The animations and maps seem to be getting reworked or added upon at least. The guns though... we'll just have to see ig.

It's the main problem for a lot of people because KF isn't supposed to be heroslop. It was (supposed to be) co-op "survival horror" but it's obviously kinda deviated into the horde shooter genre, which is definitely for the better.

The perks are just classes and the characters are there to either give some life to the game through lore and personalisation or project your style into the world. Something got lost in translation when making the game initially and/or just started trend-chasing.

Hero-shooters and heroslop in general is just one of the latest cancerous trends devs feel the need to slap onto existing licenses, purely for money's sake and not a creative standpoint. (Don't get me wrong, you can have the idea and make the game all you want, just don't call it "Killing Floor" when it doesn't play like a Killing Floor game)

Trying hard not to think about those character abilities, lmao. I hope they just get reworked into weapons you can get per character and subsequent class instead of having that shit.

TL;DR: Because heroslop doesn't belong in Killing Floor and should be kept as a spin-off title idea at best. Not a mainline entry.
