What does Enfeeble do in Killing Floor 3?

As a status effect, it more or less does what the term suggests; enemies inflicted with Enfeeble will deal reduced damage to players. This is great for survivability, as some of the special Zeds (like the Scrake) are tanky and can also deal a lot of damage.

Enfeeble can be dealt using two element types in the latest Killing Floor game: Cold and Biological. Cold is great against Mire-type Zeds but ineffective against Flesh-types. In addition to Enfeeble, Cold can also inflict Freeze on enemies, which stops them in their tracks, temporarily preventing them from attacking and giving players some breathing room.

Biological, on the other hand, is effective against both Mire and Flesh enemies but weak to foes boasting Armor and Zedtech. On top of Enfeeble, Biological also causes the Toxic and Confuse status effects, the former of which deals Biological damage over time while the latter causes enemies to attack their own.

So, while not every element can inflict this effect on Zeds, players can still make the most of it by imbuing the Cold or Biological elements into starter weapons. For example, the Ninja class weilds a katana for melee-range damage, and by attaching Cold to it, players can keep enemy swarms from overwhelming their team by keeping them at bay thanks to Freeze and Enfeeble.

That is all players need to know about the Enfeeble status ailment in Killing Floor 3.
