Meet the KF2 ZEDs and Bosses: Short Profiles of Every Enemy

A short bestiary for new players, rewritten from a Spanish Steam guide: each Killing Floor 2 enemy gets a picture and a few lines of description, from the weakest Cyst to the Matriarch. For deeper stats and counters see the specimen file on the Fleshpound and the ZED health and weaknesses guide.

Small enemies

Cyst

Cyst.

One of the most common enemies. Weak alone, overwhelming in big groups. It is known for spawning in unexpected places such as ceilings, vents and manholes.

Alpha Clot

Alpha Clot.

A taller, more aggressive clot that counts as a minor enemy but can deal serious damage in large hordes. It differs slightly from the Cyst.

Slasher

Slasher.

A common, low and stocky ZED considered weak. Do not be fooled by its size, since Slashers are dangerous in groups.

Stalker

Stalker.

A female ZED in the minor category with a camouflage ability that hides her from detection.

Crawler

Crawler.

Smaller than most ZEDs, a black, insect-like humanoid that is fast and can slip past defenses.

Gorefast

Gorefast.

Has a steel blade stuck in its right arm. Counted as a minor enemy but tougher than the weakest ZEDs, and extremely quick to show anger.

Medium enemies

Bloat

Bloat.

An overweight ZED with a large body mass that acts as a durable meat shield. Unpleasant in more ways than one.

Siren

Siren.

A medium enemy whose scream disorients and damages players. She can be one of the most annoying enemies in the game.

Husk

Husk.

Has a cannon in place of an arm and fires fireballs at unaware players. Dangerous both at range and up close.

E.D.A.R. (Elite Defense and Assault Robot)

The three E.D.A.R. variants.

A mid-tier robotic enemy with a varied arsenal that surprises players. It comes in three variant models, which can strongly affect your survival.

Large enemies

Quarter Pound

Quarter Pound.

A higher-tier ZED with more strength and speed. Described as half a Fleshpound, a nuisance in the King Fleshpound fight.

Scrake

Scrake.

A high-level ZED with anger problems and a big chainsaw. Extremely dangerous and not something to face alone in co-op.

Fleshpound

Fleshpound.

A high-level ZED regarded as an extreme danger, a powerhouse in devastating melee with spinning drills attached to its hands.

Variants

Rioter

Rioter.

A minor enemy that differs from the Alpha Clot. It can become a big problem if you are careless.

Elite Crawler

Elite Crawler.

A Crawler variant whose death move is an explosion of poison gas, so it is important to eliminate it at a distance.

Gorefiend

Gorefiend.

A minor enemy tougher than a Gorefast. It has dark skin and wields two large blades, one in each arm. Be very careful.

Bosses

Dr. Hans Volter

Dr. Hans Volter.

A formidable boss with assault rifles, grenades and a protective shield.

Patriarch

Patriarch.

A boss returning from Killing Floor, fully updated, with stealthy and effective attacks that can wipe a team. Along with King Fleshpound it is described as one of the two hardest to defeat.

King Fleshpound

King Fleshpound.

A boss whose attacks are devastating to a whole team. A huge rage monster not to be taken lightly.

Abomination

Abomination.

A boss that stinks both literally and figuratively. It is not easy and can bring a player down, so do not underestimate it.

Matriarch

The boss faced at the end of a standard Survival game: legless, enormous, heavily mutated, and embedded in a super-powerful robot carrying a wide range of weapons.
