Weekly Outbreaks in Killing Floor 2 are the special variations of normal survival mode with the specific mutator-a-like twists that modify certain gameplay elements making the game more challenging or forcing players to pickup specific strategies and loadouts in order to survive. There are currently 8 possible Outbreaks, with one available each week. It changes over on tuesday evenings (US time). Completing a Weekly Outbreak will earn players cosmetic rewards and 500,000 Vosh (cosmetic in-game currency) which is enough to acquire one Vault Crate that contains player accessories and weapon skins to customize your character.

Weekly Outbreaks were added in the game on June 13, 2017, as a part of the Summer Sideshow update.

Gameplay specifics

  • Boss replacement: Fight against King Fleshpound. King Fleshpound is capable of performing special "Whirlwind", "Ground Pound Explosion" and "Chest Beam" attacks. When King Fleshpound changes its battle phase it spawns a set of mini Fleshpounds (Quarter Pounds). Quarter Pounds also have a chance to replace common ZEDs.
  • Difficulty - Suicidal, Waves - 7.
  • Each time King Fleshpound changes its battle phase (including phase 0, when it appears on the map) it spawns a set of Quarter Pounds, which are the smaller versions of the normal Fleshpound. Quarter Pounds have less health and are slightly more vulnerable against various damage types than normal Fleshpounds. The amount Quarter Pounds spawned depends on the number of players on the server (1-6).
  • ZED to be replaced by Quarter Pound - Odds: AlphaClot - 5%, Slasher - 10%, GoreFast - 10%, Crawler - 5%, Stalker - 5%, Bloat - 65%.
  • Scrake has 90% chance to be replaced by Fleshpound (normal variant).
  • Each wave contains only 55% of the base wave AI amount.
  • King Fleshpound always spawns enraged.
