Versus Mode

Revenge Of The ZEDs

Versus Mode is the Killing Floor 2's player-versus-player mode. It was added in the game on April 7, 2016, during its Early Access stage as a part of Revenge Of The ZEDs update. In this mode two teams, Survivors and ZEDs, face off against each other with their respective goals to achieve - human team must survive to the end of the game while ZED team attempts to eliminate them.

The game is played in a 2 rounds format - each rounds ends with either all human players being killed or after defeating player-controlled boss, after that teams are being swapped. As a winning criteria there is a score system that human survivors gain and lose in a process. The further in game human team makes it and fewer casualties it takes - the higher score it is being awarded with, however the most significant factor there is a victory itself as defeating boss grants highest amount of score points.

After 2 rounds passed team with the highest score wins.

ZED Spawning

ZEDs spawn in squads. Human players and AIs have separate squads to posses. Normally Human players are fitted into Squad #1, at rare occasion - at Squad #2. Initially there is 10% chance for spawning a Special Squad, with each next non-special squad deployment, the chance to spawn a Special Squad is being increased by another 10%. At some point during the wave Special Squad will be forced to deploy.

At "early" waves (wave 1 and wave 2) AI spawn intensity will be slowed down regardless from amount of the human players. Spawn Time modifier - x2.1. At the "late" waves (wave 3 and wave 4) AI spawn intensity will be increased / decreased depending on amount of the players: 1p - x1.8, 2p - x1.7, 3p - x1.6, 4p - x1.5, 5p - x1.17, 6p - x1.

• Maximum amount of the human Special Squads that can be deployed (wave 3 / wave 4) is 1 / 2.
• Time between spawning human squads: wave 1 - 20s, wave 2 - 27s, wave 3 - 30s, wave 4 - 35s.
• Time between spawning human squads (boss wave) - 40 seconds.
• Time before spawning human squads after wave starts: wave 1 - 15 seconds, wave 2-4 - 10 seconds.
• Maximum human-controlled Scrakes allowed, per cycle AND / OR active at once - 2.
• Maximum human-controlled Fleshpounds allowed, per cycle AND / OR active at once - 2.

Team Scoring

Each Team gains score in Versus game. Highest score grants the victory.

For every human player death Team loses 100 points.

For boss kill team gains up to 10000 points. This score being decreased by amount of the damage taken by survivors (dealt by boss).
