Killing Floor 3 changes
Version: 1.0.0.16
Release Date: June 16th, 2026
New Additions & Highlights
Welcome to the Onslaught... Update, a smaller mid-season update that adds the new level, Onslaught, and features a few Quality of Life improvements.
New Map: Onslaught
Horzine leveraged the sewer outbreak in Umezu to train personnel. Needless to say, it didn't go well. Littered with traps, this location becomes all the more dangerous as time goes on. Use as they did, to polish your skills. Space is a luxury here, and retreat is not an option. Steam post image
Bug Fixes, Polish & System Improvements
Stability & Performance
Fixed a crash that could happen while inspecting your character
Reduced ticking dependencies for skeletal mesh components.
Updated default configs to better understand the users system memory
Updated Precompiled Shader Caching methodology to reduce in-game hitches on certain events
Quality Of Life Improvements

Bugs
