Quick healing
Boost with your Adrenaline Shot, then use your Medkit to heal afterwards. This serves as your quick fix, more so when you’re battling a zombie horde.
Surviving large hordes
Look for a corner while you are equipped with a melee weapon. Press and Hold your Melee weapon while at aim toward the approaching infected. Tip: You may still get hit a few times.
Defeating special Infected
The following tactics will help you defeat the special infected
Boomer:
Shoot at the stomach while staying as far back as possible.
Charger: Get close to it. This will prevent it from charging, and then it can only inflict melee damage. This makes it easier to kill it with any weapon (melee or gun).
Hunter: When it is in its pouncing position, use a shotgun to nudge it away, then shoot it in the face. Alternately, use the shove move while it is jumping at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.
Jockey: Get into a huddle with your teammates, and wait for the Jockey to appear. When you see it, all teammates can shoot the Jockey at the same time. Huddling together will prevent it from launching at you. Alternately, use the shove move while it is launching at you to force it to stumble back, thus preventing it from landing on you.
Smoker: Use a similar strategy as with the Charger. You must get directly in front of it before killing it. The Smoker uses its tongue to grab survivors from far distances, but it cannot do that when you are very close.
Spitter: Shoot at the head, and be ready to get out of the way when it spits.
Tank: Go to high ground, and shoot at it while dodging it. In Co-op mode, use a grenade launcher for a frontal assault while your teammates fire at its back with shotguns. Alternately, do not try to deal any damage to the Tank, but instead hide somewhere and let the survivor A.I. kill it.
“Eat Your Brains” song in Swamp Fever: Plank Country
In the bar in the abandoned town, find the jukebox, and play it to hear “Eat Your Brains” by Jonathan Coulton.
Portal reference
In The Parish: The Park, when you reach the bar with the jukebox inside, keep skipping through the songs to eventually hear the song “I’m Still Alive” from Portal.
Easy “A Spittle Help From My Friends” achievement
Start a versus match with friends. Play as the Spitter, and have a friend as the Smoker. Have your friend start choking a survivor with the Smoker, then spit on the survivor with the Spitter while the Smoker is choking them to get the “A Spittle Help From My Friends” achievement.
Easy “Back In The Saddle” achievement
Play against a friend. Jump on the back of a bot as the Jockey, and have your friend melee you off. Run away to recover. Then, jump on a survivor’s back to get the “Back In The Saddle” achievement.
Easy “Beat The Rush” achievement
Easy “Dismemberment Plan” achievement
In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, kill the bots so they do not steal your kills. Then, grab the grenade launcher and a bile bomb. Once the horde starts, throw the bile bomb, and wait for a large number of them to get around it. Then, fire the grenade launcher at the horde around the bile bomb. You should get the “Dismemberment Plan” achievement as long as their were a large number of zombies standing around the bile bomb.
Easy “Fried Piper” achievement
Easy “Gong Show” achievement
In Dark Carnival: The Barns, find the strength-testing mini-game in the first area. Inject adrenaline, and hit it with a melee weapon to get the “Gong Show” achievement.
Easy “Guardin’ Gnome” achievement
In Dark Carnival: The Fairgrounds, find the shooting range. Score over 500 points to make a garden gnome appear. Carry the gnome to the end of the level, and board the chopper with it at the end of Dark Carnival: The Concert to get the “Guardin’ Gnome” achievement.
Easy “Level A Charge” and “Scattering Ram” achievements
Easy “Robbed Zombie” achievement
In Dead Center: The Streets, reach the “Save 4 Less” store where you must get the cola. Kill all the CEDA agents along the way, and collect the vials of Boomer vomit they drop (not all CEDA agents will drop Boomer vomit). If you still need more vials of Boomer vomit once you reach the store, just set off the alarm, and hordes will keep coming with random CEDA agents.
Easy “Rode Hard” achievement
Start a versus match with friends. Play as the Jockey, and have a friend as the Spitter. Then, jump onto a survivor as the Jockey, and steer them into the Spitter’s acid to get the “Rode Hard” achievement.
Easy “Shock Jock” achievement
In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, have a human survivor go up to the top of the stairs, shoot out an area of the glass railing, and jump off so they die. Then, grab the defibrillator, and revive them. Restart the level again, and repeat this until you get the “Shock Jock” achievement.
Easy “Stache Whacker” achievement
In Dark Carnival: The Barns, find the Whack-A-Mole mini-game. Get a score of 42 to get the “Stache Whacker” achievement.
Easy “The Quick And The Dead” achievement
In Dead Center: The Atrium Finale in Survival mode, kill any bots so they cannot revive the human survivor. Grab an adrenaline shot. Then, go up to the top of the stairs, shoot out an area of the glass railing, and have a human survivor fall off where the glass railing was so they are hanging onto the edge. Inject the adrenaline shot, and revive them. Have them fall off the edge again, and revive them again. Repeat this until you get “The Quick And The Dead” achievement.
Easy “Violence In Silence” achievement
In The Parish: The Cemetery, when you reach the impound lot area with all the cars, just use a melee weapon to kill the Infected. The computer players will not set off an alarm. All the red cars have car alarms, so try to stay by the white cars. Once you make it past the area with all the cars without setting off an alarm, you will get the “Violence In Silence” achievement once you make it to the safe house.
Easy “Wing And A Prayer” achievement
Note: All three other players must be bots for this trick to work. Before the alarm goes off, clear all explosive items and do not use incendiary ammo. Then, crouch in the corner near the exit to the plane so the Infected cannot get you from behind or either side. Once the alarm is sounded and the horde start attacking, throw a Molotov to block the entrance. After that, the computer players should stand in front of you and take the damage. Just stay in the same place the entire time, and you should get the “Wing And A Prayer” achievement.
