Hey its border, one tip for defeating the horde is quite simple. If you are outnumberd run into a corner or some place were you can have zombies coming in at you in one direction.When they get in your face simply beat down with your main gun then switch to your pistol and beat down then switch back to your main gun and repeat. It keeps the zombies from doing more damage than just beating down with one weapon. Keep doing this until they are all dead or until you are good and ready to stop. Thanks and good luck!
Hey podtac, it is I, Longrange950 returning from a bunch load of test to tell you about an awsome thing that happened to me while playing infected in l4d.Ok here is how it went down, I was a smoker hiding in a bush on death toll and somehow, all of my other team mates were hunters. So we devised a plan to get all of the survivors which were near the long bridge. I was told to smoke Zoey since she was limping, so when the whole other team came for her, the hunters all pounced on the survivors at once! That was pretty funny cause everyone was yellow and they all had a health pack. We later on got a tank against us and killed it within like 1 or to seconds since we all found tier 2 weapons and decided to take auto shotties.So there is my little tale from L4D. Keep on fraggin my friend Fr3ak1zGod1y for beating me in gamerscore. >:)
Whats up Podtacular?! Ever since the show came back on, I’ve been trying to get back into it, and I think I have some handy tips for Left 4 Dead. In the Death Toll campaign, the easiest way to survive at the very end, I find, is to get all the supplies you need from the house, have 3 people run over to the dock where the boat comes to get you. Have 1 person back at the house activate the radio and run over to the dock. I would recommend having 2 people with an Assault Rifle and 2 people with the Auto-Shotty. Then just sit there, and unload on the Horde, and don’t worry about Tanks, especially on the hardest difficulty, because you can take him down FAST if everyone shoots him. Shout-out to Lancelot for helping me out with getting my podcast started, and prepared! P.S. I have plenty of tips for lots of games, so expect much more from me!

Hey guys its EliteSpartan182 again to help you out on one of he hardest achivements in the game.Man vs Tank (30Gs) – Load up the last chapter of the Death Toll campaign on Expert. Clear the immediate surroundings (making sure you have enough health to continue) Before you continue down the street and through the house into the grassy area (where the tank will meet you) -kill all other survivors. Make sure you have dispatched of all special infected first as this will cause you problems later on. Switch the difficulty to normal and continue westwards after you come out the garage – up the street and through the house. Grab the pain pills in the house. Upon entering the grassy area a tank should spawn. While keeping a safe distance from it – strafe around it using the whole open area firing shots at its head. You will take a few hits – be sure to use your pain pills. Soon the tank will die and you will be 30GS richer. Good luck with the show and keep on fraggin the retards who bought things that do stuff.
Hey Podtacular, Chicky here with some crazy, pwnage stories. First of all, I want to say these maps will become available for versus soon(21st April). OK, we made a dash to the safe house with the crazy guy who is uber retarded, wouldn’t let us in, since we were on expert, at the end all of us died accept me, and we had done it! Nothing could stop us, We were the best! But oh no, we had to find out that the crazy guy had turn into a smoker. Long story short, our team lost, epic fail.
Keep on fraggin’ digimons.

While I’m hardly an expert on the game, I’ve given it a fair amount of playtime since it’s release and can provide some useful advice.
I’m not sure how much of it is obvious to other players or has already been submitted, so forgive me if there’s nothing here you havn’t already heard.
Sticking Together:
It goes without saying, even though I just said it, sticking together as a team is essential in Left 4 Dead. That said, it can be remarkably easy to get left behind, or leave someone behind whens surrounded by zombies. To avoid being devided and conquered, consider the following:
-Communication: Always be in communication, and always give your location. If you fall behind, someone gets too far ahead, duck into a closet to get pipe-bomb, say so!
-Line of Sight: As much as possible, always be within line of sight of your team, or at least a member of your team who in turn can see the others.
-Leave no man behind: It’s easy to forget that injured party members move slower then the rest. If a party member is injured, take care not to leave them behind. Not only may they become easy pray, but you might just need their help if you get to far ahead.
-Regarding Exploring: Exploring the world around you, in most games, is usually a well rewarded endeavor. In L4D, however, it is at best a double edged sword. The cost of splitting up your group or getting bogged down in unnecessary fights can outweigh the benefits of what you might find. This is especially true for Versus.
-A medpack in hand: Be careful spending too much time looking for items. The more time spent in one place, the more health and ammo you will lose fighting monsters without gaining ground. By the time you find that extra medpack, you might have used up two you already had!
-This is not Night of the Living Dead: It may often seem tempting to just hole up in one spot until the ideal moment when all the zombies are dead (or respawning). However, like I said above, time spent in one spot is ammo and health lost. If not boomed on or mobbed by the horde (or, obviously, at the finale), it’s best to keep moving.
Anti-Tank: The tank is a big scary mo-fo, but he does have one crucial weakness: Speed. In most situations, the tank is slower and harder to control then a healthy survivor. When fighting the tank, spread out (but maintain sight-range) in an open space or long corridor and outmaneuver the tank. If necessary, use pipe-bombs to clear out zombies that might slow you down and make you vulnerable.
To hoard is to waste: While it’s good to show caution with your munitions, don’t hoard everything. Many times I’ve saved a molotov through an entire act, at the expense of health and ammo, only to find a dozen more. At the end of the day, it’s better to be alive without your stuff, then be a fully prepared corpse.
REGARDING VERSUS MODE INFECTED
As the game sees more and more use, players are constantly developing new strategies and means of survival, and getting better at the game. Similiarily, the tactics of those playing infected must too evolve to keep up. Put simply, attacking the first survivor you see will avail you nothing, and team-work is just as important to the infected as the survivors.
-Patience!!!: A good hunter (like, actual hunters) waits for the opportune moment to strike, stalking his/her prey until they know they can get a killing shot. Wait, watch, and consider your enemy and what your allies are doing, and go for maximum damage.
Boomers and Smokers are key: There’s a reason there are more hunters then anything else, it’s because, on it’s own, the hunter is the least useful infected. Assuming the human team is any good, a lone hunter will almost always be shot as soon as it attacks. Remember patience, and wait for a boomer or smoker to blind or split up the team, then attack whoever is still standing!
It’s a Trap!: A great tactic to use (or be wary of) is the setting of traps. A hunter or a smoker can pounce or drag a member of the team away from he rest of the group. Wherever the poor victim ends up, other monsters will hide and then attack anyone who comes to rescue.
With a little help from my friends:
The Tank is a powerful guy, but left alone with a half-decent human team and he will be outmaneuvered and slaughtered. It’s critical that when the tank attacks, other special infected are there to deal with survivors who outrun, or get out of reach of the tank.
Communicate and co-ordinate!: Communication is critical for the infected as it is for the survivors. Plan together, and make each other aware of your moves. If you smoke a survivor, ask a hunter to pounce whoever comes to the rescue, etc…
Think outside the box!: As people play the game more and more, they fall into certain routines and plans. For example, at the beginning of the subway level on No Mercy, it’s always a given that a smoker will be up above the Safe Room exit, and boomer and hunters waiting below. And it’s always a given that the humans will rush out the door as a group and gather downstairs, leaving the infected behind them.
While these plans become popular because they are successful, thinking outside the box and making unexpected moves can throw even the best plans awry. Be creative!
Yes Mercy: While quitting out of a game because you are losing is, well, annoying and sad, there are legitimate reasons for leaving a game. Social engagements, dinner, network problems, earthquake; many things can result in one team losing members. In situations like this, it can be tempting for the remaing member(s) of the team to leave as well, knowing that they will lose horribly otherwise.
In these situations, for the sake of fair competition as well as not losing the server because everyone quit, show some mercy. If playing survivors, wait in the saferoom, or some other secure place until some more infected join up to even up the game. On the other end of the spectrum, while the AI humans are decent shots, they are no match for human players, and often fail to move or act when a human is taking control of them. In this situations, too, it’s okay to show a bit of mercy, if for no other reason then to preserve the fun of the game for the other team, and keep them from quitting out in frustration.
...Of course, I just mean a bit of mercy. I’m hardly recommending surrendering the game or anything, haha.
Anyways, I guess that’s all for now. Remember kids, stay sharp, think fast, and work together, and you might not be LEFT 4 DEAD.
...hah…I’m (p)unny….
This is pk(account is a really long story) and this is my first submission.
My tip is on how to avoid witches. the best way to avoid witches(and any other zombies) is to just run around with you flashlight off,and only turn it on when you are going into a room that you think is empty and you just want to see if there is any one in it. That’s all for now and keep on fraging noobs who complain about getting killed.
Hey, wazzzzupp!!!??? Podtacular this is the one, the only ninja with a plan, Ninjaman. Death Toll is probably my least favorite campaign, besides Blood Harvest, because of all the open areas. But, I do like the finale. Anyways, onto the story. I was playing with a couple friends of mine on expert (I know I’m so pro) and we had been doing alright…. until the 3rd chapter….. there was 5 tanks (no joke) and we barely killed them all. Usually, at least one of us would die each time, and the others would be badly wounded. Also, there was like 30 bogillion witches. Needless to say we lost. =( But, we did have lots of fun while we died over and over and over and over and over and over again. (we restarted 7 times just that chapter!) Anyways, keep the show going, doing a great job. Also shout outs to Uzimaki15, Elitespartan182, Wipacer, and ChuckieJ. Keep on fraggin’ truckzorzz. This is the ninja with a plan disappearing into the mist.
Well, Powersurge47 here, otherwise known as ShamefulMatrix…
Anyways, I’m a long time listener (130) and 1st time submitter.
Since Death Toll is a very dark campaign, I have some tips on increasing the death toll for the other team.
If playing versus mode as the infected, stay in the shadows…and maybe as a pack. The boomer and tank should stay together, and the hunter and smoker should stay together as well. Don’t try to spread out against all the survivors, because 1 on 1, your dead meat…again. Take out the survivors 1 by 1. Some combos to do is that the boomer can shoot some bile out on it’s prey, then the tank can come barging in and destroy the people in the room who got biled on.
If playing as the survivors, stick together. If 1 person, even dares to “scout it out” they will be eaten. All I can say is STICK TOGETHER.
Well, that’s all I have Podtacular.
And now for the incredibly long ending.
Keep on fraggin’ trucks that ram over midgets that are hunting down Nene because he is trying to find the elusive set of Chuck Norris anus armor, while fighting through hordes of yodeling manatees that constantly scream out saying from Halo 3 IRL, and little kids who try to make maps without spawn points while trying to eat mutant zombie pizza that rides on folding bikes and right into a well, where there are man eating hunters that spam Steam invites on their zombie infected laptop.
THE END! =D
P.S. – Lancelot = Sexeh voice DustStorm = Meh.
I want to say great job on the podcast keep fraging hobbos that keep jacking your trucks

“Onya mate! Ya broke the bloody egg-nishner, now ma nuts are freezin off!”
“Aw, fair-dinkum, ya dog just carked it, what the bloody hell was he doin under the four-bi-four?!”
Egg-nishner = Air Conditioner
Four-bi-four = Pronounced “Four bee Four” AKA Four Wheel Drive
Carked it = Died
Fair-Dinkum = Hard to explain but I’d say it’d be like saying “Far-out” or “You for real?”
