Killing Floor 2's steampunk summer event arrives with a new map and reintroduces Objective Mode

Summer means patios, pools, and beach trips.

More importantly, it means video game seasonal events. Today, Killing Floor 2's steampunk summer event is live, and it offers up a new game mode, map, and weapons for you to smash some Zeds with.

The event is called Back & Kickin' Brass, and it re-introduces Objective Mode, which tasks players with completing a variety of tasks while fending off hordes of Zed. The update also comes with a snazzy new map called Steam Fortress and two new weapons: the Seal Squeal and a medic bat.
