"Operation: Breakout" Escapes Containment as Tripwire Interactive Launches Season Two for Killing Floor 3, Including a New Map, Specialist, Zed and More
Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive today launched the second season of new content and rewards for Killing Floor 3, which released worldwide on July 24, 2025 for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), the PlayStation®5 system, and the Xbox Series X|S console systems. Available now for all platforms, "Operation: Breakout" takes Nightfall Operatives deep into the dark and dangerous jungles of Costa Rica where an unseen enemy has escaped its former imprisonment, introducing the stealthy Stalker Zed to the game alongside the first new map, Prison. Operatives get some backup of their own with the addition of fan-favorite, DJ Scully, joining as a playable specialist and a deadly new primary weapon, the KV Recluse SMG. The seasonal update also includes a new Supply Pass with 100 levels of free and paid cosmetic rewards, new daily challenges, weekly mutators and ongoing work to address bugs, performance optimizations, and quality-of-life feedback.
To celebrate the release of "Operation: Breakout", Tripwire has announced a sale on Steam featuring a 33% off discount on all three editions of the game. Players can visit Killing Floor 3's social media channels for news about console sales promotions coming shortly.
Killing Floor 3 "Operation: Breakout" content Includes:
- Narrative Missions - 'Operation: Breakout': With Dr. Emmanuel Moorcroft's threat intensifying beyond Nightfall's capabilities, Cordelia decides to expand their ranks, sending the team to Horzine Blacksite to find a veteran of the original outbreak, but their efforts are soon thwarted by Moorcroft. After rescuing the mercenary, Nightfall must scramble to block Moorcroft's alarming consolidation of power.
- Players will take on ten new missions taking place across the new Prison and familiar maps. Completing all ten missions will unlock exclusive player cards, character skins, weapon stickers, and XP Rewards.
- Operation: Breakout is selectable via the Assignments: Mission tab. Players can toggle between active incomplete Operations to progress them in any order.
- Survival Map - Prison: Hidden deep within the jungles of Costa Rica, the once-abandoned cryo-prison still holds nightmares aplenty. Operatives will battle Zeds from the forested exterior walls into the depths below, where a small army has awoken due to a power outage. The Prison is filled with interactive elements to fuel replayability, just be mindful of the gruesome remnants of its past inhabitants.
- Specialist - DJ Scully: Somehow, DJ Scully has returned! Everyone's favorite, loveable Dutch DJ brings his quick wits, clever quips, and possibly ex-special forces training to the fight against Horzine. Play DJ Scully as any Perk, and bring a little bit of his lighthearted charm to the future.
- Zed - Stalker: Officially designated Specimen WYR-05, the latest iteration of Horzine's Stalker remains a deadly foe with stealth capabilities. This generation of Stalkers has been programmed to hunt down lone Operatives that have separated from the group, so stick together. Savvy Specialists can utilize tools to reveal the Stalker while cloaked, including the Pulse Lure, Sonar Sight Mod, UV Light Underbarrel Mod and the Commando Perk Passive Ability.
- Weapon - KV Recluse SMG: A high-powered sub machine gun, native to the Medic class, but usable by all Specialists and ready to be fitted with existing and new weapon mods.
- Ammunition: Armor Piercing, Incendiary, Overpressure, Acidic, Rapid Release Darts, Instant Heal Darts, Explosive Healing Darts
- Underbarrel: Laser Sight, Healing Grenade Launcher, UV Light (NEW)
- Receiver: Fast Action Receiver, Heavy Frame Receiver, Affliction Amplifier
- Sights: Red Dot, Reflex, AOS, Green Dot, C4mi (NEW), Sonar (NEW)
- Season Two Supply Pass: Play and earn 100 new rewards with the latest Supply Pass, which includes both free and paid tracks. Supply Passes can be purchased at any time while Supply Points are earned through gameplay, and neither expire.
- Much More: New Daily Challenges, Wave and Weekly Mutators, new execution animations for many Zeds, a new Achievement, Quality of Life improvements, bug and crash fixes, and ongoing optimization work continues.
Killing Floor 3 is the next installment in the legendary co-op action/horror FPS series. The year is 2091, 70 years after the events in Killing Floor 2, and megacorp Horzine has produced the ultimate army: an obedient horde of bio-engineered monstrosities called Zeds. Now, the only thing standing between these infernal creations and the future of humanity is the rebel rogue group known as Nightfall. This intense first-person shooter puts players in the role of a Nightfall specialist, joining forces with up to five teammates as they battle through a war-ravaged, dystopian future, surviving unrelenting waves of Zeds, unlocking new skills, and building the ultimate arsenal.
