Learn how to play as the Infected in Left 4 Dead 2 Versus mode. Prioritize weaker Survivors and coordinate attacks.
Walkthrough

- 4Try working together with other Infected.
- 5Lure Survivors to Alarm Cars (vehicles that trigger a loud alarm when disturbed) and Witches (powerful, rare Infected).
- 6If Survivors enter an area they cannot easily retreat from (like through holes), attack the last Survivor to pass that point.
- 7Try not to spawn too early, as noises can make Survivors jumpy.
- 8Consider the worst times a Special Infected could appear when playing as a Survivor.
- 9Special Infected cannot trigger Alarm Cars.
- 10Smash any Doors to bits.
- 11Survivors are defenceless when climbing ladders.
- 12Never let a Survivor get their hands on a Defibrillator (an item that can revive a downed Survivor).
