Killing Floor 2 1.66 Patch notes – October 13, 2022

Event
Blood & Bonfires

A mysterious place has been settled by Zeds, Barmwich Town. It was built centuries ago, and it’s full of old buildings and bonfires. This medieval town is now the next battlefield for our mercs to fight in the moonlight. Speaking of Zeds, it seems that lately, they are coordinating to attack specific targets, the ones we call VIPs. You can check it out in our new weekly mode: Primary Target. Of course, try to defend the VIP, we don’t want the Zeds to fulfill their objective. And finally, we bring you the Horzine Research Group’s two latest creations: the HRG Locust for the Survivalist and the HRG Dragonsblaze for the Firebug. They will be a good addition to your arsenal, so check them out!
