Who it Caters to
What to Expect
Gameplay
The new map—Spillway—might not look that diverse from yet another factory-like complex, but once you drop in…you’ll realize this map is amazing. Spillway is easily the strongest new piece of content from Killing Floor 2: Cyber Revolt as the map plays towards two strengths. For players that like tight corridors to create bottlenecks and choke points, Spillway has several within the interior of the complex. Those who enjoy open areas with room to run and move around though will find Spillway’s outdoor zones perfect leaving wide open platforms and various places to escape the Zeds when the heat is up. Tripwire Interactive made sure to also punish players who prefer one style over the other as each area can be easily overrun by Zeds if the player gets too cocky. The open areas mean you’ll have Zeds rushing from indoors and even jumping off platforms above to punish those who hide. Within the buildings, there are numerous doors and tunnels that, while you can’t enter, the Zeds can enter and they will love to hit you in droves. Spillway is very balanced and a ton of fun allowing for multiple playthroughs without any feeling of repetitiveness.
Weapon wise, Killing Floor 2: Cyber Revolt has quite a few new weapons that cater—as usual—to specific perks. Firebug and Survivalist each get a new gun in the form of the Helios Rifle and Killerwatt respectively. The Helios rifle is a beat of a plasma rifle that shouts burst shots and/or automatic. The shots can also go from one Zed right into another making it a nice chain weapon for multiple takedowns! The Killerwatt though steals the show as it is a behemoth of a rifle. Infused with electric shots, the Killerwatt can fire automatically or be charged for damaging effects! The guns both are pretty expensive but are worth it in the later rounds when enemies become tough or when a boss approaches. On an added note, the Battle Axe is also unlockable for all classes and that means you’ll be swinging your giant weapon around slicing Zed in half.
Lastly, Killing Floor 2: Cyber Revolt has a few cosmetic items that we really wanted to discuss! The Cyberpunk outfit is truly amazing with its glowing light design and hero-like appearance. Players can also unlock neon colors and a few other variant skins for weapons which will make them look super goofy but also give players their own style! There are also some headshot explosive effects and they can be added to just make the overall game feel more like an arcade experience. Prepare to save up some tokens, folks; you’ll need them to unlock all these goodies!
