Inject some adrenaline and nail the red button with a melee weapon to get the Gong Show Achievement (be "stronger than Moustachio"). Note: Will summon infected! Stache Whacker Achievement: --------------------------- In part 4 of Dark Carnival, look for well-lit Whac-A-Mole-like arcade game near the start. Activate the button on the front of it and attack the Moustachios that pop up with a melee weapon. At a score of 46, the game will break -- you may need to continue a few times. When it breaks, you'll get the Stache Wacker Achievement (be "faster than Moustachio"). Also, the game will attract zombies. Guardin' Gnome Achievement: --------------------------- In part 2 of Dark Carnival you'll come across a well-lit shooting range with carnival mascot Moustachio emblazoned on it. Also note the yard gnome in the box -- your prize for getting 750 points. Get this high score by activating the game (via the red button) and shooting everyone but the blue peanut (you'll lose points if you hit this target!). Hit the yellow and green Moustachio target for extra points. The gnome (which you may recognize from Half-Life 2 Episode 2) will be released if you get a high score and so will scores of infected, so beware!. Carry the gnome all the way to the end of the scenario (board the chopper) to unlock the Guardin' Gnome Achievement. You can drop Gnome Chompsky and pick it back up. You can also drop it in a safe room and it will be there after the break. Finally, you can use the gnome to repel zombies as you would with a weapon. Weapon Descriptions: -------------------- Check the gunshop in Dead Center (first episode, second map) for an accurate description of every firearm in the game (except the grenade launcher). Portal reference: ----------------- In the second level of "The Parish" chapter, when you get to the bar with the jukebox inside, keep skipping through the songs. It will eventually play the song "I'm Still Alive" from Portal. 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. Easy "Crass Menagerie" achievement: ----------------------------------- When in the saferoom, exit it then go back inside and close the door. Remain in front of the door so that CPU players will not open it. Wait there. Soon, uncommon Infected will spawn and come to the door for you to kill. Easy The Quick And The Dead Achievement: ---------------------------------------- Adrenaline shots can be found on any level. Use an adrenaline shot then quickly revive a teammate 10 times for this Achievement. 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 shoot your teammates until they are incapacitated. Use a shot, then quickly revive all three of them. Grab another shot and repeat this process a few times to get the Achievement. Dead Center: Level 2: Weapon descriptions: ------------------------------------------ Enter the gun shop to get a detailed description of all weapons, except for the grenade launcher. Get on top of a sign: --------------------- Once you are off the boat head up the ramp and you'll see a barricade with barbed-wire at the top. Jump up on top of that and you'll see a gib sign right behind you. Face away from the sign looking down at the water, jump forward just a little bit and it will force you to hang from the sign instead of the barricade over top of the water. Someone will help you up and you will be on top of the sign. Defeating Infected: ------------------- Use the following tactics to kill playable and special Infected. -=Playable Infected=- * Charger: Get close to it. This will prevent it from charging and it can only inflict melee damage. This makes it easier for you to kill it with any weapon (melee and guns alike). * Jockey: Get into a huddle with your teammates and wait for the Jockey to present itself. When you see it, all teammates can fire on the Jockey at the same time. Huddling together will prevent it from launching at you. * Smoker: Use similar strategy as the Charger. You must get directly in front of it before disposing it. Smokers use their tongues to grab survivors from far distances but it cannot do that when you are in its face. -=Special Infected=- * Hunter: When it is in its pouncing position, use a shotgun to nudge it away, then shoot it in the face. * Boomer: Aim for the stomach and stay as far back as possible. * Spitter: Aim for the head and be ready to leap out of the way. * Tank: Get to high ground and shoot it out. In co-op mode, use a grenade launcher for a frontal assault while your teammates fire at its back with shotguns. An alternate method is to deal no damage to the Tank, but instead hide somewhere and let the survivor A.I. deal with it. Getting Katana in L4D2: ----------------------- Submitted by: StefanMajonez Open console (you must have sv_cheats set to 1) and type in : give katana Defeating Hunters or Jockeys: ----------------------------- Use the shove move on a Hunter while he is jumping at you to force him to stumble back, therefore preventing him from landing on you. Doing this for the Jockey works as well. However it does not work for a Charger who is running, a Witch, or Tank. Gnome Chomsky: -------------- In the second chapter of the Dark Carnival campaign you will find a shooting range. Play this game until you score 750 points and you will receive Gnome Chomsky. Have one survivor escape the rest of the campaign with him to unlock the Achievement. Going for gold over a Wall: --------------------------- Get 1 guy with a nade launcher to crouch down next to a wall with level ground on the other side, and have another guy jump off something onto the head of the crouched nader. While the jumper is in mid air fire the nade. time it right and the jumper will be sent flying into the air, if controlled correctly the jumper can land just on the other side of a wall and be defibbed. The jumper should then run to the far side of the map, and the rest of the team can start the match. The jumper being so far away from the spawns should receive little attention from hordes. Go for the Gold. Example location: Parish, bridge..... On the Highway facing the Bridge there is a fence. Have 1 guy jump off from the green canopy. Hunter/Jocley/Smoker easy kill: ------------------------------- Submitted by: a Friend of Ours Email: annoyingkid97@hotmail.com (For Hunters and Jockeys) let them just at you, then the second the land, run up in front of them, and they will simply slaw you so you dont get jockeyed/pounced (Smoker) when you see a smoker, try to get near a corner, and when he is about to snag you, duck behind the corner, count to 3 then run out and shoot him(doesnt always work, but almost ALWAYS works for me) No Mercy: Chapter 1 shortcut: ----------------------------- At the start, 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. Immediately hold Back and you should land on the pipe with no damage. Removing the character you want: -------------------------------- Submitted by: redwolf For removing each character you want,after you turned sv_cheats to (1) in developers console, enter the word "kick" and after that,name of the character.For example for removing "Nick" you should write "kick Nick" and "Nick" will be removed:-) How to get to the saferoom in bus depot survival/campaignl: ----------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by: Roi_Pogi When your there start ny looking at the pay phone there u will see three little boxes i dont know wut its called you must have a vomit jar unless this trick wont work so all u need to do is throw the vomit jar in front of the cr and when there are zombies there jump onto their heads and jump onto the cr and then jump through the fence and walk to the saferoom and ur done :D XD B-) Spawns a zombie: ---------------- Submitted by: max go to options and click on it well say console click yes now push` and tipe in map_mapname the map well begin now tipe in sv_cheats 1 then to spawn a zombie tipe z_spawn Defeating Hunters or Jockeys: ----------------------------- Use the shove move on a Hunter while he is jumping at you to force him to stumble back, therefore preventing him from landing on you. Doing this for the Jockey works as well. However it does not work for a Charger who is running, a Witch, or Tank. Gun Shop: --------- Submitted by: Alexa In Chapter 1 stage 2. look for the gun shop. in 75% way of stage 2.find a sign in some buildings that write "Whitaker gun shop".find your weapon that you like to take.(Except Upgrade pack, Adrenalin, MP5, AWM, Scout, Melee Weapons). Killing Hunter with easy way: ----------------------------- Submitted by: Alexander Cia Email: warasa@yahoo.com When you look a Hunter, just wait until he pounces your AI bot. Shot him with shotgun or sniper. When you use sniper, aim to the head. and you can say "I killed a Hunter!" Melee Cheats(just a bit): ------------------------- Submitted by: Alexander Cia first,open your Left 4 Dead 2 and enabled allow developer console and play a map.once your play the map open the console and these are following the melee cheats: sv_cheats 1 Code Effect ----------------------------- -melee_range # sets melee range -melee_force_scalar # sets melee force scalar -melee_show_swing 1 shows where you attack with melee weapons Note:# symbol means your number whatever you want. Don't tease them: ----------------- A lot of people are under the impression that it's fun to stay in the safe-rooms for a long time, but aside from annoying everybody else in the game there is another con. Sometimes when you get to close to the door to shoot Infected through the bars it can occur that the Special Infected receive permission to spawn. The fact that Survivors are the ones that start the game by leaving the safe-room is a major advantage, but when the other team has already spawned they can set up traps, knowing that your team is already cornered in the room. Moving Things: -------------- You can move things like dumpster(but not buildings). If you have a (gas can/propane tank/ oxygen tank) bring it near an object like dumpster. Then, throw it(make sure the dumpster infront of you before you throw it) and make sure it hits the dumpster. Then quickly grab it and throw it again. Throw it, grab it, throw it, grab it, throw it, grab it, throw it, grab it. It can move the dumpster! You can use this trick to close the sewer hole to prevent zombies from climbing up. Figure the another benefit's out by yourselves, ok? Cheat Codes: ------------ At the Steam control panel, Right Click the "Left 4 Dead 2" option, and select "Properties" under the "My Games" tab.
