KF2 Krampus Christmas 2017 - All Event Objectives Explained

Krampus Christmas was Killing Floor 2's second seasonal event, with rewards for a list of objectives on the new map Krampus Lair (the 2017 Twisted Christmas update). This Russian guide explains each objective. For collectibles on the same map see Krampus Lair collectibles and for the boss Krampus Abomination boss guide.

Overview and rewards

All objectives are completed on Krampus Lair at any difficulty except the last, And to All a Good Night. To finish everything in a single run the author recommends Hard difficulty, Short length and a level 5+ Berserker with a melee-heavy setup.

Event rewards The event objective list.

The reward is two items, pajamas and a festive hat, plus 150,000 dosh into the vault for each objective.

Vault rewards Rewards shown in the event screen.

Breaking and Entering

Destroy Krampus's trinkets, which are found on the first location of the map (during the first wave). In game they are highlighted in light blue; shoot them all. See the dedicated trinkets guide.

Mincemeat

Activate the trap so that it kills a Zed:

  1. Run with the horde along the route marked by the red arrow.
  2. After jumping down, go to the lever along the yellow arrow.
  3. Wait until a Zed falls down after you.
  4. Pull the lever.

Stand Fast

From the second wave onward you get an extra, paid task: hold the zone highlighted in blue. After shopping, once the wave starts, go to the marked area (a marker leads you like the trader marker). Do not let Zeds stay inside for long: when they do, the bonus shrinks and the zone turns red. You do not have to defend perfectly, just not fail. On success you get the reward at the end of the wave.

Stand Fast zone The zone to hold.

Snow Prisons

Run around the map and destroy 10 snow globes. You also get a Steam achievement ("World Under Glass").

The original guide includes a dozen screenshots of the globe locations; for a text list use the Krampus Lair snow globe walkthrough.

And to All a Good Night

Finish Krampus Lair on Hard or higher. If you took the author's advice and chose Hard, the boss is not a problem. Note the boss has an armor bar under the health bar. You also earn the first-completion achievement for the chosen difficulty.
