Versus Mode
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.

- 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.
