Left 4 Dead (Game of the Year Edition) Cheats

Xbox 360 - Left 4 Dead (Game of the Year Edition) Cheats

Hint: Fire. And Lots of It.

The infected cannot extinguish fires once they are ignited (all modes - but especially in versus mode). Use that to your advantage in the campaign by using the molotov (or igniting gas cans) on tough targets like Tanks and Witches.

Hint: Hot Swap

If you need to 'reset' your primary weapon to its original (cherry) state, pick up a weapon different from yours, then re-select the weapon you want. This is faster than reloading (plus the time used from replenishing from the ammunition pile), and can help in close-call rescue finales.

Hint: Speed Life

As the director's commentary points out, the Tank can be outrun by any survivor with green (51% or more) health, but the Tank can overtake any survivor with 50% of less life, because the more injured a survivor is, the slower s/he moves.

Pain pills will boost the speed of an injured survivor, although the color of the life bar will reflect his/her original health status.

Hint: Reloaded Defence

When reloading any weapon, your survivor can keep attacking with the melee button. The reloading sequence will continue unabated.

Hint: Respawn for Max Health in Vs.

If you'd like to "refill" your health as a zombie, run away from the survivors until you see a message claiming you are too far away. Now you'll be allowed end your current life and then respawn back in the fray. Hopefully they won't make it to the safe room before you're back!

Hint: Shortcut in No Mercy

In Part 1 (The Rooftops), as soo as you start, look over the edge of the building, down to the street. There's a box partway down, possibly an air conditioner. Hop down to that and it should reduce you to 41% life. Drop to ground from there to skip the interior of the apartments entirely.

Hint: Punch Twice as Fast

Alternate tapping the melee button and the weapon switch button rapidly to double your melee speed. This can be useful for beating off zombies on Expert difficulty. Note: This may be banned in Versus mode.

Hint: Shortcuts in Dead Air

In Part 2 (The Crane), jump on the fence by climbing onto the vent cover. Head across the fence and jump to the other side of the horizontal fence. Turn left, and head to the end, jumping up and to the right to the AC unit / box on the corner of the next building, allowing you to bypass the crescendo event. On the next building, go to the left corner and jump into the highest branch of the tree below. You may lose up to 80% of your health, so heal up before you leap. This leaves you right at the next safe room.

In Part 3 (The Construction Site), by the barricade that you burn is a metal door and a raised fence. Jump on the railing / fence and follow it until it begins to start downward. Here, hop onto the metal siding / door (a difficult maneuver).
