Tactics for Surviving the Worst of L4D

13 April, 2009 - FoxyLady | 0 Comments

Boomer rush: When the Boomer vomits or explodes onto a teammate, they should remove themselves from the group; the less surroundable of a position, the better. While the rush occurs, they should melee as many times as they possibly can, and the remainder of the party should pick off the ones in the back, and work their way forward to the straggler. If more than 1 of the team has been covered in bile, the clean survivors should begin meleefire (Melee, shoot; melee, shoot; repeat) to take out as many as possible.

Tank: For the love of god, turn around and RUN when it's after you; don't walk backwards while shooting at him if he's extremely close, he'll outrun your backwards trotting or you'll walk into an obstacle. Instead, run full steam away from him so your teammates can hit him. To relieve the beating a teammate is having, you can melee the tank to aggravate him. Be aware, however, that he will very likely turn around and put you to the ground if you are not quick enough to run away afterwards.

Witch: Surround her in a firing-line-esque style. Aim for the head and take her out before she can do anything about it, if possible. Most annoying boss to take on if you get caught alone with her, not including the tank.

Conservation tips:
Don't waste pipebombs just because there are a lot of zombies, especially if you are playing on expert! If the situation is controllable, save the pipebomb for distraction or panic situations. For example, pipebombs can make the car alarm of the first level very easy to remedy if you happen to have one, and have your team rush to the basement door.

Don't waste molotovs, either, if you can help it. Again, if the situation is controllable, don't toss one just because! Make sure you always have one in your team, because a tank could be in store for your team, and they are indeed the easiest way to relieve the stress of that hulking death.

Watch your ammo, as it is very annoying to run out of ammo in the middle of a horde attack. While you may have a ton of ammo in most cases, that one time when you run out of ammo when fighting a tank is NOT cool. For smaller engagements, I encourage the use of the pistol. As soon as the heat turns up, however, be sure to flip to your primary weapon as soon as possible.

Last-Chance: When you've been incapacitated by the horde, blast away! Aim towards the head-chest area and let 'er rip. Be extremely wary of teammates coming for you, however, as it isn't very good to incapacitate the only teammate left when you're near the end of a level.

F.A.Q. : When is a survivor's outline visible to infecteds?

A survivor's outline becomes visible by:

Running around. This is basically normal was movement.
Melee attacks. Swinging your gun around makes you visible
Firing. Any weapon. This includes the mounted minigun. Firing any weapon causes you to be visible.
Starting a grenade throw. You become visible as soon as you press the fire button. But, whether you throw it immediately, or hold your arm back keeping it ready to throw, you do not become visible again from a grenade. Even when you release it.
Boomer bile. Having bile on you turns your outline purple, and makes it completely visible to all infected, regardless of what you do. You can't hide until the effect wears off.
Taking damage. Whenever you take damage from anything, your outline briefly flashes visible. Note that it's the damage, not the hit that causes it. A distinction few will care about, but it doesn't happen if god mode is turned on.
Voice commands. When your character speaks, you temporarily flash visible. This includes using any of the rosetta commands, and "vocalize" commands in the console. It also applies to things your character says automatically in various situations.
Voice Chat. While you are transmitting voice chat, you temporarily become visible.
Shouting while incapped. Although being incapped on it's own, doesn't make you visible. Your survivor will shout for help every few seconds while they're down, and that DOES make them visible.
Helping someone up. You flash visible briefly when you start to help up an incapped survivor. It fades before you finish helping them though.
Using pills. Self explanatory.
Smoker/hunter attack. When you're pinned, or tongued, you become visible until freed.
Climbing a ladder. Moving up or down a ladder can reveal you.

A survivor's outline does NOT become visible by:

The Flashlight! Whether it's on or not is irrelevant. The flashlight does NOT affect the visibility of your outline. Given that, there's pretty much no reason to ever turn it off.
Walking. If you hold shift while moving, you walk instead of running. This is slower, of course. But your outline remains invisible while you walk. Good if you want to reverse an ambush by sneaking up on a hunter.
Crouch walking. Moving while holding crouch (ctrl) is exactly like walking. Holding the walk key while crouched does nothing.
Releasing a grenade throw that you had ready. This is covered above.
Reloading your weapon. Doesn't make you visible, but sometimes your survivor will shout "reloading!" and voice clips do make you visible, so beware of that.
Healing. As with reloading, using a medkit itself doesn't highlight you, with the caveat that the voice clips can.
Aiming. Didn't really need to be said, but mouselooking around doesn't highlight you. This includes when you're manning the mingun. you're only visible when you fire it.
Jumping. The act of jumping itself does not make the survivor's outline visible, but if the survivor jumps while running the outline will stay visible.
Being seen. The outline is completely independant of actual visibility. A survivor can be standing right in front of you, and their outline still invisible if they're not doing anything to cause it. Likewise, other infected seeing them doesn't affect it.
