As promised, along with a number of tweaks, Tripwire has released the free "Level Up" DLC (detailed below) and a free weekend is underway at Steam. In addition the "Nightfall" DLC Character Pack is now available for $1.99.



  • KF-Wyre: a map set in the dark forests in southern England, with a hidden Horzine facility buried underground.
  • KF-Bedlam: this map is set in the aftermath of a Halloween rave at a crumbling and abandoned lunatic asylum, forcing your squad to fight through claustrophobic corridors and haunted hallways, all to the left-over rave tunes and lighting.
  • KF-Waterworks: the winning map from Wave 1 of the Grindhouse mapping contest, Waterworks' stunning visuals and gameplay blew the judges away. Now you have to blow away all the specimens from the ruins of the pumping station.
  • New Demolitions Perk: this one is for all those who like to blow stuff up. This is the guy who knows his explosives. Proximity-fuzed pipe-bombs and grenade launchers - you get the idea!
  • All Perks now have a Level 6 to achieve - with even more goodies for getting there.
  • Introducing our new Specimen - the Husk: this was Horzine's first serious attempt at a clone with a ranged attack. Grafting a fireball-launcher to his arm gave him a vicious long-range attack and gives the gameplay a whole new dynamic. Just don't stand still when he arrives - and have a Sharpshooter handy to keep him at bay.
  • MP7M Medic Gun: Horzine took a submachine gun and added their prototype healing-dart gun to it. Now the Medic has the perfect combo of fire-power combined with the ability to heal team-mates from a distance.
  • The M79 Grenade Launcher has been tucked away in Army arsenals for decades. It may be old, but it is ever-reliable and still packs quite a punch.
  • The M32 Multiple Grenade Launcher takes the basic grenade launcher and allows you to fire multiple rounds in quick succession, for even more "boom".
  • AA-12 Auto Shotgun: a prototype every Support Specialist wants to get his hands on. Devastating firepower, but just eats ammo!
  • M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle: the EBR is a Special Forces version of an old favorite, just right for all the Sharpshooters amongst us.
  • SCAR Mk17: another Special Forces weapon, featuring a good rate of fire, good accuracy and a good heavy round. Just what every serious Commando wants!
  • Proximity-fused Pipe-bomb: an all-time favorite of Demolitions guys the world over. Arm it, drop it and wait for a horde of bad guys to run over it. Just don't be there when they do!
  • Game Lobby Movie Trailers - short movie trailers will now play during the game lobby before a match. These ads will help keep the free content packs rolling!

Unfortunately, the newest patch has introduced what seems to be a memory leak causing the game to sometimes freeze between maps. I'm certain it'll be fixed in short order, but it's bad timing for those that haven't played it before.

Keep in mind this is the 8th (I think since this is labeled as 1008) patch since the release in May. Two of those were content additions and the others have dealt with map exploits, bug fixes, performance tweaks, and misc new features. The point of all this is just to illustrate the support history for new players unsure of the response time to any widespread technical/performance issues that may occur with the game.
