Stronger Than Mustachio Achievment Hint

Have a melee weapon and hit the red box, and I bet you don't get it. You need to have adrenaline active, THEN you hit the red box and you should get it.

Hints

Kill A Witch The Easy Way

The witches aren't very strong when you think about it the simplest way to kill them is to toss a pipe bomb at her (and make sure that it will be close enough to her or she wont die) another way to kill her is to throw a Molotov at her and run like hell. You could also use a chainsaw and it takes like 2 seconds. Please note: the grenade launcher is not a good weapon to use against her because of the reload.

Best Survival Hang Out Place

If you go to the passing choose underground and if you go to that balcony above the jazz club there are some vines and if you jump several times you will start climbing and then you can kill zombies up there it also works on campaign and other modes.

Staying Alive Easier

Staying together isn't just enough, if you can get your friends or someone experienced you will have a better chance at surviving the harder difficulties. The ai bots aren't smart enough to keep the team alive and your survival and completion rate will suffer.

Survive By Blowing Up

This works on most maps but the coolest is on dark carnival motel with the grenade launcher get on the hump right before the hill where you slide down if you have the launcher don't get on if you don't jump on the hump until you get lauched up and your out of the map note do not ever close the safe house door you have to reset your xbox if you do.

How To Easily Kill A Witch

To crown a witch you must have a shotgun or melee weapon then crouch turn your light off get near the witch and shoot or hit it usually if you crown a witch it kills in one hit and if you use a chainsaw it will die in like 1 or 2 seconds.

A Few Words From Ellis

This only works when you are Ellis. First be Ellis and then go to the Dark Carnival campaign and select concert. When you start it, put on the stage lighting but don't start the concert yet. Walk up to the microphone and BOOM! Ellis will say something funny. Note: this only works about 54% of the time you do it.

Gun Gone Wild

First you need any kind of auto shotgun and then you make your team dude go down reload then keep on pressing (X) really fast and look at your ammo thing and you'll be reloading but no ammo is going up.

Automatic Weapons

For automatic weapons I prefer the ak-47. For close quarters I prefer axe, because it is deadly and it is fun watching you tear the zombies limbs right off there body. For pistols I prefer the magnum pistol because it is a lot more powerful than the regular pistol. For shotguns I prefer the spas-12 its has more bullets when you shoot and it packs a punch. For sniper rifles I prefer the single shot sniper even though it ain't as accurate as the bolt action rifle it doesn't have to be reloaded every time you shoot. And finally for throwing weapons I really do prefer the cocktail and boomer bile.

Combos

I prefer you never ever pick up an adrenaline shot. Because I have never found a situation were I needed it that bad so always grab the pain pills. Never grab a de-fib unit unless you are playing with an experienced players if not just get the med pack. For assault rifles I prefer not to get the Scar because it is 3 shot burst. I always grab an Ak-47 or a M-16. I am not a big shotgun user but they do deal a lot of damage on the special infected. I never really use the pistols I am a big melee person so I use the Katana. So I have told you everything to have a good time! So go kill them all!

Dark Carnival Survival Tip

On the Dark Carnival survival mode go to the high platform where there is a sniper and set traps arond that area then grab a grenade launcher with explosive or fire ammo (even though you can only use it once). Grab a fast melee weapon (for when the infected try to climb up)and stay there till die.

Bridge Over Trebled Slaughter Help

Get a automatic gun a frying pan and a pipe bomb use the radio and when the bridge falls go to the left side of the bridge use your auto use your pipe bomb when there is a group when the music starts jump on the gas tank DONT ATTACK oh yeah RUN LIKE HECK TILL YOU GET TO THE CHOPPER hope that helps.

Easier Way To Kil The Tank

While you are in the Louisiana bayou pick up a boomer bite and save it until the tank also followed by a horde just simply throw the boomer bite at the tank and it will attract the horde over to it and the other zombies will start to attack him and that is an easier way than getting thrown around.

Words From Coach

This cheat only works if you're Coach. First, pick Coach. Second, ick Dark Carnival and pick concert. Go to the micropone and he'll start singing.

Survival Tip

All you need is a sword or a bat or something, grab boomer bile then summon the hoard, quickly run in a corner and have your team split up. After that swith to your sword or a bat, (you should have grabbed a gun also), then you fight the hoard wacking or slicing. When the tank comes you throw boomer bile on him then run once your far away most of his health should be down. Then you hold your ground pull out your gun and shoot. Once he's dead a hoard should come you get back in your corner and repeat. (hint you should go get more boomer bile. ) also when you throw boomer bile on the tank you will recieve an achievement. And this is how you survive.

Killing Special Infected Easily

To kill spitters watch your back constantly they like to surprise you. Also if your looking to dodge a boomer if its close to you just hit them away then shoot don't just shoot. Also if a charger is coming strait for you and you see them whack them. Now try to get close to smokers if you want to kill them, same with hunters. Now if a witch is near throw a molotov at them then shoot them like crazy. Same with killing the tank except throw boomer bile at them instead.

Zombie Burner

First make sure you are near a molotov and a boomer bile. Now take the boomer bile and throw it anywhere but I would throw it in front of me but not close though. Ok next take the molotov and throw at the same spot where the boomer bile is. This helps when you are playing expert because it gets rid of the zombies in the area.

Getting Guns

(This only works if you have more than one player) On the first level of hard rain, you make your way over the fence. Climb up the ladder and fall to the left when your on the trailer. Hit idle and wait for your person to pick up a gun through the wall. Only thing is you can't pick what kind of gun you end up with. Make sure there are no zombies near your team or your person won't gab a gun.

Kill A Charger Easy

First find a machete and run to a charger and cut him and he is dead.

Zombie-q

First you will need to have a bile bomb and stand close to a molotov, then throw the bile bomb pick up the molotov and throw that at the bile spot so then the zombies will run into the zombies.

Onto The Drawbridge

This only works with the Passing content. First do survival. Then choose the Passing with Port. This only works with two people. Have one person grab the grenade launcher but first kill the Al Bots ( computer- controlled people). Once they are dead, get onto the closest pole to the drawbridge (I'll recommend the one on the right side. ) Then jump as fast as you can while the grenadier person shoots at the corner of the sign thing behind them. If you do this right, you'll fly up there. But what about the person with the grenade launcher? Once the blasted person gets onto the draw bridge safely, (if you want then start the horde) then run to the juke box and get on top of it and crouch. Then Take A Break then come back right away. You should be stuck on top. After a few seconds you should either poof to your blasted person or poof next to the Al Bots if you haven't killed them. If you did poof next to your blasted buddy, hurry and get onto the draw bridge. If you don't then acid patches will appear out of nowhere and lose health mysteriously. All of this only works about 15% of the time.

How To Avoid Special Infected

This is my way of avoiding special infected. The Jockeys job is to get you far away from other team mates so another special infected can attack you. So the only way to avoid a Jockey is to stay in a group and be ready. The spiter is supposed to make the group split up so the common and uncommon infected can pray on you one by one. And the only way to avoid that is watch your backs because she likes to surprise you. ;) The bommers job is to blind you for a short period of time so you are basically useless to your other team mates. The only way to stop this is be aware of your surroundings so if he does vomit on you. You can just back up into a corner. Don't be like some people and start shooting randomly. The Charger has a very similar job to the Spitters. His job is to separate the group into ones so the others can pick you off. The only way to avoid this is when you hear him coming split up so he doesn't knock all of you down. The worst thing that can happen is the Charger hits one of you but the others are still fine so they can help you back up. The Smoker is supposed to take your mind of the rest of the game so your not worried about the other zombies. He kinda makes me mad because if you save your friend and don't kill him he runs away and comes back later. He likes to be high in the air so you don't see him right away so when you hear him find away to get 2 of the members to look up and watch for him well the other 2 defend them. Now to my old friend the witch she can be deadly if you don't know how to beat her. She hates flashlights so keep them off! And she hates it when you get to close or shoot her so don't do that! The easiest way to beat her is get a Molotov Cocktail and throw it at her then have a assault rifle and shoot her don't run that just makes her chase you! The tank is simple most people just run for there life you can you gotta hold your ground, dodge his rocks and the cars he throws and shoot the living crap out of him.

Jump On A Roof

First, you need to go to the parish campaign and when your done with the kitchen part go in the safe room and get a pipe bomb if their is one then you go in between the buildings and shoot the green garbage can in the front and get on the blue trash can and try to jump on the electric box and once your up jump again on the pipe and do the same again then turn around (using the right analog stick)and jump on the black pipe and run. And if you want to get on the opposite roof in front of the one you are on just throw the pipe bomb on the wall BUT SOFTLY go in front of it and make sure their is nothing in the way. And you are able to get their then when the beep of the pipe bomb gets fast press the Y button rapidly till you are on the roof. Then when you are on the roof stop! . And their is another way to get on that roof if their is a smoker on that roof let it grab you and tell a friend to save you p. S if you wonder how the computers get up their they just follow.

Melee Weapon Tip

I'm going to tell you about some melee weapons you can use when you are attacked by a bunch of zombies whwn hitting them with your pistol isn't enough. You can use weapons like a crowbar, guitar, frying pan, baseball bat, and a axe, however there is one weapon I would reccomend for you I reccomend the chainsaw. (Note: The chainsaw is most useful when you charge ahead of your fellow survivors and right into the zombie horde) It can also earn you the"Chain of Command' Acheivement. So use this hint to keep surviving when your assault rifle runs out of ammo. Happy Zombie Hunting!

More Kills in Mall Level

Hello I'm going to tell you how to gain more kills in the mall level. An assault rifle works best like an AK-47 or an M16 works best. Get yourself and your team up the esceladors and arm yourself with boomer bite or a motov. Pipe bombs won't work. Then, just before the zombies come, throw the motov/boomer bite right down the esceladors and watch them burn! (Note:if ywas aou threw boomer bite, go down escalators and gun them down. ) Happy zombie hunting!.

Easy Way To Kill Tank From Distance

Get the M16 or the AK47 to kill the tank faster or the scar like gun and its better with the Incendiary Ammo or preferably the Explosive Ammo. This is also good to kill the charger and witch explosive ammo will blow the witch back if hit in the chest with the ak or m16.

Dark Carnival Secrets

In the Fairground stage, you will find a target practice minigame. Next to it is a box that says 750 points. Once you achieve 750 points, you will get Gnome Chompski. (NOTE:A recommended weapon is the hunter rifle you get from next to the billboard. )If you keep this gnome until the end, and hold it even in the helicopter, you get Rochelle's shirt and the GAURDIN' GNOME achievement. In the Barns stage, near the entrance to the barns will be a game titled "'Stache Whacker". If you reach 42 points, the game breaks and you get the 'STACHE WHACKER achievement. (NOTE:If time runs out, LEDs will say in text "Continue? " . Press the action button to continue) On the Concert stage, next to the seats on the far right side is a forklift. If you hide in the corner behind it, virtually no zombies will get you. ALSO, the gnome can push the forklift. If you push it in the way, the zombies have an obsticle and cannot see you. (NOTE:If your team is on the same side as you, it will be easier to get to the chopper. ).

Tank Killer

This achievement will help you to kill a tank with a mele weapon! First you, of course have to have a melee weapon! Pistols don't count because they shoot, you must have either Katana, machete, crowbar, axe, cricket bat, or baseball bat. Then simply whenever the tank comes light off then wait till the tank is attacking on of your teammates, then come from behind and start slashing until he dies! You don't want to wait to long before attacking or else your teammates might kill it! Or if you have Xbox live you, and all your teammates will have to have a melee weapon and everybody attack, and one of you will get lucky and get the achievement!

Witch Sneaker

To unlock this achievement you have to sneak past a witch in any level! Sounds simple huh? Its not really! But here some help: First in my opinion choose the Dead Center Campaign because there is usually only 1 or 2 witches depending on what difficultly you put it on! Second you never stop and watch her you always want to be on the move or she will suspect something! So when you see the witch make sure your at least 15 feet away, or if shes blocking your path you'll just have to run around her. 50% of the time she is walking so its not that hard, and if you really want the achievement put it on easy!

Sniper Fi

This hint will help you on getting the achievement for saving the knome! First on single play or Campaign play choose Dark Carnival, then fairground, then you want to grab a sniper! Grab a sniper because its your best bet because it gives you 30 shots per reload and it only fires one bullet per second! So hit x and get ready to shot the skeleton creatures! You have to take it to the very end of the level!

Tank Hider

When you hear the music, the music when the tank comes, turn off your light, and crouch in a corner area! Also make sure he can't see you or he will come after you! Even if you are far away and he can see you he will throw a huge chunk of rock at you! So stay down, light off, and stay out of site and let your teammates do the rest!

Easy Win

On the carnival place on the last level you of that chapter there will be in a cornor will be some firecrackers and some gas you take them and put them over the stage and when zombies come you shoot them and the will die.

How To Survive In The Mall In Survival

Once you start a game find the explosive ammo on the table with all the weapons and set it up IMMEDIATELY! Then grab some (doesn't matter what weapons you use) then grab the incendiary ammo and go up the stair set CLOSEST to the radio! Once you arrive all the way to the top you make a left and you will find an enclosed area! Set the incendiary ammo here and don't take any until you run out of explosive ones! Then run back down grab a health kit and another gas can and throw them in front of the door by the room you go in! When you get bum rushed shoot those and it will be much easier! WARNING! They can climb over the back and the tanks normally come from behind there! After like 5 to 7 minutes you might fail to contain them so shoot out the sky lights on the ground in the room then jump down in them and start runnin!

Faster Than Mustashio

The only thing you need to do is grab a MG (doesn't matter which one) And make sure you have pistols also just in case! Once you find the pinball machine hit the action button and fire away! (note) you may have to do it multiple times so make sure your ammo is high and your team is alert!

Best Primary Weapons

This is my opinion on the best weapons: the assault rifle is my all time favorite weapon because its one shot kill on regular zombies and it has a clip of fifty. The down side is you run out of ammo a bit fast. The shotgun is best if you are planning on trying to face the horde head on and one at a time its a good choice. But with the shotgun in the events where either a tank or a witch attack or you get attacked by huge groups of the horde it's not good because of the long reload times. The snipe is very good, it can go through multiple enemies and also kill a smoker or a tank from long range but when you are in close quarters you are stuck with a long range weapon and the time in between shots. So my suggestion is stick with the assault rifle it seems to work the best for all scenarios.

Dodging The Charger

Dodging chargers can be a good thing. The chargers are as powerful as the Tanks or Witches because they could cause as much damage. To AVOID a charger to cause a great deal of damage, don't hang out in long areas or on high buildings. Chargers take a lot of bullets before they die. To DODGE a charger just simply strafe (run! ) left or right. They will most likely run into a wall, then shoot them.

Snipe-O-Rama

In left 4 dead 2 one of the best weapons used in single and multiplayer campaign would most likely be the sniper rifle. Its a mod from the original assault rifle. The sniper rifle would be the best choice for the reason of that it has a long range advantage to you. It holds up to 25 bullets a clip, so you get more time protecting your self then getting pissed off by reloading half the time. Also since left 4 dead 2 you can't punch zombies for a long period of time so this gun may help that problem. The grenade launcher is ok too but you need a really good secondary weapon like dual pistols. So yea GO SNIPERS!

Easiest Way To Get The Sob Story Achievement

The easiest way to get the sob story cheat is to grab a melee weapon at the beginning of the chapter and hold on to it until you get to the mill. Once you do equip the weapon n just run through the mill until you get to the safe house. Once you close the door you will receive the achievement.

Dismemberment Plan Achievement

I've found the easiest way to get this achievement is to either use a can of boomer bile or a pipe bomb. Once you throw either one switch to the grenade launcher n fire away. Just make sure its already loaded or you may not get the shot.

Glitches

Survival Glitch: Airwalk

First you get a propane tank or a pipe bomb and throw it under yourself, then stand on it and it will blow up then knock you back, while your knocked back keep pressing Y button (don't stop pressing it) and then you will be air-walking! But be sure you in the center of the platform, and there's nothing blocking your way. If you are at the edge of somewhere it will not work.

Survival Glitch

First you go to the one level where the airplane is, and you attract the horde. Next you go on the mail box that is by the wall and throw a bommer bile th jump on top on the small horde that comes. Jump on the bathroom thing and then jump on top of the gate. Go inside that small place on the gate at the way end then your at the end of the map and then go inside the safehouse then BOOM! You did it.
