Mode VS Mode
The VS mode is the most complicated and challenging mode of L4D (kinda dependent on how well your team’s other players are). Fighting against zombies controlled by those who think and create strategies that are coordinated is a lot of enjoyment. It’s even more enjoyable with strategies and tips that can aid you in winning!
Survivors
As a survivor, you play the game where you score all the points. The longer you stay with more players, the better your score will be. To be able to kick a team’s back into the ring, you have to be a strong defender.
Health Medicine – Pills/Med packs
Making sure you are taking care of your health is crucial in the battle. Contrary to the campaign, you do not have to see if black or white mode appears. Especially infected humans aren’t worth taking the risk. If you do make a mistake and die, you will not be able to respawn.
But, the less health is, the more you can recover, and the better you score on your team. It is almost impossible to get better with health that’s either orange or green. If your health is turning red, it is time to take supplements.
Always take your pills prior to consuming using med packs. Pills are easy to locate, and there’s a high chance you’ll discover more and be in a position to keep the med-pack for a bit longer. If you’re suffering from no pills, it’s time to recover. Make sure to inform your team that you’re healing (Don’t wish to be lost in the battle!). Be careful not to heal in the out in the open. Smokers and hunters are attracted by lower-health players who are weaker. If you’re healing, that’s you! Make sure you’re back against an upright position and, if you can, purchase overhead protection to avoid a high damage attack.
Speed
Speed is everything in the world. Being slow reduces the chances of reaching the safe area. Why is this? The players infected are working by spawning timers. Each time you kill them, they’re given a specific time limit before they are able to be respawned. Therefore, the faster you move, the lower number of spawns they receive and the lower chance they’ll be able to cause damage.
There are limitations to speed, however. It’s not recommended to go quickly enough that you are attacked by common infections, and this can make you a victim. Being too fast can be an effective way to be divided. We don’t want one person getting to the safe room, leaving everyone other out in the cold or having the person who has a head start get killed by themselves.
You do not want to be a quick player. You would like to be a quick team! A good voice communication system is the best method to do this. It’s almost impossible to type and work swiftly simultaneously.
Pipe bombs
Speed is crucial. Pipe bombs are fantastic as they help keep your speed up. Contrary to campaign mode, you do not have to keep the equipment you’ve used in earlier maps. It isn’t a good idea to waste valuable items such as pipe bombs when you get to the safe area with the items within your possession.
As I stated before, the best method to utilize pipe is to keep the speed. The most frequent slowdown is a multi-hit boomer vomiting. If two or more people are vomiting, you’ve got a reason to dispose of your pipe. If just one person is injured, try to keep the pipe. It’s fairly easy to help a person who has been raped.
The rooms that are overcrowded are another excellent place to make use of bombs. If you’re unable to clear an area in less than 10 seconds, you can utilize your pipe. The same applies to random hoards. If you’re planning to put pipes to the horse, be sure to start it before. It’s not worth fighting off half of them before deciding to throw away the pipe. If you’re in an accessible location, I’d suggest keeping it.
Molotovs
I prefer molotovs to pipe bombs instead. Pipe bombs can only take care of common infections, which the majority times are unintentional. Molotovs are great for tackling the bigger threat. A tank controlled by a player is the most dangerous adversary to face in Left 4 Dead. However, even the most powerful tanks can still be destroyed.
Molo’s are also able to destroy other infections. But be wary of throwing one at the hunter. Burning hunters do double damage. The other group of people affected individuals slowly burns until their health goes out. I wouldn’t suggest using molotovs in this manner unless you’re inundated with them or are forced to use them. They aren’t attracted by infected people, which means you’ll only be able to eliminate them from a small region.
Infected
It is recommended to test your skills in campaign mode prior to playing a versus game. The number of campaigns you play will not make you feel at risk. It’s fine since I’ve been taken care of by my friend. I’ll figure out the best way to become an infected player.
Teamwork
Teamwork teamwork teamwork. Did you get this? Why can’t I stop talking about teamwork, you ask? I’ll explain the reason! Because you’re not beating opponents without teamwork! If you’ve ever been able to win in a match against your opponent, you’ve utilized teamwork even when it was an accident.
The infected are weak by themselves. Infected people who are weak one at a given time is simple to beat. A lot of players are impatient; Do not be one of them. They instantly appear the moment their timer expires and then throw themselves at their opponents. They don’t care about what players or their own group are doing; they desire to be in action.
The majority of the time, those players are branded as a shithole. Most of the time, they suffer the most deaths and the lowest scores. The infected cannot be able to stand up to a strong survival team on its own, and even the tank requires some help.
Help the tank
As I said, everybody needs assistance, and that includes the tank. Even a skilled tanker is prone to be killed with little or no harm to the survivors. In the event that the tank is expected to cause any significant damage, you need to reduce the odds. The rage meter of his is more than 30 seconds, which means you’re in a position to sit and watch for the majority of your team to be spawned into.
If you’re lucky, you could even play 5 against 4. When the tank first appears, there will be a player who will be informed that they are now it. If you’re spawned into, and you receive this message, the computer will become the common infected, and you play with the tanks. Therefore, if everyone is spawned, you’ll have five special infected players in the game.
One of the most crucial affected for supporting a tank can be the boomer. If you can get a great boom off, it is almost guaranteed victory. The primary target of the boomer should be anyone with Molotov. The scoreboard will reveal if the opposing players are carrying molotovs or pipe bombs. Molos is a normal weapon for a player. Be able to move forward when tanks arrive and will hold it—a perfect opportunity for a boomer to target. If you can keep that person to be occupied by your minion’s other targets will tank food.
Hunters and smokers are also significant supporters. Anyone with molotovs is someone who you must pounce or pull on first. One good way to do this is to take a man on from the front. After that, a boomer will pop out and vomit all over the front-runner and on anyone else who wants to help him, while a smoker carries one of the unbosomed survivors away. The tank will then begin taking care of any debris left in the aftermath.
You are playing in the tank with patience. Do not just rush in simply because you have the 5,000 health. It is quickly depleted with molotovs as well as focus fire. Making the extra second to wait for teammates can make a big difference in tank efficiency.
