Killing Floor 3 gets weapon customization, revamped Zeds and an exit window

Fans have been waiting a long time for more details on Kill floor 3 and those prayers have now been answered, including the announcement of a release window.

A sequel to the second installment of the series from eight years ago, Kill Floor 3 flipped the script by turning the Zed into much more formidable foes, although the balance was balanced by the introduction of weapon customization.

Kill floor 3Zed's upgrades include Crawlers with the ability to climb walls and the chainsaw-wielding Scrake, now equipped with a grappling hook, with the changes aimed at increasing danger levels.

Speaking to PC Gamer, game director Bryan Wynia explained that Zeds now “feel more like unique challenges” and that while there are now fewer Zeds to fight and a slower pace of combat, you've got to deal with issues like the fact that the Husks can fly now. .”

Big changes have been made to Specialists, replacing the class system in previous entries in the series, having a specific set of guns they can purchase rather than giving you unlimited potential in your arsenal , but you also get what Wynia calls “the oh shit button”, essentially an ultimate ability to level the playing field.

One big addition is the introduction of weapon customization, something Wynia says “the community has wanted for a long time” and which “allows you to pick up a weapon and play with it however you want.”

While this is more than enough to whet your appetite, the good news is that you won't have to wait too long because Kill floor 3 was given an early 2025 release window.
