The Killing Floor 2 ARG/puzzle chain, also known as From a Friend, began on April 21, 2017. As of yet, it is unclear what these puzzles are leading towards.

Initial Announcement

On April 21, 2017, a Steam announcement was made by Tripwire Interactive:

L krsh wklv phvvdjh pdnhv lw rxw! Kruclqh lv xs wr qr jrrg dqg wkh zruog qhhgv wr nqrz! Zlwk dqb oxfn brx'oo ghflskhu wklv dqg ilqg wkh foxhv L'oo eh ohdylqj. Brx duh wkh rqob krsh zh kdyh wr vwrs wklv ehiruh lw lv wrr odwh!

Using ROT23 for the first part, and ROT20 for the filename at the end, this ciphertext was decoded to:

I hope this message makes it out! Horzine is up to no good and the world needs to know! With any luck you'll decipher this and find the clues I'll be leaving. You are the only hope we have to stop this before it is too late!

The decoded ciphertext led us to http://media.tripwirecdn.com/fromafriend/thestart.png, which hosts the following image:

Atlassian

On May 4, 2017, a Double XP and Drop Weekend! was announced by Tripwire Interactive which also included a Cipher:

ah?mIoehseuktene osn e tg t okartih!yrCdhoo ge ne elcp

The Cipher was later revealed using an unspecified script:

Is there anyone out there looking? Check the mod pages!

Clues were then discovered on Tripwire's Atlassian page, which lead detectives to this image. Modifying color levels of the image reveals the puzzle piece down below. This piece will appear differently depending on how it was extracted.
