrade for it, but make it way better across the board. Would've been cool if you could change it's properties, so you can make it a following healing drone, a movement speed reduction zone drone, a damage reduction either by giving your team that, or by making enemies deal less in that certain area, a damage amplification drone, a speed zone for your team drone (reload speed/movement speed/aim speed/melee attack speed) of course make them timed drones, there cannot be 2 different drones in the same area of effect no matter how many commandos... damn... so much potential and so many options with that ... i don't think it would be broken really, you can always just adjust their cost or kg or charges, or the time they can stay on, or the numbers etc ... it just kinda fits with the commando honestly, because he's supposed to be the "team leader".

[@EliteSpectre32]

I think people are looking at the drone the wrong way. It isn't supposed to be able to hold a side it's suppose to pick of flanking stragglers which it seemed to do quite well. Put him on a small sides, like places where most of the zeds come from vents and it'll mop up all the crawlers, stalkers and clots that crawl out of them. It seems to have a decent amount of ammo especially when you consider you have 5 deploys of it for this job the only thing I'd say is it needs an indicator either on the UI or via sound that he's out of ammo.

[@darnydeeds5729]

This is basically a lesser version of the Maxis Drone from Origins. Atleast it's the most unique thing we got out of this game in the past 3 years...sigh.

[@PathfinderBoi]

It's... at least a new mechanic? I will admit it's pretty poorly done, at least in beta 1.

[@Zipperskull_]

There needs to be a indicator of where you would place the turret.

[@Jessie.Wind93]

can you heal the sentinel with a healing dart?

[@DrLoyon]

If the seasonal reward is a melee weapon that would be fantastic

[@BoozeGoon]

"Imagine if the trident was a weapon" im sure a few TW employees said the same thing but, quotas

[@lw3042003]

Shrink Must be a tribute to Ratchet and Clank

[@noobguy9973]

Sentinel drone seems like it would be thousand times better if it just got consistent headshots.

[@GNF_cao]

its a bug? you are lvl 25 with demo but lost HP on you own crowsboom shot ?

[@tiorast650]

The m79, seal, rpg, m203 and c4 all of theses can do auto damage if you are in your own radius, if you use the more AoE skill for example you will instally notice the self damage, only some weapons doenst have auto because they are designed for the demo in close range such as the HX28, Kaboomstick and the tommyboom

[@GNF_cao]

@@tiorast650 tbh i only use kaboomstick tommyboom and sometime c edt first pistol Anyways thx you to waste your time with me XD

[@astronomica4968]

at this point, the FREE HRG GUNS are actually more interesting and cooler than the dlc guns, except maybe the minigun and the new raygun

[@drivanradosivic1357]

the minigun might need some tweaking to be better.

[@tbanrs]

The minigun is just a reskin of the Stoner LMG but even worse, since besides the long reload time you need a couple of seconds to get the thing spinning and start shooting with a lot of recoil and not a proper sight on it, i was so dissapointed when i was hoping that gun could actually make commando efficient against the big threats but not even close

[@TomyFoxy2014]

You should try the new weekly, it was very fun at least for me. And yep, HRG Crossboom is pretty sick even with Demo.

[@edwinkanehl9428]

Question is this update coming to console at some point or no.

[@PathfinderBoi]

Well yeah, probably this week.

[@lunaticleone8534]

how do you have this a month early ?

[@slothprizon66]

yeah when your shooting them in the head they do shrink and die a bit faster

[@mushishi3994]

How do i access this content in Epic Games?

[@flashn00b]

HRG Crossboom is definitely underwhelming on Demolitionist considering his repertoire of alternatives, though I feel like this weapon performs better in the hands of a Surivalist. Especially with the buffs that coincided with the weapon's release, I think a decent loadout to consider would be Flashbang/HM101/Crossboom/Blast Brawlers. I'd probably say that if you don't wanna buy the Piranha Pistol DLC, playing Survivalist is going to be the free alternative.

[@PathfinderBoi]

Lets be honest all of these 4 weapons are underwhelming, crossboom I had the most fun with. At least from first impressions.

[@FG-ww8rc]

As a seal squeal user I'm super excited for the crossboom

[@jjaybuill3685]

Maybe we gonna get some engineer class in kf3. You know drones, turrets...

[@BiggestBlunder]

I feel like we really should have stopped adding weapons a while ago, and we could have gotten to a state where we could tweak weapons around. While still having those unique weapons actually being unique instead of getting a bunch of similar looking weapons

[@entertainmentfan1463]

Honestly the sentinel looks cool, and anyone disappointed it can't kill all your enemies for you is clearly a idiot. As the sentinel, Tommy Boom and shrink ray are all clearly meant to be secondary weapons and not primary weapons. Sentinel drone is clearly meant as a support gun you put in front of you to slow down and distract waves as you finish off weakened zeds. Tommy Boom is clearly meant as a high magazine weapon for low tier zeds so you don't spend all your time reloading and so you don't have to waste RPG and grenade rounds on weak zeds the Tommy Boom can kill in 1 hit. Especially if you're surround from all directions. Shrink Ray looks to be another weaken enemies then finish them off with a better gun or your team mates finish them off.

[@superkuigi64]

They should’ve made it when the zeds is tiny you can kick them

[@edwardtrooper7027]

how I see it. the shrink ray more like crushes them. which the pop makes sense.

[@Sincity-sn8dj]

This is the best free game to play next to defiance hope killing floor stick around for awhile now that it’s gone

[@lopog3865]

Had a team melting the zombies I shrank like nothing it was perfect

[@TheRelaxingGhost]

[@BONER_BEATER.980]

Papa Puthfunder, do you know when the next double xp will be?Wanted to start grinding again but want double xp

[@astronomica4968]

i think the commandos drone should upgrade more than just damage given you dont treat it like all the other guns. upgrading should increase its ammo and determine if it aims for weak spots, like a fleshpounds head/core and edars cores. and also the legs on rioters, because the biggest problem with it is wasting its own ammo shooting armor or parts that have major damage reduction like the scrakes chainsaw. it also should use an entire spare drone if you were to place another one accidentaly or not knowing its limits.

[@WENDIGO_FROM_THE_VOID]

I think their should make 2 hrg 1 free dlc and 1 pay dlc but 20$ but it will worth 20$

[@STWproductionz]

[@legendarysupersaiyanlegend7828]

I want KF3 not new content in a game all the servers are empty, if KF3 is in the works and this is to tie us over thats fine, but if they are making this content without making KF3 in the meantime than that is dumb on tripwires behalf, this game has all empty lobbies on consoles nowb
