KF2 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Challenge: Survivalist HoE Ruleset

A fan-made challenge for Killing Floor 2 inspired by the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. It is not an official mode: you set the rules for yourself and your friends and try to win.

Rules

  • Play the Survivalist perk only. Any skills are allowed except Spontaneous Zed-plosion and Weapon Harness.
  • Hell on Earth difficulty only, any game length.
  • Play any Stalker-themed map. The author links a Steam Workshop collection of such maps.

Community remarks

In the comments players joked about missing hardbass sound mods and vodka, and debated which in-game shotgun best stands in for the Exterminator from Call of Pripyat (one noted it is based on the Armsel Protecta, another said the AA12 resembles it). The author also told commenters that "cheeki breeki" is always with you.
