Steam News has word on the release of a new patch for Killing Floor, as well as the promised DLC for Tripwire Interactive's multiplayer zombie game. Update: The free DLC is not actually out yet, as this report originally erroneously stated. Apologies for the confusion. The patch addresses a number of bugs, and here's the skinny:

    • Added 4 new Characters as a purchasable DLC pack available via the Steam Store
    • Added new animations for the specimens busting down doors
    • Implemented a faster Quick Heal system
    • Updated the Door Welded display
    • Updated Mutator and Map White Lists(see Killing Floor forums at forums.tripwireinteractive.com for more details)
