PREREQUISITES

*Open the console, and type - bind G "say /drop".
- This will allow you to drop whatever item you are currently holding in your hands.

*Open up the console and type - bind T "+alt2", or any key you want.
- This will allow you to mark special enemies, weapons, items, etc. with a global ping

*Open your Options menu and set Shader Details to High or above
- Without this, the Howler becomes literally invisible, and is completely unfair.

QUICK TIPS

- There is no shame in lowering the difficulty if you're having trouble - that's why it's there.
- Medkits only heal a small portion of health. Use pills to gain health that can then be sealed.
- Health will slowly regenerate to the nearest bar of health (aka the nearest 1/5th of your health).
- Crosshairs are disabled, making laser sights even more valuable to come across.
- Pipe bombs have a short fuse, throw them at Tanks and Witches to stagger them,
- If all players reach the saferoom alive, you'll get an extra life; if you lose them all, it's game over.
- You can quick switch weapons like shotguns or snipers to deal massive damage very fast.
- The Hunter can cling to ceilings to ambush you - Be sure to look up every once in a while.
- Crouching moderately reduces your gun recoil, and laser sights remove it almost entirely.
- You can switch to your secondary weapon to run faster, certain primaries slow you down.
- You can flash your light at the Howler to slow it down, but your battery will drain very fast.
- Boomer explosions will damage survivors. Make sure to keep your distance at all times.
- Witches have now become ambush predators, springing to life when survivors get too close.
- While Witches have very low HP, they will slay the entire team if left unchecked.
- Howlers cannot be killed, but lighting them on fire will slow them to a crawl for a whole minute.
- You'll lose remaining mag rounds if you reload too early, and ammo piles are limited use.
- Adrenaline reduces reload times and you can use it on your fallen teammate.
- Picking up new weapons gives you a random amount of ammo in reserve.
