10 Tips for Killing Floor 3

Team play is the dream play! Playing in teams and online matches is the way to go for efficiency and overall enjoyment of the game.
Don’t get ahead of yourself! Start at a normal difficulty, and if you’re feeling confident, challenge yourself with Hard and Hell on Earth modes.
Focus is key. Stick to one class when leveling up for maximum efficiency and to satisfy the completionist in you.
Use the multi-tool! People tend to ignore this aspect of the game, but it was part of the tutorial for a reason. Use it!
Assign roles in team play. An organized group effort will get you far if you stick to your role.
The map is your friend. Use the traps available throughout the map to your advantage. It will help with ZED annihilation and give you time to complete missions.
Optimize your weapon loadout. Certain weapons kill ZEDs faster than others. Learn what weapons are more effective than others, and you will do just fine.
You’re a loot goblin from now on. Collecting resources scattered throughout the maps can help you with weapon mods and crafting.
Do what you are good at. There are several types of classes you can choose from; use the one best suited to your skills!
And finally! Blow these ZEDs sky high! Shoot till you can’t shoot no more, run till you become trapped, and no matter what! DO NOT GIVE UP!
