Survivors
Coach
Age: 44
Hometown: Savannah, GA
Coach has a big heart and a healthy appetite, and a wicked swing with a chainsaw. After a knee injury ended his career as a defensive lineman in college, Coach salvaged his Physical Education degree (barely) and landed a job teaching health at the local high school in his hometown of Savannah.
Working as a defensive coordinator for the freshmen tour team might not have been the best path to a pro coaching career; but it’s come in pretty handy in guiding a group of Survivors to safety. Coach has watched his beloved hometown get ravaged by infected—now it’s time to deliver his own brand of Southern hospitality.
Ellis
Age: 23
Hometown: Savannah, GA
Ellis is a mechanic with a love of life, a firm belief in his own immortality, and the ability to treat any setback as a fun dare to impress his friends. Born and raised in Savannah, Ellis divides up his time working at the local garage, hanging out with his buddies, and dropping by for Sunday dinners with Mom—why’d anybody want to live anywhere else?
Then the zombies had to go and spoil it. Now Ellis is looking for new things to occupy his time, and finding plenty. It turns out the zombie apocalypse is one big dare, and there’s no shortage of crazy stuff he can try to impress his new buddies.
Nick
Age: 35
Hometown: Unknown
A lifetime of drifting from city to city, finding back-alley card games and trying to stay out of jail has taught Nick two valuable lessons: Don’t trust anyone, and look out for number one.
He’d come down to Savannah looking for some gullible fish on the riverboat gambling cruise circuit. Instead he found a city about to be engulfed by infection. Now he finds himself forced together with three complete strangers in a fragile alliance that goes against every instinct he lives by. But he’s going to have to learn to trust them if he wants to survive.
Rochelle
Age: 29
Hometown: Cleveland, OH
As a low-level associate producer for a big-name news station, Rochelle’s job mostly consisted of lugging cables and fetching coffee. But when the outbreak hit and staff started calling in sick, Rochelle got her break: producing a segment from Savannah about the evacuation center located there. She was still setting up the cameras when her big story became a war zone.
But that doesn’t mean she’s letting go of her dream job yet. Surviving a zombie apocalypse is just something else she can use her wits and drive to produce the hell out of.
Special infections
Boomer:
The Boomer is a Special Infected that vomits a special bile at Survivors, which temporarily blinds them and draws a Horde of Common Infected to them. At a distance the Boomer isn’t much of a threat; their large size and low health make them an easy target against any weapon at mid or long range. However, if within range, they can vomit on Survivors, attracting the Horde.
Its health is 50 hp.
Charger:
One arm of this infection is larger as a result of mutation. By running a long distance, he can take one of the characters in a row and throw the others while colliding. Any character he catches hits the ground constantly. If you do not want to get caught in this infection, it is enough to pull aside when you run towards you.
Its health is 600hp.
Tank:
The Tank is the biggest and strongest of all the Infected, and can easily wipe out a team in seconds. He is the only player-controllable “Boss Infected”. He is reasonably fast, only slowing if hit with large amounts of automatic weapons fire or when lit on fire (Versus in Left 4 Dead only and any mode aside Versus on Left 4 Dead 2).
If any Survivors at 40% or above health (including health gained from pain pills or the Adrenaline Shot) are running away from the Tank, he will not be able to catch them, as they can run slightly faster .
Health according to the difficulty levels:
Easy: 3000hp
Normal (normal): 4000hp
Advanced / Expert (advanced / expert): 8000hp
Versus (challenge): 6000hp.
Hunter:
The Hunter is a Special Infected that can pounce and pin down Survivors, clawing at their abdomen until either the victim is dead, or the Hunter has been knocked off or killed by another Survivor. They are also extremely fast and agile, capable of quickly scaling walls. They have the least visible mutations, and can easily be mistaken for a Common Infected.
Hunters are not the most physically robust Infected, having relatively low health, and thus it doesn’t take very much to kill them.
Its health is 250hp.
Smoker:
The Smoker is an ambush class that can strangle Survivors with his long tongue, similar to Half-Life’s Barnacle. The help of another Survivor is required to escape from a Smoker’s hold (though if quick enough it is possible, though difficult, to kill a Smoker who has already grabbed you, earning an achievement). As the name implies, Smokers emit smoke when killed to impair Survivors’ vision.
Its health is 250 hp.
Jockey:
The Jockey is a Special Infected that appears in Left 4 Dead 2. He is a small Infected that attacks Survivors by clinging to them from behind and literally riding the Survivor while attacking them. He can shift his weight around and cause the Survivor to stumble in his desired direction, giving this Special Infected a type of control over the Survivor. He will only let go if his victim becomes incapacitated, or if he gets knocked off/killed.
Its health is 325 hp.
Spitter:
The Spitter is a Special Infected in Left 4 Dead 2. She possesses the ability to spit a green ball of acid from long distances, which, upon hitting the ground, will expand into a large puddle and damage any Survivors who make contact with it. After spitting, however, the Spitter is temporarily paralyzed for a second, giving the Survivors a chance to kill her. The Spitter makes these high-pitched noises that give away her location.
Its health is 100 hp.
Witch:
The Witch is the second “Boss Infected”, and is one of the worst obstacles you can come across in a campaign. However, she generally only appears a few times per campaign, and is passive unless provoked by flashlights, gunfire, or Survivors in close proximity. Pistol fire does not provoke her easily, but it will do only a small amount of damage (in Left 4 Dead 2, causing any damage to the Witch will instantly startle her). She is very powerful, capable of incapacitating and even killing Survivors with one hit.
When the Director spawns a Witch, the faint chord of the Witch music will play, allowing veterans of the game to quickly prepare for the “obstacle.”
Its health is 1000 hp.
Bonus
Screamer (Infected removed):
The Screamer was a prototype for Special Infected formulated early in Left 4 Dead’s development. As such, he is the progenitor of Special Infected like the Witch and Boomer. Screamers were presented in-game as Infected humans bound in a restraining psychiatric-style straitjacket.

Explosive barrel:
It has an explosive effect that is a combination of the gas can and the propane tank. It is immobile and thus requires careful consideration during gameplay. Explosive Barrels are usually found either in side-by-side pairs or individual barrels in close proximity to one another.
Healing items
First aid kit
Healing Type: Permanent
Damage restored: 80%
There are 4 medkits at the beginning of the game. When the health of survivors is between 39-1, their walking speed decreases, when this medkit is used, they regain their old speed and health. Depending on the difficulty of the game, we have the chance to find it in certain places.

12 Fl. Oz. (355ml)
A man in the Dead Center named Whitetaker offers us an offer behind a door. This offer says that if you bring 6 bottles of cola from the opposite market, I will give you the key to my gun shop. Our heroes, who do not miss this offer, encounter a small surprise in the market. It can be moved to this arm and also close attacks can be made. (defense)
Gnome Chompski:
The black festival appears in the fairground section. If you get 750 points when you hit in the shooting game, you will earn a garden gnome that can be attacked as a defense that can be carried by the survivors. If you finish the Fairground section by carrying this garden gin, you will be given an achievement called Goblin Guardian. You will have to escort to the helicopter.
Scavenge gas can (Scavenge Mode):
Scavenge Mode is a competitive gameplay mode released in Left 4 Dead 2.[1] It is a round-based game in which Survivors attempt to find up to 22 gas cans to refuel a generator (or car), while fighting against player-controlled Special Infected much like in a Versus game. Before a game starts, the host can choose the amount of rounds to play (1 round, 3 rounds, 5 rounds).
