Tripwire Interactive are kicking off the first seasonal event for Killing Floor 3, announcing the Halloween Horrors: Ghastly Getaway in-game event. Running through November 5, the event brings the Halloween season to 2091, starting with a completely redecorated player Stronghold to set the spooky tone. The visual treats continue with new models for all base Zeds and the recently added Moorcroft boss, inspired by classic horror movies.
The update also adds new permanent content including the Haunted Hotel map, filled with deadly tricks and permanently home to Halloween-themed Zeds, new single-weapon Gunslinger primary weapons, new Supply Pass and store cosmetics and much more.
Here’s the rundown for the event:
- Survival Map – Haunted Hotel: Rumors of hauntings in the Hotel Iorga in Vladislav, Romania, line up with anomalies Nightfall has tracked in the location. Specialists will investigate the multi-story hotel ripped apart by a ritual that’s gone catastrophically wrong and unleashed untold horrors. Be careful fighting on higher floors, it’s a long way down.
- Future Zeds Meet Classic Horror: The Halloween spirit has even compelled the Zeds to join in on the fun! All base Zed models and Dr. Moorcroft have been replaced during the event and Specialists will now find themselves fighting against enemies inspired by classic horror movie monsters. Halloween Zeds are available on all maps through Nov. 5, and are a permanent addition to the Haunted Hotel map.
- Stronghold Seasonal Update: The Stronghold gets a macabre new makeover as Nightfall welcomes the spookiest season in style. Enjoy the festive home base through Nov. 5.
- Gunslinger Single-weapon Variants: Following the introduction of the Gunslinger class and their unique dual-wield pistol primary weapons, a cheaper single-weapon variant of all those weapons has been added. Players now have greater granular control over how they upgrade their primary pistols.
- Halloween Supply Pass: Play and earn 208 new rewards with the latest Supply Pass via both free and paid tracks, with cosmetics including the Commando Chicken, Chickenator, Weapons Skins, Trinkets, Player Cards and stickers. The store has also been updated to include cosmetics including the Skeleton Jumpsuit, Pumpkin Mask and Monster Mask.
- Much More: New Main Menu Music, Daily Challenges, Wave and Weekly Mutators, Milestone Challenges, Quality of Life improvements, bug and crash fixes and ongoing balance and optimization work continues. A new system for veteran players with excess Supply Pass Points has been introduced, allowing players to spend them on Double XP boosters for Perks once per day.
