Killing Floor 2 Update Today on PS4 Kicks Off the Summer Sideshow Seasonal Event

Given away to PlayStation Plus members last month, the PlayStation 4 version of Killing Floor 2 received a new update today that kicks off the psycho-circus themed Summer Sideshow seasonal event. According to players, Killing Floor 2 update 1.08 is 6.86GB.

Running through August 8, the Summer Sideshow is the first seasonal event for Killing Floor 2 and offers a circus-themed map, cosmetics, and more:

The Summer Sideshow introduces a host of new content to Killing Floor 2 and new ways to play during the one-month course of its event. The centerpiece of that new content is a new circus-themed map, complete with outrageous circus freak zeds that make scary clowns look like cute cuddly puppies. There will be a new set of specific objectives for this map, entitled “The Tragic Kingdom”, which upon completion will unlock the exclusive Sideshow Hazmat Suit (good for keeping clown blood-stained cotton candy from getting stuck to players). The Tragic Kingdom is a scary place, so players will have to make good use of the two new weapons included in the update: the HZ12 Shotgun is for the Support Perk only and the Centerfire Lever Action is primarily for Sharpshooter and Multi-Perk with Gunslinger.

There will be plenty of other cosmetic items to unlock as well; over 50 different items obtainable by earning tickets during normal gameplay that can be exchanged for things like new face paints. There will be some paid cosmetic DLC as well, that players can purchase through the shop.

Bringing new unlockable cosmetic items for anyone who completes each special goal, the Summer Sideshow will have a new game mode each week. Things kick off today with Poundemonium, then you’ll find Up, Up and Decay, Zed Time, Beefcake, Boom, Cranium Cracker, Tiny Terror, and Bobble Zed from July 18 to August 29.
