Outbreak Character Pack

Nightfall Character Pack

Home of Mr. Foster, the gas-masked day trader who later got steampunk, neon and married versions. The other three are a mutated Horzine security officer, a bomb-disposal corporal and a raver in a skeleton costume.

A punk singer, an escaped convict, a paratrooper and a night-shift paramedic.

"London's Finest" Character Pack

Steampunk Character Pack

Four new Victorian-styled characters. They are named after perks, but any character can play any perk.

Steampunk Character Pack 2

Steampunk DJ Scully lobby portrait Steampunk Demolition lobby portrait Steampunk Support Specialist lobby portrait Steampunk Commando lobby portrait

A steampunk DJ Scully plus three new steampunk characters. Steampunk Mr. Foster and Steampunk Mrs. Foster are not in either pack: they are free achievement unlocks (see the Unlockable Characters Guide).

Urban Nightmare Character Pack

Dave The Butcher Roberts lobby portrait Dr. Jeffrey Tamm lobby portrait Samuel Avalon lobby portrait Shadow Ferret lobby portrait

A gangland enforcer, the Horzine roboticist who built D.A.R., a death-loving fireman and a self-made ninja from Brixton.

Harold Lott Character Pack

A lottery-millionaire parody of the 1980s boom years who leaves a trail of dosh as he runs.

Ash Harding Character Pack

Captain Ash Harding, a British Army officer and the daughter of an East End crime boss.

According to the killingfloor.ru forum ("Ash Harding Character Pack" thread), the skin fulfilled a promise Tripwire Interactive made on 19 April 2012; Tripwire said 20% of the revenue from each copy sold would go to charity. The price was 90 roubles in Russia and $5 elsewhere.

The Chickenator Pack

The resurrected cyborg version of Commando Chicken, with a glowing robot eye and a trail of feathers.

Robot Special Character Pack

D.A.R. lobby portrait

D.A.R., Horzine's Domestic Assistant Robot, damaged and squeaky, leaving a trail of sparks. It is only available through this pack.

Mrs Foster Pack

Mrs. Foster, a commodities trader and Mr. Foster's partner, with a gas mask of her own.

Reggie the Rocker Character Pack
