Event Content

This is a sub-page of Killing Floor.

To do: Acquired more old versions of KF: Add actual better screenshots for Abusement Park. Editor pictures and ripped graphics for potato fools day. Add the ripped menu graphics for Halloween 2011. Add more found cut lines from Christmas zeds.

Killing Floor had a lot of events during its life cycle. While the main ones can be re-activated with .ini file tweaks, there are some that had been completely removed from the game with no official way to access them.

Potato Fools Day#

Potato Fools Day was an event tied to Valve's upcoming release of Portal 2. Several games participated in a grand ARG that crossed over that lead to hints at finding other clues. 2011 is the true ARG event while its 2012 rerun was more simple and only provided smaller changes like the return of the GLaDOS core trader and potato money.

Character Changes#

DJ Scully Glyphs#

DJ Scully had a glyph and letter on his backpack that were clues in the ARG.

Character Descriptions#

Every character in the game at the time had random quotes and ciphers as their descriptions.

Potato#

The dosh model was replaced with a potato. The potato model itself is still used for the golden potato secret, the normal potato texture now goes unused.

Portal Trader#

The trader had a special Portal-themed model, portrait and dialogue. The model itself resembles one of GLaDOS's personality core from the first game, specifically the Anger Core but it actually speaks in a somewhat bored and sarcastic manner.

Teleport Hatches#

During the event, the map KF-Aperture had 3 hatches you could find that were welded. When you opened these hatches you would fall in and teleport to an observation room with writings about secrets. One of these rooms had writings saying to "Use me!" above a computer. If the player pressed their interact key, it would open the Steam browser to a page for the Potato Sack ARG. These rooms are still in the map, just lacking the hatches to teleport you into them, and the code to open the steam browser. This renders the rooms inaccessible without cheats. The rooms just act as areas for zeds to spawn now.

All of the teleports were behind doors where a player needs to stand on portal buttons to let other players in. You can see the main room with the secret in this video. Watch on YouTube

Misc additions#

Icy_Murderous_I#

During Potato Fools 2011, an mp3 file was added to the music folder called Icy_Murderous_I.mp3. The song itself played Dirge's Disunion. The point of this file was to be used in Audiosurf.

stupidscience.guy#

This is a archive file also tied to the 2011 ARG. A player would get this from doing the Uber Tuber achievement (the teleport hatches). When a player walks to a computer, the steam ui would open up where a player needs to enter the password failed experiments. Steam will then download a new dlc for Killing Floor called "Killing Floor Accessed Content" which only give the .guy file. Once the package was opened, you are given several .tga image files. The player needs to check the image's transparency layers, revealing pieces of a map for Seattle. These would need to be combined with other images received from other games. Players were still able to receive this file after the ARG because TWI simply never unchecked it for distribution. The name "stupid science guy" is a reference to Security Officer Thorne's bio description.

2010 Christmas Zeds#

While Christmas event zeds are still in the game and can be enabled with ini tweaking, cheats and mutators. The 2010 event had some differences in the zeds including some differences on textures and dialogue that got removed from their sound groups for whatever reason.

Santa Bloat#

The 2010 Christmas Bloat skin had much paler colors, and had much dirtier clothes overall.

The XMAS Bloat also had dialogue that was either removed in later XMAS events, or never used at all.

Robo Santa#

His texture was made less bloody and got halved in resolution after 2010.

Jack Frost#

His texture simply lacked a lot of definition in older versions, making it look less detailed.

Caroler#

The caroler looked about the same just had a much shinier look in the 2010 version.

2011 Halloween Sideshow#

In 2011 there was the first and only Halloween Sideshow event. This was made solely because players wanted another chance at getting Steampunk Mr. Foster. Unaware at the time that the Summer Sideshow would return, Tripwire Interactive decide to make a "new" event. Since the point was to have the summer character unlockable again, the Summer Sideshow zeds were brought back, but given a new Halloween costume theme. As for the reason why the event never returned, its due to the Halloween Sideshow not feeling polished as it was a makeshift event. One of the developers (possibly BroodOverMind) simply said that the Halloween Zeds were ugly.

Please note not all Halloween Zeds received a name

The Strange Little Goblin#

The Strange Little Clot painted green and metal supports replaced with boney versions. Also given a bone necklace and hair.

Angel & Devil#

The Girl with Two Heads had their bodies colored and given horn and wing prosthetics.

Pukey the Clown was recolored to a black and orange color scheme.

Halloween Gorefast#

Husk-o'-Lantern#

The Amazing Mechanical Man was painted a brighter orange with a Jack-o'-Lantern painted on.

Lady Black Beard#

The Bearded Beauty was given hook hands, an eyepatch and a pirate hat.

Were-bunny#

The Incredible Man Monkey had his fur painted white and given rabbit ears.

FrankenPound#

The Fleshclown was painted green and his sack mask was redesigned to look like Frankenstein's monster.

Vampriarch#

The Ringleader removed his hat. His whole head is actually a new model.

2012 Twisted Christmas#

In the 2012 Twisted Christmas update, the map MoonBase was added, while the map is still in the game, it originally had some slight Christmas decoration that was removed after the event.

Previous seasonal title#

Some of the seasonal updates included a unique title change. Twisted Christmas only had the one graphic and reused it every year. The current Halloween title kept the graphic from the last Halloween update (2014s' Double Feature) and the current Summer Sideshow's version reuses the Hellride graphic.
