How to Change the Map on Your Killing Floor 2 Server
Learn how to change the active map, set up a map rotation cycle, and use all available maps on your Killing Floor 2 server.
Killing Floor 2 supports a wide variety of official and custom maps. You can change the active map, set up an automatic map rotation, and configure map voting between rounds.
Changing the Map via Config
Open the XGamingServer panel
Log in to the XGamingServer panel and stop your Killing Floor 2 server.
Navigate to the config file
In the sidebar, go to Files and navigate to KFGame > Config. Open PCServer-KFGame.ini.
Set the default map
The default map is set in the Startup tab on the XGamingServer panel as the first parameter in the startup command line. The map name goes before any ? parameters:
KF-BurningParis?GameMode=KFGameContent.KFGameInfo_SurvivalSave and restart
Save your changes and start the server.
Setting Up a Map Rotation
The map cycle determines the order maps rotate after each match ends. It's configured in the [KFGame.KFGameInfo] section of PCServer-KFGame.ini:
[KFGame.KFGameInfo]
GameMapCycles=(Maps=("KF-BurningParis","KF-Outpost","KF-BioticsLab","KF-VolterManor","KF-Catacombs","KF-EvacuationPoint","KF-Farmhouse","KF-BlackForest"))All maps are listed inside a single GameMapCycles entry, separated by commas. The server will cycle through them in order after each match.
💡 Tip: You can include the same map multiple times in the rotation if you want it to appear more frequently.
Changing the Map In-Game
If you have admin access, you can switch maps without restarting:
Open the console
Press the tilde key (~) to open the console.
Run the change map command
Admin ChangeMap KF-OutpostThe server will immediately load the specified map.
You can also change maps through WebAdmin by navigating to the map change section.
Map Voting
By default, players can vote on the next map between rounds. To disable map voting, add this to the [KFGame.KFGameInfo] section:
bDisableMapVote=trueWhen map voting is disabled, the server automatically follows the map rotation defined in GameMapCycles.
