Answers to frequently asked questions about Left 4 Dead 2, including Riot Infected, campaign access, custom campaigns, gore settings, and weapon information.
Q: Wait, Riot Cop Infected?
A: Riot Infected are not included in the "Censored" version of Left 4 Dead 2. Luckily, through sacking and popular demand, that may change soon.
Q: Where else can I get Left 4 Dead 2 tips?
A: Left 4 Dead Wiki is an excellent place to get information.
Q: How do I get The Passing and Cold Stream Campaigns?
A: The PC version receives these campaigns automatically (due to Steam), but Xbox users must pay a small price for these addons.
Q: How do I download custom Campaigns for the Xbox version?
A: Custom Campaigns are only for the PC version. Consider getting the PC version next time!
Q: How do I turn off gore?
A: There's an option to turn the gory effects down a notch in the options menu.
Q: I don't see the hard rain in Hard Rain.
A: One's settings must require a High shader level in their video options to see the rain.
Q: What's with the Counter-Strike weapons? What's going on?
A: Some servers may allow the use of these exclusive weapons. Other times, it may be the fact that a German player is in the server. Valve wanted to make up to those Germans and their censorship with these guns. Too bad they didn't do the same with the Australians!
Q: How do I "juggle"?
A: Grab at least one Primary Weapon, Grenade, Pack, and Consumable. Decide where the Survivors plan to hold up and remember that spot. Then, head towards an area with various Supplies. See that Molotov? With a Pipe Bomb or Bile Bomb in hand, one can "grab" the Molotov and move backwards, the momentum bringing the other Grenade backwards. Hopefully this force is strong enough to move the item far enough from the Molotov's spawn point so that the Survivor can keep grabbing the two items towards wherever he/she wants it! This applies to Weapons, Packs, and everything else (just make sure they're different items, or else it won't work!)
Q: What about all those other Left 4 Dead Campaigns?
A: Those are Campaigns native to Left 4 Dead. Redirect to my Left 4 Dead guide for information regarding those. Construction and Hazmat Infected appear in those Campaigns.
Q: Do Custom Campaigns still require the Left 4 Dead 2 Addon Support?
A: Not anymore! As of The Sacrifice's update, all the content included in the Addon Support is now packaged with the main game!
Q: Do I need the disk to play the game every time?
A: No. This game runs through Steam; all that's required to play is a Steam account and an internet connection.
Q: What's your Steam account name?
A: My Steam Account can be found here: My Steam nickname is RainingMetal. Be sure to email me if you plan to be friends with me!
