Veteran Difficulty

Veteran difficulty is a middleground between Advanced and Expert. It may be considered training for Expert or Expert Realism. Standard Advanced coop rules apply, but infected do 10 damage to the front (5 to the back), and friendly fire and fire damage have been scaled up.

There are seven different mutations here: Veteran, Veteran Realism, Veteran Versus, Veteran Survival, Veteran Scavenge, Veteran L4D1, and Veteran Realism L4D1. They can be selected through Mutations. They can also be selected by typing the map name into the console followed by one the following: veteran, veteranrealism, veteranversus, veteransurvival, veteranscavenge, veteranl4d1, or veteranrealisml4d1.

Here's a sense of the friendly fire damage output: point blank shotgun blast to the face is 30 damage, single magnum shot is 10 damage. pistol shot is 4 damage, melee swing is 2 damage. Fire deals about 5 damage every 1/3 or 1/2 of a second.

Thanks to Daroot Leafstorm for helping me with an issue getting this to work properly.
