KF2 Fleshpound: How to Kill It Faster

The Fleshpound is one of the most dangerous large ZEDs in Killing Floor 2, and a short community guide offers two simple ideas for killing it faster. For more on the specimen see the Scrake and Fleshpound takedowns page and the ZED types overview.

Weaknesses and strengths

The first step is knowing what it resists. The Fleshpound shrugs off a lot of bullet damage but is vulnerable to explosives. Prioritize explosive weapons and grenades against it and you will deal far more damage than with standard ammunition.

Aim for the weak spot

The glowing torso of the Fleshpound takes much more damage than the rest of its body, so aim there.
