PainKillerExtractor (PainKiller Game Resource Extractor)

Painkiller (2004) PAK file extractor by Andrew Frolov

It is a small .exe binary along with the source code to build it.

How to use

Be sure to place PainKillerExtractor.exe with the file you want to extract in a separate folder so that the extraction will not mess the files in your current folder.

• Unpacking by drag-and-drop

  You can simply drag and drop the .pak or .pkm archive to this application (drag the .pak archive with the mouse cursor to the .exe file) and it will unpack the resources automatically.

  

• Unpacking via CLI

  .\PainKillerExtractor.exe PKPlus.pak
  

Issues

This tool is not suitable for level archives and system scripts. It may not correctly unpack some files.

Alternatively, use Painfull Extractor or Dragon UnPACKer.

Additional extractor tool

pak2zip.exe is an additional tool to extract .pak resources from Painkiller Exclusive Retail Demo (alpha version of Painkiller).
