The chaos and calamity of a Killing Floor 3 match will inevitably have you looking around for a Multi-Tool. Various items and functions in the shooter’s maps require a Multi-Tool, and you definitely need to pick them up to make the game easier.
A Killing Floor 3 loadout consists of several elements: Guns, Grenades, Tools, and bigger guns. Sometimes, you need to think about the strategic element of a run, though, and this is where Multi-Tools need to be factored in.
It is a tool, so don’t expect it to deal direct damage to Zeds. However, the Multi-Tool is multi-faceted, making for more enjoyable multiplayer.
Where to Find a Multi-Tool in Killing Floor 3
The Multi-Tool is bought through the mid-game Trader shop, and each purchase costs 80 Dosh.
You frequently visit the Trader during Killing Floor 3 matches. After you complete a round, you’re rewarded with Dosh (in-game currency) to spend on new weapons, tools, and ammo, and health refills.
This is where we can purchase the Multi-Tool, and here’s a quick guide within a guide:
- Load into a game of Killing Floor 3.
- Clear a wave.
- Head to the Trader—usually marked with a blue holographic trail.
- Access it.
- Click on the Tools section of your loadout.
- Scroll across to Multi-Tool.
- Buy as many as you want or as you can afford.
- Once you exit the Trader, your Tool has now changed to the Multi-Tool.
What Does Multi-Tool do in Killing Floor 3?
The Multi-Tool is used to trigger environmental assists such as Traps, Ziplines, Turrets, Armor Crates, and unlock special doors around Killing Floor 3 maps.
There could be additional uses for the Multi-Tool. This is what I’ve found so far, and I’ve broken down the little benefits into a handy table you can consult for future reference.
| Multi-Tool Use | What it Does |
|---|---|
| Armor Crates | The Multi-Tool can be used to unlock Armor Crates. This can give you all a much-needed restock if you’ve taken a lot of damage. |
| Electronic Lock | Unlocks Electronic Locks to obtain special items and gain access to faster routes around the map. |
| Traps | Activating a Trap allows you to lure bigger Zeds into these traps and deal huge damage, or knock off a huge percentage of the wave’s reinforcements. |
| Turret | Turrets are automated guns that can give you a big helping hand in taking down Zeds in battle. |
| Ziplines | You can get from A to B much faster using Ziplines—handy for temporarily escaping Zeds or getting somewhere you must reach ASAP. |
