Killing Floor 2 Takes A Tropical Vacation In Latest Update

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

Killing Floor 2 gets a huge content infusion with the release of the Tropical Bash Content Pack on Windows PC and PlayStation 4 today. Bringing a brand new map set on a tropical island, a new mace & shield for the Berserker class, a new type of energy and the ability to cross-class certain weapon types – this update looks to kick off 2017 with a bang.

New Map

Set on the tropical island of Zed Landing (isn’t that name appropriate for an area infested with the undead), this brand new maps sees players explore a downed helicopter while an imposing volcano bellows smoke off in the distance. Alongside this brand new map is a whole set of new achievements for Zed slayers to collect.

New Enemy

A brand new horrifying monstrosity is awaiting to be unleashed on Zed Landing, the Gore Fiend. Featuring a grotesque long tongue and two rusty blades for hands this new undead nightmare is nothing to laugh at, perhaps it is really a cut above the rest of the Zeds?

New Weapons For Berserker

Berserkers get a brand new tier 4 weapon with the addition of the Bone Crusher. Comprised of a spiked circular shield and a make-shift mace made out of a baseball bat and some long nails this new kit should enable the Berserker to crush in the skulls of the hordes of Zed. The hubcap shield can also be used to parry enemies causing them to stagger backwards.

Cross-Classing Weapons

Do you find yourself picking a class like Command only to find yourself adopting a single weapon from another class because it suits your playstyle more? With the new cross-class system many different weapons can be combined during play which should open up new options for those who like to stick to a single class. While Tripwire didn’t publish a complete list of cross-class weapon combinations they did provide a few examples:

Use the HMTech Medical Assault Rifle, the Incendary Trench Gun or M16 M293 as the Commando.
Use the VLAD-1000 Nail Gun as Support.
Use the HMTech-201 Sub Machinegun as SWAT.

Killing Floor 2 is currently also on sale on Steam for $19.99 USD. Check out Tripwire’s official blog post for more information on the latest update.

First 11 – Check Out Our Torn Tales Gameplay Footage

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Les Major

Today, I’m starting a new YouTube series to show off some of the PC titles we tackle. Each video will focus on the first eleven minutes of gameplay. Odds are though if I don’t keep track of time again, there will be tons of additional content as well. This first episode takes a look at Torn Tales, a sort of diablo-esque title that tasks gamers to play as Snow White, Robin Hood, and Dr. Jekyll in a party together.

Yes, I know the music audio and my dialogue are unfortunately at the same level. I’ll have to be sure to correct that in future videos. Or even record a separate dialogue track. Either way, things will improve for future content and I’ll get them as fun and clear as our Twitch streams many of you have been enjoying already.

Our trek with Torn Tales took these three fabled fighters through a forest in this intro area. It sounds like you possibly can find treasure chests along the way, but the only ones I nabbed came from a boss and a group of enemies. There are branching paths though and boy do you need to explore them! I recorded much more than the first eleven minutes, which I’ll be sharing as well, so you’ll get to see me progress along, give up on exploration (and extra XP) only to be in a really tough battle against the second boss of the game which I needed just a touch more power to get through.

That may sound rough, but the developer is listening on the Steam discussion board it seems and updates have been forthcoming. If nothing else, I’d look at Torn Tales as a game you can play all the way through, but it’s sort of like an early access game since changes are on the way. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a good title here I found, and if I could have just DPS’d the Big Bad Wolf a bit more, I’d have beat him on a couple occasions.

Anyway, give it a look at take a gander at the first eleven minutes, of Torn Tales.
