Versus Mode

Revenge Of The ZEDs

Versus Mode is a 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 getting and losing in a process. The further in game human team makes it and fewer casualties it takes - the higher score it being awarded, 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.
