Tasked with the creation of super soldiers to be utilized by the British Government, a company known as Horzine would start out with the intention of assuring the wests domination in any combat scenario. The issue was, as the CEO continued to experiment with altering the human form genetically, he would eventually go on to try to resurrect his son which would ultimately fail. In this failure however, his mentality would shift towards his family being the dominant force on Earth. This would go on to cause an outbreak which caused London to become inundated with monsters, but how were these things created and what coding was used? Let's discuss that in todays episode!
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy Mutations, Experiments, and Lore of the Mother Clot and Clots in Killing Floor 1& 2 Explored

Small correction: not all female Zeds are based on Kevin's daughter, the Siren is actually based off of the DNA of his wife, who he killed in anger. Her desiccated appearance and screaming is based off of his perception of her in life.
*Women jokes here*
So that all these monsters aggression is purely based on him and not his wife/daughter/son 😂😂😂
Hah, women.
jeez thats dark
Women ☕
"Like when people say they slept like a baby, do they mean they slept well? Or they woke up every 10 minutes screaming?"
This game is full of gold
In Killing Floor 2 during the "endless mode". The Patriarch is the narrator for the waves. He drops little lore bits here and there but what I think is most relevant is the after wave announcement. If you kill the zed quickly the Patriarch states "There must be something wrong the aggression subroutines". I believe this may suggest that the Zeds are actually made more aggressive somehow.
This is backed up with how Fleshpounds are a thing.
@@LordofSadFac iirc some lore about the Fleshpound is that it has the apparatus on it to blind and deafen it to surrounding stimuli. When stimuli is detected its system is flooded with steroids and stimulants.
I wanna say there was text about its brain chemistry also being altered to only register anger or pain but I dont recall it clearly...
Also he mentions sometimes that zeds are subject to failure often. He'll say something like, "that fleshpound was weaker than usual, i'll get the next one right." So it seems the zed production method leaves something to be desired for consistency.
@@reaper_exd7498
I've played a LOT of endless mode and don't remember him stating a zed was weaker. Seems out of character for him to do so as well, seeing how he is so arrogant that he would never admit any faults in the zeds.
I believe the line you're thinking of is, "That Scrake's chainsaw was out of gas. The next one will kil you."
@@feathero3 I mean
I always assumed the zeds were aggressive because that's what they were made for. It was originally a super soldier project after all. And after everything went down, the Patriarch needed the aggression to fight the war.
But the aggression being a symptom of unaddressed psychopathy leftover from the son also seems possible.
I know for some of the Zeds the aggression was for different reasons.
The Chainsaw wielding Skrake for instance was supposed to recieve massive doses of serotonin and other positive chemicals when treating soldiers in the field.
Unfortunately the word "treating soldiers" was too vague...as in "anything you use your chainsaw on counts" vague, causing them to just be raging psychotic killers.
Some of the aggression is an intended effect of implants. The Fleshpound for example is rendered blind, and has a device that pumps hormones, steroids, and adrenaline into it when it encounters certain stimuli. That's why it functions in game the way it does. It targets a member of the group, and then once they've been in their aggro range long enough, it hulks out and chases them in rage mode and doesn't stop this cycle until they're deleted or the FP is deleted.
Funny enough all zeds look up to patriarch. Crawlers call him dad daddy or father forgot which one sometimes. If you die and spectate waiting to respawn you can hear the distorted voice line.
Honestly, if you could tell TH-cam to shove it on the grounds of these videos being educational entertainment, I would support you all the way! You're the only channel that I have found that does full biological breakdowns on fictional creatures that I know of, and I am glad to have found you!
I feel the same way
If naked yoga is educational than Roanoke Gaming is basically an online doctorate class.
Roanoke is one of the best 😊
I love Killing Floor 2 and the fact it's still getting new free updates 6 years later is insane. Been waiting for this episode since I found the channel.
so mid
Yeah the updates are not that good, community maps and ABOMNATIONS OF WEAPONS such as the Famas and G36c, the animations....jesus
@@andrada9506 who cares? It's fun, has cool monsters, amazing weapons, great graphics, and a cool story/lore.
As you can see, the KF community are snobs.
It's getting new maps yes but some weapons are locked behind a pay wall and when they originally did that I quit the game.
I always viewed the Clot Mother as more of a Plant/Tree organism. Where it grows the Zeds like fruit using the biomass as food to sustain that growth. Also in KF2 the mercs are hired by Horzine itself and use a lot of their tech. It is also somewhat implied that the mercs are clones themselves and Horzine is still just running experiments.
Kinda sad to think the og mercs died, surrounded in their first attempt, only to be cloned and not be the same or have psychological damage (Which would make their personalities and quips stronger and more frequent
The Clot Mother only produces Clots. You can see this in the Biotics Lab
Idk what the clot mother really is but she definitely has appendages capable of quick movement. On the Volter manor map there is a switch on the ground floor. If you flip it a huge lovecraftian tentical with a mouth quickly emerges and starts inhaling all zeds in the area, ending them in the process. If you follow this tentical bellow you'll notice it's attatched to the clot mother. Sooo. Idk what she is but immobile isnt it.
@@kharjoIII I think it kinda 50/50 as in killing floor 2 the outbreak is still going on in London, as well the fact that you tend to get more tougher, also in killing floor 3 there are people who don't agree with horizon new super soldiers, heck I have a theory horizon created a corporatocrcy in the remains of London, so there might be a few survivors who reamber what happen, Mr foster is there and it could be due to him bieng a clone or found some way to keep him young, do i like to imagine there two an older one and his younger clone.
I think the idea for why the Clots & Zeds are so aggressive is really interesting. Even while you were explaining it, I was thinking how babies are in a vulnerable & still-solidifying state of being, so a lot of urges and emotional reactions can't be fully acted upon. Having a fully-functioning body, the ability to express that immediately and knowing that you're strong enough to sufficiently act on your impulses & gut feelings must give you a hugely different relationship with the learning process. What'd you'd learn compared to an infant would turn out completely different too.
Where babies need to sit back and learn, you can act and what you'll pick up will change entirely. Really cool ^^
Found KF1 in the walmart clearance isle in 2009 for $5 and ended up putting thousands of hours into it, thousands in KF2 as well, severely underrated game, glad it's getting love, love your content as well!
Same story. I remember that box on the shelves. Thats a permanent memory for me
_Ahh good ole’ Killing Floor, Both 1 & 2 are my favorite games of all times._
Been playing alot of them, I like the background lore alot
@@RoanokeGamingU SHOULD DO OUTLAST 1 CHRIS WALKER
@@RoanokeGaming the most interesting thing is that even the first one still has a small modding community. I check up on it from time to time since i still host a small kf1 server for friends and myself :D
@@naverthis7552
I went back to the first game to get some missing achievements. It's such a different beast compared to the 2nd. Both are great in their own ways and have similar yet unique game feels.
😊
@@feathero3 totally agree there. I went back because in the past there was this really chaotic server called CustomShitServer and i missed that gameplay. That server was the most chaotic thing i ever played in kf with hordes of tank fleshpounds and such.
I'm personally curious how the bosses are made besides Dr Hans and Patriarch. Matriarch seems to be a lot like him, but then you get the King Fleshpound, The Bloat (I think that's its name), and the Krampus variant. Since Santa does exist in this universe (though significantly hunkier), the Krampus variant would be interesting
The Bloat is the base version of the big green zed. It's boss version is called, "Abomination," and as much as I HATE that boss, it would be awesome to see the science and lore behind it.
From what I can guess, both the King Fleshpound & Abomination were the result of a few of their normal versions (Fleshpound & Bloat) being further augmented and enhanced on a genetic level.
The Matriarch however does have an established background. She was originally Kevin's/Patriarch's daughter Rachel Clamely (who had previously aided the London Mercs in a partially successful op to destroy a major Horzine Facility where the Patriarch was, though he escaped before its destruction) who after she created the EDAR droids (with most of them ending up in Kevin's control) in another failed bid to kill her mutated father, resorted to using the same gene altering procedures that turned her father into The Patriarch along with an experimental combat suit, hoping to match him in a direct fight. But just like it did with Kevin, the mutations drove Rachel mad & ever since she's taken the few EDAR units still under her control and has started a unhinged manhunt against the Patriarch, even if it means slaughtering any survivors or mercs who run into her in the process.
@@manofmercy1500
I love and hate Rachel's story.
On the one hand it's awesome to bring an established character back, and in such a tragic hero story where they succumb to the same evils as the monster they're hunting is a nice touch. Not every character needs to remain pure.
However, I don't know if it fits Rachel's character to actually make that change so drastically and just become another boss killing innocents. Seems so out of no where story wise. We only knew her from 1 Objective Mode mission, but I still never got the "I will do whatever it takes" vibe from her.
@@feathero3 Eh, true it was rather out of nowhere. I'd just reckoned that it was due to a mix of both her drive to stop her father by any means & lingering pieces of her original desire for his approval (before she came to London and found out what he had done) both merging & being messed up by the mutations.
@@manofmercy1500 Well, she does say "Daddy! How do I get through to you?!" Daddy issues and... family in general. Maybe she wasn't loved or something.
Since you plan on covering the other variants in the future I thought I'd throw this out here so you have the info when you get to the Scrake. It's a common misconception lore wise that the Scrake was developed to be sort of a specimen field medic and while aspects of this may still ring somewhat true this is actually a tidbit thats more so a holdover from the mod version of the game. A Killing Floor 2 steam trading card actually reveals that the Scrake's explicit purpose to the specimen horde is to collect bio-mass in order to feed to the clot mother to propagate the creation of more clots, it does so by hacking apart zed and human corpse's alike into smaller pieces using it's chainsaw in the aftermath of a firefight and then transporting the assorted viscera to a processing facility. This can also be inferred to be why Scrakes show up during later waves as they're likely attracted by the sounds of gunfire.
Additionally in a post on the Tripwire Interactive forums, the composer and co-designer of the first game and mod, zYnethetic revealed the Scrake's name is actually an acronym standing for Swing Chainsaw Rape And Kill Everything. This could infer the possibility that Scrakes serve the dual purpose of basically being living psychological warfare existing to cause as much horrifying chaos as possible to break survivors and although just a theory I personally believe the Scrake may be responsible for the corpses frequently seen strung up in disturbing fashions throughout both game's maps.
so that guy was called scrake, this whole time me and my friends call him "Chainsaw Massacre" along with "Panty Arch" "Cockroach" and "Siren", The other variants, we just call them zombies~
Those were the gud ol days~
Couldn't both pieces of lore for the Scrake be true? Like maybe when making the Scrake, the investors/company members were like, "Why does he have a chainsaw?" and the cover up story was, "Oh, he's a field medic. Yeah that's it!" When really it was to help collect bio mass.
Also how is the Scrake supposed to R@pe without any private par- you know what? I don't wanna know.
@@feathero3 very possible, does sound like a Horzine level coverup. Also as for the other bit thats possibly also a holdover from the mod when the game was way way edgier. But its also notable that scrakes are the only specimen that wears pants and in KF2 Oisten has line saying "I wonder whats under that scrakes apron!" so make of that what you will.
@@VekktorYT
Oh gosh. I never noticed they are the only ones covered up, and now I will never un-noticed!
@@feathero3Now that I've read everything that you guys have been saying, I can officially declare this horrifying to a completely fucked up degree.
Killing Floor was never something I felt interested in playing myself, but the unique appearances of the enemies always intrigued me. I tried reading about them on the wiki, the way I did for L4D infected (though I actually did play L4D2) but couldn’t get into it. So seeing you cover Killing Floor is pretty exciting! Thanks for doing this, no matter how shitty TH-cam is about it!
I also started watching your channel with your original Necromorph videos, so this is also kinda nostalgic to me.
TBG the game doesn't seem that appealing to me either because of the evident multiplayer focus.
My friend got me to play it with him so I could get over my sudden zombie fear, which was caused by a medication that made me hallucinate being chased by zombies (which sucked because I love zombie stuff). Amusingly enough, it worked, even though I'm garbage at FPS.
@@OverdramaticAngel dude what 😂
It was fun to grab some friends and play for a week or two, but it's definitely a flavour of the month kind of game
@Sergio Leonardo Cornejo Well it does have private and solo servers.
I think that for the psychology part a lot of their behavior is also based off of the incredible stressful environment they are formed in. Strong vacillation between very bright light and darkness, pain that they likely feel constantly, etc.
I've been a fan of KF for years and have always been interested in the lore as the game does seem rooted in some form of realism. I'm so happy that you're taking a crack at this AND that there's going to be more than 1 video!
kf2 killed it, it is mid
Just keep up the great work🙌, your content always amazes me 👌
Ayyyy thanks brother!
I would actually love to hear more about you and how you became a virologist and how it effected your life. I'm extremely interested in both you as a person and the field. Long time subscriber. Wish you the best my dude. Would be a dream to see this happen.
I cannot WAIT for the Space Marines games next year just because we'd get more Space Marines content from you without the noods!
Also, holy hell man, you crank videos like 2 times a week, thats crazy!
i absolutely want you to continue with making more videos on Killing floor because holy hell these games are freaking AWESOME!
I cannot wait for you to do The Callisto Protocol, the monsters in that are super cool and you'll love their you know what
Thank you so much for covering this awesome game!
I've spent hundreds of hours fighting so many zeds. Always a good time!
I always learn more than I expect from your videos. The way you look at the science inside fiction and compare it to real life science is endlessly enjoyable for me.
The thought of the Patriarch casually taking a train to Paris while trying to hide his massive mutated body with a newspaper is hilarious.
I *completely* forgotten about this game ever existed in the first place! Quite literally
17:30 i did not expect this level of depth of science in a lore video.
I am not bitching.
I'm applauding.
wp mate. wp.
Excited to see you cover the variants. Also I'm glad to see you play the superior class of medic.
Alright, Roanoke. Who's your favorite Mercenary from Killing Floor?
Also, I'm not sure if it would be possible since the mutations and powers are optional. But could you look into the bull shark from Maneater and its DLC? Some crazy stuff your shark gets into there.

Glad to see you have chosen this game to explore the lore of, as it has been one that has not gotten much attention.
The soundtrack makes this game really fun. Suprised you were able to use Volter's Theme, not sure what zYnthetic is doing anymore tbh.
Can't wait till you get to the sub-bosses (Skrake, Fleshpound and my fav the ol'blazy boy himself, The Husk). Hell or even the Siren would be interesting for those who don't know her back story. Lets just say I'm more of a Metal and Buckshot kind of guy when it comes to her, generally in the form of the Doomstick Alt-fire.
Always wondered if they perfected cloning and that was the player character. Endless mode is run by the patriarch as a test to refine the clots. Various perks make you more resistant, possible gene edits.
"I'm probably gonna cover all the variants anyways", the words of a man who doesn't know how much work Callisto Protocol is about to put him through 👀👀👀👀🤣
I love Killer Floor 2 i have put hours in to that game so thank you for doing a video on it.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
Thanks for the compliment man, hope you enjoy it!
I used to love killing floor but data not always being saved losing certain character lvls was a huge bummer if uninstalled. Than adding in weapons behind a pay wall (no idea if they still do this) made me just leave the game. I used to buy the cosmetics but we seen it as the devs where shifting dynamics and it's best to leave.
Someday I'd love a Warhammer xenos breakdown. Mostly Tyranids. Thank you for the great videos Roanoke.
Since "the Callisto protocol" is finally out, will you ever do morphology videos about the game's biophage creatures? I originally found your channel when you did the morphology of the necromorphs from dead space and it was very well researched and I learn some new things about my favorite space zombies.
I'm sorry that the last video got shanked in the shower and you had to re-uploaded
I'm super happy you're covering KF though!
Such a fun game, I hope you make loads of dosh
So weird that the platform can be so hostile to creators. Like, people play these games and watch the films you cover. There's clearly a baked in audience. That, to me, says easy ad revenue, yet here we are.
ANYWAY, another banger. Can't wait for the variant breakdowns.

Im excited for this series. I love KillingFloor 2. Also it made perfect sense to me that you chose the Medic class lol. Its pretty overpowered as well.
For me I love Beserker and Demo
Loved this one and hoping for a [Prototype] virus vid soon!
Hands down one of the most important channels on TH-cam.
I don't know how to say this man but your my go to channel to help me sleep this has gotten to the point I can't normally watch your videos because I'll fall asleep
I loved this game series back in highschool. Definitely getting back into it.
out of the games i thought you could do, I never expected kf. This is a game that I played a lot during college and it was a great time. Fun multiplayer with unique classes.
Killing Floor III was just announced so looking forward to that and your coverage of it if you decide to do so.
When you go back the field is the end of Roanoke or could we expect a video every now and then? Loved ur content for the past few years now man
just love the KF2 music playing in the background
FINALLY, been waiting for breakdown. after what? 2 years? many thanks roanoke, great video as always.
Pretty cool. I've never actually played the game, but I like watching things about it.
I think the creator of the game made a short but decent movie (actually it a trailer called undercover) on how to Clots got out which was the result of some journalist/activists trying to expose the company ("the world needed to know" as the one who reminds me of Amy once said) but ended up releasing them all because they were found by one lone and unarmed scientist who they could of just easily punched.
Reminds me of a movie where some activist journalists try to uncover animal cruelty i think? And end up releasing an infected monkey

Stop censoring yourself and just ignore the age restrictions. Rely on sponsors. TH-cam will find a way to take your money ANYWAY.
Have you considered doing a video exploring the mutants from The Forest video game? I think that’d be pretty interesting, and with the Sons of the Forest also coming out here in a few months, there’ll be a greater variety of mutants to check out.
I have been waiting for this for a while now I'm even more happier than before
If you are up for exploring some book and Manga material, I'd love to see videos exploring Guts from Berserk and the Blackwing Virus from Star Wars: Death Troopers.
I have to wonder just what kind of ridiculously lucky genetic dice had to get rolled for Guts to do half the crazy stuff he did in the Golden Age Arc (no post Eclipse stuff, we'd be entering straight up magic territory)
dude was born from a corpse that was hanging in a tree, he's gotta already be straight up magic to survive the fall
@@LtDragonfruit Well, depends on the mud and whether or not he got tangled in his cord just enough to slow his fall but not enough to get strangled
Oh, it’s so nice to see Killing Floor get some love🎉💕
Hi Roanoke! I love your videos so so much and I was wondering if you had plans to cover the cell replication madness going on in the movie Annihilation?
I would love to hear your microbiological thoughts on it :)
I've been waiting for this one!
Hope you enjoy bro!
@@RoanokeGaming I do love that the biologist plays the medic class.
You know speaking of games like this, horde shooters/slashers, with Darktide releasing and reminding me of Vermintide I wonder if you would ever cover the Skaven in warhammer. Whether or not they're more man or rat, and the alterations of the species brought about by clan Moulder, specifically the Rat Orgre.
I remember watching a video on killing floor on wow such gaming, which eventually lead me here, it has been a long time
Those reporters mentioned are from a small film that was made a couple years ago called Killing Floor: Uncovered in case anyone was wondering
4:44 Wait this game actually has a location in WALES? my home and yes you said it right :)
Keep going Roanoke your videos are awesome man don't let it bring you down
Yes your looking at Killing Floor I asked for this multiple times and it’s finally happening I’m so happy the moment I saw this it put a smile on my face
There is indeed a killing floor 3 coming
You make some dope videos Roanoke. I especially like the dead space videos keep up the good work.👍
I kind of miss playing this with my nephew years ago, underrated game! *welds a door*
Can’t wait for you to talk about the callisto protocols infection
Same
One thing I think would be interesting for the third of these games is that the Clod could be throwing more bodies into those meat grinders, and potentially non-human bodies as well resulting in new abominations in assembly to setting a precedent to continue the series even without a bigger player behind the wheel. You could even add various pvp games similar to left 4 dead.
Yeah I myself have thought of that. Maybe alternate branches of the company went against the nut job boss and sent their clones against other clones as bio weapons. Massive infighting yes but a good distraction and a way to have Allie’s in the game. In fact I’ve always wanted things like more heavy military support like helicopters and artillery strikes giving huge damage AOE moves.
Of course also more experiments like having players being in control of enemies as a form of simulations. And like you said, animals thrown in for more abominations and new enemies, which would be very fun to spice things up.
@@shcdemolisher Oh yes and a PVP mode of Clod versus mercenaries.
There is a pvp mode in kf2 if I remember correctly
Ive played both of these since the beginning, so happy to see this
I’ve been waiting and dreaming for this day I’m so glad he’s covering kf1-2 bro
The anecdote from your friend could the issue be the original rna recreating the og DNA.
Ever considered going over the Typhons in Prey? Recently got into it and the lore is pretty interesting
Woo! I had been waiting for this one!
I missed the game content, good to see it again
Oh yeeeeeaahhhh a Killing Floor breakdown!! Roanoke doing nothing but the best work on a wonderful game series. If he does State of Decay soon that would just be the greatest thing. Keep up the wonderful job Roanoke.
I have been waiting for this video for years since I found your channel.
Yooo I've been waiting for you to make a KF1 and 2 video. Keep up the good work Roanoke.
I'm waiting on you and wow such gaming's video on the callisto protocol! I'm excited for both
Oh Hell yeah I was hoping you'd cover Killing Floor at some point!
Thank you so much for this. I have been waiting for this!
It's amazing how much your game changes depending on what perks you are playing with. High level Demos nuking everything is hilariously effective
Until you get to Hell on Earth difficulty. Then the medic is king
I've been wanting you to cover this game for awhile now it's such an amazing game with allot of interesting variations for you to talk about
Great content as always! Thanks for being here brother!
6:58 those pods are literally the exact same design as the Halo 4 cyro pods that chief wakes up in. and it drives me up a wall that I seem to be the only one who knows that
I never played killing floor but my friend dose and he tells me its fun so i might buy it for pc keep the good work Roanoke ❣
I was thinking to myself 2 days ago that you could really do some good stuff with killing floor 2. Now I’m here, hope you’re planning on looking at The Callisto Protocol too.
Been waiting for this for years.
I absalutely love these games and have being playing them since the OG
oh nice, a new KF lore video.
from the many years I've been apart of the community I remember I could only find one good one other than this.
Maaaan I love those games, takes me back
Hey you called it on Killing Floor 3 being a thing, should definitely break down the "Making a Monster" (Announcement Trailer) for KF3
Yo Bro-anoke, keep at it. We need you
I've been waiting for this one for so long.
Ahh yes, Clots, my favorite meat firework. Thanks for an excellent video against! I'm excited for this run!
Who knew this game had so much LORE!
I sure didn't!
What gives. There be tones of new material here. Pleasently surprised to be sure, but.. Well, good you're still with us.
So happy Roanoke finally doing killing floor
I think it’s a bit of both: people are not blank slates. They have natural tendency and default personalities, though to some degree this can be altered to better fit the environment and society one finds themselves in, though how malleable someone is also probably varies.
Surprised with how recent this video is, always nice to see Killing Floor get more attention
with the new release of warhammer 40k darktide roanoke should do the biology of the nurgle infected
