In Killing Floor 2, XP (experience points) are earned by killing enemies, completing objectives, and assisting teammates, which contribute to leveling up your selected class (perk). As you level up, you unlock new abilities and bonuses specific to your perk, making you more effective in combat. XP progression encourages players to specialize in particular roles, enhancing team strategy and gameplay.
