What to Expect in Killing Floor 3
Killing Floor 3 is introducing several upgrades over its predecessor, including a revamped gore system known as the MEAT System. This system promises more bloody and brutal gameplay with enemies designed to have more dismemberment points and persistent blood, resulting in increasingly gruesome maps after each wave. Players can also explore new environments featuring interactive elements like turrets and fans to set up deadly traps for the Zeds.
The game is designed for up to six players, offering a variety of weapons such as flamethrowers, shotguns, katanas, and numerous customization options with mods and gadgets. AI opponents have been enhanced to provide a more challenging experience, so be prepared to fight for survival when the game launches on March 25.
