How to Kill Hans in KF2 - Gas, Melee and Grenades

A tongue-in-cheek, very short Steam guide to defeating the boss Hans Volter. Its advice boils down to one theme: gas. Treat it as a light-hearted cheat sheet rather than serious theory; for a detailed counter see Hell on Earth strategies.

Step by step

1. Use gas.
2. Then use more gas.
3. If you fail, use even more gas.
4. Then use your melee attack and spam grenades.

Hans Volter, the boss the guide jokes about.

Practical reading

• Gas and poison-style grenades deal area damage over time and suit a boss who is fought mostly with grenades and sustained pressure.
• Switch to melee when Hans is stunned or distracted, and keep throwing grenades whenever they are off cooldown.
• Do not rely on this alone on harder difficulties; combine it with team focus fire and positioning.
