Welcome to Fatal Experiment 2 by Project Zaero.
Please report any issues you find to projectzaero on Discord.
The "Deep End" of GTFO Modding.
- 10 Campaign Expeditions: Experience the storyline in Fatal Experiment 2.
- Expeditions may last over an hour and will challenge your team.
- 15 Bonus Expeditions: Arcadey / challenge levels.
- Typically 10 to 40 minutes, these levels are to-the-point and get you straight into the action. They vary drastically and offer a wide variety of experiences.
- 44 Custom Guns (6 are level specific).
- Recommended to not use WeaponStatShower as it will hide information about custom weapon behavior.
- Custom Melee Weapons: Sword, Sleeper Buster, Stick.
- Heavily Modified Vanilla Melee Weapons.
- Flashlight tool.
- 15 Classes to pick from that evolve over the course of an expedition by earning XP from kills and assisted kills.
- Many enemy variants with different abilities such as grappling, bleeding, knockback melee, and more, many with custom models and graphics. Because there are so many, here is a ridiculous spreadsheet with more info:

V4.2.2
- Glyphic Revolver
- Fixed it not having a chargeup
V4.2.1
- Dimensional SMG, Metalstorm SMG, Gatling Gun
- Recoil is now also ensured regardless of FPS due to EWC changes.
- Dimensional SMG
- Recoil reduced to compensate for the above changes. Changed loadout name to match new state.
- Disabled localization for weapon descriptions since they are very out of date.
V4.2.0
Gear Balance Overhaul TLDR:
- Added custom effects to many guns and reworked some to separate similar weapons into new niches.
- Recommend not using WeaponStatShower since it hides this info. Added more info to text to compensate.
- Tightened the gap between primaries and specials.
- Primaries
- Avg. Damage Efficiency: 800 -> 1800
- Avg. Damage increased by ~80%
- Specials
- Avg. Damage Efficiency: 3000 -> 2200
- Avg. Damage reduced by ~20%
- Reduced crit multipliers by ~50%
- Adjusted reload cancels to be more visually accurate and adjusted reload times to compensate.
- Most affected reload cancels are less effective, with a couple improving.
Report any glaring balancing issues to dinorush on Discord.
New Primary
- Soul Nuker
- Primary complement to the Soul Sniper. Fires an explosive shell, dealing immense damage over a huge area.
Miscellaneous
- Updated Afflicted textures
- Fixed a few missed odd enemy sizes
- Increased amber flashlight range: 8m -> 10m
- Machine Stick damage increased by 50% to match the intended DPS (hit rate was lower than expected)
- Adjusted knife hitbox to the "fixed" version
Gear Balance Changes
- Most shotguns now have higher base damage but deal less damage if multiple pellets hit the same target. This effectively increases the damage dealt if you miss some pellets or hit multiple enemies at once.
- All burst weapons are Autoburst. Hold down the trigger to continue firing.
