KF2 Summer 2017 Weeklies: Free Precious Skins and Reward Schedule
This page summarizes a short 2017 guide (written in rough English by a Russian-speaking player) about the Summer Sideshow weekly outbreaks and the free cosmetics they gave. Treat the dates as that time's schedule. For the event as a whole see the Summer Sideshow 2017 guide, and for the weekly modes in general the weekly outbreak modes guide.
The idea
Each week of the event, completing the weekly mode earned a cosmetic reward. According to the author, on July 3, 2017, three skins were already being given for free, one of which was precious, and the first free precious item (a cap) was available until 20:00 European time that day. Over seven weeks it was possible to get four precious skins for free. The author planned a video showing how to get them, including on a custom map for players who were low level, and noted that his earlier guides were repeatedly taken down.
Weekly modes (developer descriptions)
- June 27, Tiny Terror. A small threat is still a threat. Shooting ZEDs makes them shrink, which makes them harder to hit.
- July 4, Bobble Zed. Something went wrong with this batch and the heads are far larger than normal.
- July 11, Poundemonium. All Fleshpounds, all the time (almost). The Fleshpound Convention is in town. Strategy: Poundemonium guide.
- July 18, Up, Up and Decay. Shooting ZEDs makes them inflate like balloons, even floating away and popping. Try to make ninety-nine ZED balloons.
- July 25, Zed Time. All the Zed Time in the world: you are in Zed Time whenever you are near a ZED.
- August 1, Beefcake. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. ZEDs gain health, size and reach when they hit players or are affected by certain ZED abilities.
- August 8, Boom. ZEDs under pressure may explode. Repeat summer weekly.
