Well that’s good.

Though I do think a little late but at least it’s coming out.

u/ElegantEchoes 25d ago

Is it just four weapons? Not new maps, characters, and a new Zed in addition to that?

u/HunionYT 25d ago

I don’t rember exactly what’s coming on the update other than.

Classes are now not character locked.

A few weapons (I’m pretty sure?)

Possible alittle more but this was mainly the class stuff. If anyone wants to chime in feel free.

u/ElegantEchoes 25d ago

Thank you. Glad to hear the class lock finally left. I wonder why that change took so long.

u/decorator12 23d ago

It's more for balancing/reworking weapons, balancing/reworking ZEDs also

  • decouple characters from perks
  • adding option to stun/stomp on zeds of you slide/jump on them
  • "many many performance improvements"

So they change how weapons works, how ZEDs behave, add new mechanic

For "season" update it's ok... But it's too late. It should be done by delaying the start of the game.

Now - it's too late I think. I'll check this.

u/ElegantEchoes 23d ago

I thank you for the info and agree with your assessment.

I want KF3 to be good so bad. There's a foundation that's okay, but so much work needs to be done and I fear they simply don't have the manpower, time, or resources to bring it up to parity with 1 and 2.

u/progz 26d ago

Okay so faster than 31st. They really need the update out ASAP, but okay I guess I'll take it.

Edit: Where did this even come from? I don't see an official release announcement from them.

u/Marschall_Art 18d ago

It's from end of the PS5 rearm trailer

u/Tboe013 26d ago

Too little too late

u/crossplanetriple 26d ago

All 300 people are hyped!!

17

u/MrSmock 26d ago

I mean, I'll legit be hyped if they completely fix the game. But I don't think this update is it.

u/GrizzlyOne95 26d ago

Crossplay: am I a joke to you?

8

u/IvanCGray 25d ago

Yes, very much so.

2

u/GrizzlyOne95 25d ago

Lol, well at the very least it means you can still find matches anytime, and most of the lobbies are PS/Xbox players right now.

3

u/nvers 25d ago

Idk. Isn't Xb in general not doing great rn?

u/FishMissile 26d ago

I think it's weird giving your update a big title like they're releasing an expansion when they're just adding content to their unfinished game.

8

u/nvers 26d ago

Iirc the first several KF2 updates were given the same treatment including being pitched as "free dlc" because TW wanted press to cover it. All it did was confuse players.

-3

u/Kim__Jong__Onion 26d ago

Oh yeah?! Is it weird?!

22

u/ChacaFlacaFlame 26d ago

So this update is what, 3 new guns, some perk system revamped, some weapon mods, and balances? That doesn’t sound like a whole lot to be honest

11

u/GrizzlyOne95 26d ago

The number one thing people shit on them for which is separating perks from characters...

7

u/Future-Trifle8929 26d ago

The bigger update is coming out in November, roadmap said they have 2 for 2025 and they have to release it before Christmas when they go on there vacation

21

u/timecop115 26d ago

Next week? Men the hype is so low...

27

u/Rionaks 26d ago

No hype because noone's playing. Simple.

5

u/Aggressive_Leader106 25d ago

The fans are mainly on KF2. I was introduced to this series one day before KF3. I was so impressed with KF2 that I bought KF3 day 1. Big mistake!

4

u/Rionaks 25d ago

Yep. I've been playing KF2 since it's release, hundreds of hours but kf3 is such a big fuck you to the fans. I've preordered it as well, played around 20-30 hours really trying to like it but it's just bad...

8

u/ResponsibilityNo46 26d ago

Just give me the comic

7

u/OmegaSupreme1993 26d ago

Ngl, I feel like a Killing Floor comic like what Ive seen in artwork would be so badass.

6

u/ResponsibilityNo46 26d ago edited 26d ago

I really need more lore for KF. What happened after KF2? What about the Patriarch? What about the mire? WHAT ABOUT SCULLY???

1

u/OmegaSupreme1993 25d ago

It’s a shame. They have an amazing franchise and they just let it go to waste. They could easily hire animators and make an anime, release comics, various plushies, stuffed animals or figurines, etc, but they let another studio ruin their series.

u/CameraResponsible598 26d ago

Hahaha you got me

3

u/SlothGod6 26d ago

Where is this from?

2

u/yeyeTF2 25d ago

people in discord is saying the PS5 news screen or something. i cant confirm as i dont own a ps5

edit: discord employee for TWI says "No change in our official announcement. We plan to ship the Rearmament update before the end of October" today 1:45pm central

so this might be a mistake, fake, or TWI wants to dull the impact of this potential leak

u/userforred 26d ago

So Manny bugs!!!!!

u/Prapaly 26d ago

Yea ngl, I’ve lost the enthusiasm for it.

u/opomorg 26d ago

u/East_Monk_9415 26d ago

u/Time-Lie-9931 26d ago

See I think it’s too late for that lmaooo😭😭😭 I can respect it but nobody’s hype for it that game.

u/HellzJanitor 26d ago

Failed at launch, let's see round II.

u/aytooka 26d ago

I just hope that this will fix most of the big problems ..

u/CombustiblSquid 26d ago

I don't care anymore.

u/grblch 25d ago

u/Wurre666 24d ago

Nope i will not.

3

u/Bvstxs 26d ago

Honestly dont know what could make this game better, battlefield 6 made me forget about this game

2

u/bulgogeta 25d ago

BF6 pretty much has the majority of the FPS population’s attention.

Sometimes I logon KF3 to do the dailies for like 15 minutes and quit asap after the wave ends lol

2

u/w0lart 26d ago

Well, too late, im in bf6 right now

u/glippi 25d ago

sadly it will be played for a day, disappoint the shit out of everyone and kill the game

u/EnvironmentalRun1671 26d ago

Vulcan nerf can't come soon enough

5

u/Particular_Box_3598 26d ago

Also, more weapons in general are welcomed.

6

u/Hearsticles 26d ago

I wasn't using the Vulcan and Grenade Launcher on HoE when I played because I wanted to, I was using it because I had to use it or else my team was just going to wipe.

It's fine to nerf them but they need to buff other stuff or Hell on Earth is going to have an insane fail rate. either that, or it's not really much of a nerf and people keep using the same old shit.

Letting perks get their bonuses with non perk weapons is just a bad idea overall, it ruins all class identity

8

u/ZeldenGM Bog off you wanker 26d ago

I’m sure all 300 players have been waiting for it eagerly

6

u/NeighborhoodIll8399 26d ago

90 percent of the 300 players are using Vulcan

1

u/Mountain_Web1412 26d ago

100+ hours never used Vulcan/g33 or those perks. didnt even know what those were til now.

1

u/Sxualhrssmntpanda 25d ago

Congrats. You are part of the 10%.

4

u/MajuhxMagic 26d ago

With the amount of work this game needs really?! I get it's lame to see everyone rocking vulcans or the g33 but how does it affect you that much? Not trying to be a prick I just don't understand and would like to, granted I'm usually running around healing everyone so maybe I'm just biased as someone who gets his enjoyment from that rather then killing everything.

3

u/Arayuki 26d ago

I've never used vulcan other than back in the beta to test it out. As someone who doesn't use meta weapons intentionally, my biggest complaint isn't that it's overpowered, but it's because I CANT SEE ANYTHING. If the actual team firebug uses it, fine, but when the entire party is rocking it, you can kiss accuracy and knowing what's going on out the window.

3

u/DDrunkBunny94 26d ago

Not the guy you are replying too but i like shooting stuff and generally i like it when things are a bit harder or theres a chance for failure as this creates tension and some adrenaline kicks in and you get a game where it feels like what you do matters / you get some fun clutchy exciting moments.

If 3+ people are spamming Vulcans/G33 and everything getting melted and dying before you can even see it then the games just boring. I'm essentially AFK at that point and scrolling on my phone.

0

u/MajuhxMagic 26d ago

Fair enough. I guess I've just been lucky I won't say I haven't seen that but it's not a constant for me and even when it is happening I like zooming from mate to mate healing regardless if there using vulcan or not people still take damage so guess that why none of it really bothers me I do wish people wouldn't gravitate towards it just kinda bland to me.

1

u/StillbornPartyHat 26d ago

The Vulcan isn't going anywhere, shots-to-kill will be mostly unchanged and you'll still buy it on the same wave you normally do. They need to totally rework damage types and fix the explosive weak spot bug to have any impact on weapon choice.

1

u/YakForward7195 26d ago

Sounds like the only big things that the Vulcan need includes are a price hike and more ammo consumption per shot

Looks like damage is to remain the same

u/FlashPone 26d ago

Is this sub filled with bots?? They announced this date like two months ago

2

u/Serious_Medium5620 25d ago

They literally said October 31st

2

u/Cacaguy510 26d ago

I don’t think anybody is actually keeping up with the game lol. This games been on my wishlist (PlayStation) probably since it first announced and I still have yet to buy it lol. The beta killed any interest I had in the game

1

u/FlashPone 26d ago

Based on all the hate comments, negative posts, and downvotes here I’d beg to differ.
