Changing your Killing Floor 2 server difficulty is an excellent way to fine-tune your gameplay experience. Whether you want a more relaxed session or a true “Hell on Earth” challenge, GGServers makes it simple and intuitive to configure directly through our Game Control Panel. This guide will walk you step-by-step through how to easily modify your server’s difficulty setting, so you can create the perfect match for you and your players.
Here’s how you can change the difficulty level of your Killing Floor 2 dedicated server quickly and safely using the GGServers control panel:
- 1. Log in to your GGServers Control Panel. Once you’re inside, locate your Killing Floor 2 server from the list of active services.
- 2. Click the server to open its management page, then click the “Stop” button to temporarily pause the server. This ensures your configuration changes apply correctly and avoid any corruption or sync issues.

Once the server is stopped, you can start making configuration adjustments.
- 3. From the left-side navigation menu, click Server Settings to open your configuration options.

- 4. Select the General Settings tab. This section contains the most common game configuration options for Killing Floor 2, including the server name, admin password, map rotation, and difficulty levels.

Now, scroll through the configuration options until you find the field labeled Server Difficulty.
This setting determines how tough enemies are and how much coordination your team will need to survive. The values correspond to these difficulty levels:
- 0 = Normal – Great for casual or new players.
- 1 = Hard – Offers a challenging but balanced experience.
- 2 = Suicidal – Enemies hit harder and spawn faster. For experienced players.
- 3 = Hell on Earth – The ultimate test. Brutal enemies, faster waves, and limited room for error.

After selecting your desired difficulty level, the GGServers panel automatically saves your changes. Once saved, scroll back up and click the Start button to bring your Killing Floor 2 server back online. When it’s running again, you’ll notice the difficulty change immediately reflected in-game.
