Infected strategies: Kill the following special infected by using the corresponding strategies:BoomerShoot it in the stomach while keeping your distance.ChargerGet close to it to prevent it from charging, and then it will only be able to inflict one melee damage.HunterWhen it is in its pouncing position, use a shotgun to push it back, then shoot it in the head.JockeyGet into a huddle with your teammates to prevent it from launching at you, and wait for it to appear. Have all teammates shoot the Jockey at the same time.SmokerGet close to it to prevent it from using its tongue to grab survivors from far distances.SpitterShoot at the head, and dodge when it spits.TankGo to higher 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.
Quick healing: To quickly heal yourself, use an adrenaline shot and then use your medkit.”Eat Your
Brains” song: To play the song “Eat Your Brains” in Swamp Fever – Level 1, go to the bar in the abandoned town.
It can be played on the Jukebox.
Jump kills: You can kill zombies by jumping on them. When on a high ledge (any high point where you can jump over Infected) and there are infected below you, drop down on top of them and they will die.
Survive giant swarms: Find a corner and have a melee weapon equipped.
Hold RB and aim at approaching zombies.
Note: You may get hit a few times.
Easy win at drawbridge horde glitch on “Swamp
Fever: Shanty
Town”: When you get to the part of the small drawbridge and you start lowering it, walk on it anyways. The bridge will stop lowering. It does so every time you step on it. Wait until the bridge is slanted perfectly with the roof of the building overhead so that it acts as a ramp. Once so, you can now cross and can get on top of this roof. The zombies approach from only the corner of the building, allowing you to pick each one off. This is a better way to conserve health at this point.
Move backwards off map glitch: Grab a gas tank and any gun besides a grenade launcher. Go to a ledge that is high up, such as the heli-pad in the bridge finale of The Parish. Stand about five feet away from the gas tank. Shoot it and immediately tap Y rapidly. You should be moving slowly backwards non-stop. Not even leaving the map will stop you.
Weapon descriptions on “Dead
Center: Level 2″:Enter the gun shop to get a detailed description of all weapons (except for the grenade launcher).
Hunters or
Jockeys strategy: Use the shove move on a Hunter while he is jumping at you to push him back, thus preventing him from landing on you. Doing this for the Jockey works as well, but does not work for a Charger who is running, a Witch, or Tank.”Gong
Show” achievement hint: On level 4 of the Dark Carnival chapter, find the strength-testing game in the first area. Inject adrenaline and hit it with a melee weapon to unlock the achievement.”Guardin’
Gnome” achievement hint: On level 2 of the Dark Carnival chapter, find the shooting range and score over 500 points to make a garden gnome appear. Carry the gnome to the end of the level and board the chopper.”Stache
Whacker” achievement hint: On level 4 of the Dark Carnival chapter, find the Whack-A-Mole type arcade game. Attack it with a melee weapon and destroy it.”The Quick And The
Dead” achievement hint: Adrenaline shots can be found on any level. To unlock the achievement, use an adrenaline shot and immediately revive a teammate 10 times. You can do this in certain safehouses in single player. Find a safehouse, like the first one in the Parish at the end of Act 1, and incapacitate your teammates by shooting? them. Then, use a shot and quickly revive all three of them. Grab another shot and repeat this process a couple times.
Portal easter egg: On the second level of “The Parish” chapter, when you reach the bar with the jukebox inside, keep skipping through the songs to eventually play the song “I’m Still Alive” from Portal.”Crass
Menagerie” achievement hint: While in the saferoom, exit it then go back inside and close the door. Stay in front of the door so that CPU players will not open it. Wait there. Eventually, uncommon Infected will spawn and come to the door for you to kill.
Shortcut on “No
Mercy: Chapter 1”:When starting, jump to the edge directly next to you. Follow it to the corner, press LB, then hold A. You should be still in a crouch. Little by little, walk up off the corner until you fall. Quickly hold BACK and you should land on the pipe with no damage.
The
Passing: Dead
Rising easter egg: On part 2 “Underground”, enter the bar underground and go inside the room with writing on the walls. Look to the left to see the words “out of film no helicopter zombies are too fast not going to make it Frank West” written.
The
Passing: Midnight
Riders easter egg: After exiting the pool room in part 2 “Underground”, go outside and immediately run to the fence in front of the road. You can see the Midnight Riders tour bus drive past.
