Use an adrenaline shot, then use your medikit to heal. This takes a much less time, especially when you are dealing with a horde.

Find a corner, and have a melee weapon equipped. Hold [Melee] while aiming at the approaching zombies. Note: You may get hit a few times.

Use the following tactics to kill special Infected:

Boomer: Shoot at the stomach while staying as far back as possible. Kenapa layanan google play terhenti.

Charger: Get close to it. This will prevent it from charging, and then it can only inflict melee damage. This makes it easier to kill it with any weapon (melee or gun).

Hunter: When it is in its pouncing position, use a shotgun to nudge it away, then shoot it in the face. Alternately, use the shove move while it is jumping at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.

Jockey: Get into a huddle with your teammates, and wait for the Jockey to appear. When you see it, all teammates can shoot the Jockey at the same time. Huddling together will prevent it from launching at you. Alternately, use the shove move while it is launching at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.

Smoker: Use a similar strategy as with the Charger. You must get directly in front of it before killing it. The Smoker uses its tongue to grab survivors from far distances, but it cannot do that when you are very close.

Spitter: Shoot at the head, and be ready to get out of the way when it spits.

Tank: Go to high ground, and shoot at it while dodging it. In Co-op mode, use a grenade launcher for a frontal assault while your teammates fire at its back with shotguns. Alternately, do not try to deal any damage to the Tank, but instead hide somewhere and let the survivor A.I. kill it.

In the bar in the abandoned town, find the jukebox, and play it to hear 'Eat Your Brains' by Jonathan Coulton.

In The Parish: The Park, when you reach the bar with the jukebox inside, keep skipping through the songs to eventually hear the song 'I'm Still Alive' from Portal.

Start a versus match with friends. Play as the Spitter, and have a friend as the Smoker. Have your friend start choking a survivor with the Smoker, then spit on the survivor with the Spitter while the Smoker is choking them to get the 'A Spittle Help From My Friends' achievement.

Play against a friend. Jump on the back of a bot as the Jockey, and have your friend melee you off. Run away to recover. Then, jump on a survivor's back to get the 'Back In The Saddle' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, kill the bots so they do not steal your kills. Then, grab the grenade launcher and a bile bomb. Once the horde starts, throw the bile bomb, and wait for a large number of them to get around it. Then, fire the grenade launcher at the horde around the bile bomb. You should get the 'Dismemberment Plan' achievement as long as their were a large number of zombies standing around the bile bomb.

In Dark Carnival: The Barns, find the strength-testing mini-game in the first area. Inject adrenaline, and hit it with a melee weapon to get the 'Gong Show' achievement.

In Dark Carnival: The Fairgrounds, find the shooting range. Score over 500 points to make a garden gnome appear. Carry the gnome to the end of the level, and board the chopper with it at the end of Dark Carnival: The Concert to get the 'Guardin' Gnome' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Streets, reach the 'Save 4 Less' store where you must get the cola. Kill all the CEDA agents along the way, and collect the vials of Boomer vomit they drop (not all CEDA agents will drop Boomer vomit). If you still need more vials of Boomer vomit once you reach the store, just set off the alarm, and hordes will keep coming with random CEDA agents.

Start a versus match with friends. Play as the Jockey, and have a friend as the Spitter. Then, jump onto a survivor as the Jockey, and steer them into the Spitter's acid to get the 'Rode Hard' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, have a human survivor go up to the top of the stairs, shoot out an area of the glass railing, and jump off so they die. Then, grab the defibrillator, and revive them. Restart the level again, and repeat this until you get the 'Shock Jock' achievement.

In Dark Carnival: The Barns, find the Whack-A-Mole mini-game. Get a score of 42 to get the 'Stache Whacker' achievement.

In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, kill any bots so they cannot revive the human survivor. Grab an adrenaline shot. Then, go up to the top of the stairs, shoot out an area of the glass railing, and have a human survivor fall off where the glass railing was so they are hanging onto the edge. Inject the adrenaline shot, and revive them. Have them fall off the edge again, and revive them again. Repeat this until you get 'The Quick And The Dead' achievement.

In The Parish: The Cemetery, when you reach the impound lot area with all the cars, just use a melee weapon to kill the Infected. The computer players will not set off an alarm. All the red cars have car alarms, so try to stay by the white cars. Once you make it past the area with all the cars without setting off an alarm, you will get the 'Violence In Silence' achievement once you make it to the safe house.

Note: All three other players must be bots for this trick to work. Before the alarm goes off, clear all explosive items and do not use incendiary ammo. Then, crouch in the corner near the exit to the plane so the Infected cannot get you from behind or either side. Once the alarm is sounded and the horde start attacking, throw a Molotov to block the entrance. After that, the computer players should stand in front of you and take the damage. Just stay in the same place the entire time, and you should get the 'Wing And A Prayer' achievement.

I have a proposal. We all have things on our PC the world shouldn’t know about. When the inevitable happens and Death beckons, we all have the our power to help each other out. What I need is someone to sneak into my Steam account (password: abetterpasswordthangaben), load up the Left 4 Dead 2 Workshop, and delete all my subscriptions. If anyone found out what I’ve been doing to Valve’s zombie shooter, why I’d die all over again. I’m happy to do the same for you. Just email me your Steam passwords and I’ll make sure whatever needs doing is done.
L4D2’s workshop is an interesting place. You can add models and sound files that only you can see, and won’t appear to others on the server. Your own, personal apocalypse. But before I get to those terrifying tweaks, there are a few mods that will build a better world’s end.

Things like NeunGUI. It’s a build-your-own HUD, one that simplifies the screen noise with a selection of add-ons. You just subscribe to the main file, and if it doesn’t quite work you can grab some additional tweaks. I added the MinimalPanel, to reduce the survivor bar to a series of icons.

There are a few mods that will change things that other mods rely on. The game will usually inform you of an incompatibility. NeunGUI clashes with the Improved Bots mod, so you’ll have to disable one or the other. Improved Bots gives solo Left 4 Deaders more reliable buddies, as well as enabling them to use melee weapons, open and close doors, and take the lead. It also adds a command wheel. Pet bots! The other way to deal with bots is to just get rid of them, and Lone Survivor mutation means you’ll be the only gun in town. There are no Special Infected to worry about, because they mostly aim to incapacitate you, but there are twice the number of normal zombies. And all they want is love.

“Wait”, you’re probably thinking. “There’s nothing sick and wrong with that! Where’s the filth?” Patience, people. You’re currently at the vegetables of the article. Now it’s time for the meat. We’ll get to Heston’s wobbly desert soon enough. What is the meat of L4D2? Campaigns. The Workshop now has a fair pile of user-created madness for you to explore. Because you’ve been good and ate all your greens, you can have a peek at one of the sillier scenarios. Wan Li is a campaign that starts on a plane. The survivors fight their way through the well-realised cabins (the seats in first class look very comfortable) to grab parachutes for the next sequence. On the Great Wall of China! Weren’t quite ready for that plot twist, were you? How about this? Look down, now look up. You are now on the Titanic!

Custom maps are the best. Yes, they’re slightly unpolished, and you might lose your way when playing those two, but they are interesting attempts at taking Left 4 Dead’s infection to new places. I particularly like the chilly air of China, and the dapper clothes of the Titanic’s passengers. For angry traditionalists, Diescraper is a more traditional Left 4 Dead 2 scenario, sending the survivors spiraling up from the bottom of an infested skyscraper. If you’re scared of heights there’s Blackout Basement. It’s a hefty custom campaign that leads you underneath Philadelphia, where a lot of the time you’re reliant on your flashlights to see. It has a smart addition of optional crescendos, which will allow you to light your way, but the noise and light will bring extra undead.

One of the most atmospheric campaigns is Back to School. It’s huge, taking place over several custom-built locations, and with non-linear routes through the town of Borden. Though the name implies there’s a school, the whole town is present. The cinema is one of the best Left 4 Dead levels I’ve ever played, taking place in the flickering light of a broken projector.

While those campaigns are an attempt to expand Valve’s world, there are others that go further afield. Left 4 Dead is nothing more than a skeleton to prop up some of these radical ideas. The most impressive is this Minecraft inspired collection of weapons, models and maps. It’s a pitch-perfect recreation of the blocky blockbuster, even replacing the special infected with Minecraft equivalents. I love the Enderman Smoker. The snow can be a touch overwhelming at times, but it’s worth experiencing.

Other themes you might like: this mod replaces the common infected with the Xenomorphs from Aliens, while this mod imports the M41A pulse rifle into the game, the only gun certified for killing Giger’s ghouls. If you’re a Star Wars fan, you can swap out the infected for either the Droids from Star Wars Eps 1-3 (boo), or the Storm Troopers from Eps 4-6 (yay!). I’m sure Disney won’t mind. After all, they hired JJ Abrams and he’s a friend of Valve. Hell, it was probably him that made this light saber mod. There are no Lucas-troubling maps up on the Steam Workshop, but White Hole, an Aperture Science inspired UFO map, has the cold aesthetics of sci-fi movie. It’s also great fun in its own right.

The Workshop is also strewn with oddities. Mods that only make sense if you have a fetish. Like Funky FX, the mod that adds colourful trails and comic words to your attacks. I can at least understand the drive for making the game a bit sillier, which Funky FX does with aplomb. But there’s no call to turn the Tank into Donkey Kong. Even if the animation is perfect, and the concrete is replaced with a barrel. Does it make you feel strange? That idea you might be playing a game of Left 4 Dead 2 and while you’re seeing a Tank, another player is seeing Nintendo’s aggressive gorilla? If so, then don’t click this Stay Puft Tank replacement. Don’t even think about – you thought about it, didn’t you? RAY!

But we can go deeper. If you’re willing to modify the special infected to your own sick ends, you’re probably willing to do it to yourself. The Velociraptors mod replaces the survivor character models with gorgeous dinosaurs. The detail is stunning: the way they hold the weapons is particularly pleasing, and just as Spielberg has shown, the damn things can use door handles. They’re a lot more pleasing to look at than the crippled GLaDOS thing in this Portal 2 survivor mod. She’s still alive, but she’s probably in hideous pain.

Are you full, yet? How about a wafer-thin mint? There are music mods that change the cues of special infected events. You know that dramatic music that pops up? This mod turns the Witch’s piano plinks into Whitney Houston. It gets worse. So much worse. Deep down in my hard-drive is a mod that takes the Boomer notification noise and replaces it with “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom” by the Vengaboys. So help me that makes some sort sick, twisted sense. I think I’ve gone too far.
