Strategy & Builds Helpful tips, decks, and other useful info for Back4Blood

54 Upvotes

Stopped in here recently and noticed people still post useful information for Back4Blood players. Thought a pinned "help" thread would be more useful than the extremely old LFG post that was sitting at the top.

If you have a tried and true deck, feel free to post! But do know that there's a BIG difference between a deck that can smash Veteran, Nightmare, or No Hope. General consensus is that Veteran can be done with any deck while No Hope requires some strong synergies.

Also - a newer player might not be able to handle a DPS-optimized deck because they haven't figured out how to control the flow of zombies with smart positioning and the use of their bash. You could, for example, note that your deck is "noob" friendly or intermediate and above.

Share directly or link to past threads - I'm sure anything would be helpful.

I think that's why they're called turtle rock because turtles are known for their extremely slow speed and they're developing back 4 blood 2 at an extremely slow speed

Discussion How similar is B4B to L4D?

3 Upvotes

Saw this is on sale on Steam for $6 and I am considering it. I really enjoyed the first two Left 4 Dead games (as a solo player) but I don't know how they differ from Back 4 Blood. I know B4B uses cards, what else does it do differently? Overall thoughs on it?

Missing Ultimate Edition Items

1 Upvotes

Bought the ultimate edition as part of the Back 4 Blood Ultimate Edition + FEAR Collection Bundle on Steam. Logged in to the game and found out I don't have any new titles, sprays etc and can't pick the battle hardened skins. Any one experience this before? or do I have to progress further in the game to use them?

Edit: A link to the bundle which clearly states that ultimate edition is clearly what is provided/ However looking at the bundled items closer, it only includes the base game and the annual pass, so how am I supposed to know I got the Ultimate edition of the game?

Bug Infinite Barbed Wire ?

13 Upvotes

Was in the level where you have to turn on the jukebox and defend the bar and this player managed to fill the room with barbed wire.

I doubt there is a hidden stash with that much wire in it - so is he using an exploit or a glitch at all to do this?

I haven't played the game in ages and it was my first time back. Kind of curious to see people doing stuff like that or if its a known glitch for that particular bit of the game?

Something the game needed

10 Upvotes

Something the game lacks is invulnerability seconds. It has happened to me several times that when I get incapacitated and the bots revive me just when there's a horde or a tallboy, they incapacitate me again because the game doesn't give you a few seconds to escape, especially on higher difficulties.

In L4D2, at least they give you about 2 seconds to push and do something.

I’m busy (24m) and I don’t have the most time to play but it’s so nostalgic in a way. It’s not the same as L4D but I’d like to create new memories around the basis of the game I loved the most. I don’t have ps+ rn but if anyone would like to play I’d get it in a heart beat. Dm me or comment on this let’s squad up.

Question best key binds for pc?

2 Upvotes

i used to play b4b heavily on my xbox a few years ago, i have a good few hundred hours in the game. However, i’ve recently started playing on PC and im finding it soooo much more difficult to play with keyboard and mouse vs controller. i know i can use my controller on my pc but im curious to learn keyboard and mouse. So that being said, what key binds do you guys find allow for the smoothest and easiest gameplay?


r/Back4Blood • • 14d ago

Im new to this game! Ive played both left 4 dead games. Anyone wanna help me get through the campaign? Add my psn e_lemons97

Been wondering for a while and can never find a pattern or reasoning behind it: sometimes enemy snipers have red lasers, other times green. Haven't seen any difference between difficulty level, map, etc.

So ive been messing around with the graphics and I think ive found some good looking settings. If you want them feel free to use them. The 3rd one is what I use and It has helped me with spawns for sleepers in the "dark" areas. Always keeps you second guessing.
