Seasonal Slaughter


Killing Floor 2 features a variety of seasonal events that transform the Zeds into festive variants (e.g., Gingerbread Men, Clowns, or Cyber-Infected). While these events usually happen automatically on specific dates, you can force any theme to be active at any time through the server’s startup parameters.

1. Event Codes

To force a specific theme, you must utilize the ?Event= flag in your Startup Arguments:
  • 0: None (Standard Zeds)
  • 1: Summer Sideshow (Clowns/Circus)
  • 2: Halloween Horrors
  • 3: Christmas Crackshot (Winter/Sledges)

2. Implementation

  1. Access your FREAKHOSTING dashboard and navigate to the Startup tab.
  2. Locate the Additional Arguments or Event field.
  3. Apply the code (e.g., ?Event=1 for Summer).
  4. Restart the server.

Automatic Rotation

If you leave the event code at 0 (or empty), the server will automatically sync with Tripwire’s backend. This means your server will display Christmas Zeds in December and Halloween Zeds in October without any manual intervention.
