teamwork

Charger does enormous amounts of damage with the claw attack.

Fastest mele weapon is the police baton and should the only one used to nail a Tank.

Use all chat. Convince the other team to go two-and-two in scavenge.

if you boom all 4 survivors right before a tank comes, it will play the boomer vomit music instead of the tank music, so the survivors won't be properly prepared when the tank comes to rape their asses

Right click when you stop with Charger. You can immediately do a punch attack, even after grabbing someone.

though charger should be high tier imo

Here's one alot of people can't seem to grasp:

Do not attack the survivors by yourself

>ITT Left 4 Dead 2 Versus/Scavenge strategies and tips
A tank will go down fast when being hit with melee weapons. Watched a guy kill one in 5 hits with a ninja sword.

So if the opportunity comes up. Melee it.

If you get knocked off of someone as a Jockey or Hunter, immediately start clawing with the right click. Jockey does ok damage, but Hunter does INSANE damage with his claw

also; if someone has very low health, scratch them till they get incapped and pounce/jump on the guy who tries to rescue him

Don't split 2-2 if their team is good specials, if you do, don't be on opposite sides of the map

Acid Spit travels fucking horrendously far. I've helped take down a team in less than a minute and a half on the dark carnival level because the survivors couldn't leave the safe room.

Use peels whenever necessary in scavenge, there's moar on the table.

The spitter goo curves, and can't go through windows/holes in doors very well.

And if you're playing a tank. Never. I mean NEVER use the rock throw. Its fucking useless and makes you an open target.

Always hit cars. Getting hit by a car is an instant incap.

Acid spit has a limit to how far it will go before falling straight down. watch out for this if you are very far above the survivors.

Spit from the 4th floor on mall.

>Hunter in shit tier

What the fuck? Hunter does a metric fuckton of damage, usually kills the target before teammates can get to them.

>Rock Throw
>Shitty
LOL NO
If a survivor is above you, and they're low on health, maybe even close to a incapped survivor they can rescue and you can't reach them in time, the rock throw is CRUCIAL.

Grenade Launchers destroy walls that tanks can break.

Particularly useful in the tunnel of love, if you don't want to risk dropping down that hole.

>>44968742
Indeed. Learned that the hard way.

Also depending on the angle you can use smackable objects as shields while playing the Tank. People seem to forget about ammo conservation and reload times when the tank music rolls in.

>>44968819
Its complete and utter shit. Only an idiot will get hit by it and you become a sitting duck for 4 seconds.

attack cars for bonus points

>>44968569
>>44968742
What are those from?

Also: In Scavenge, NEVER DROP THE FUCKING CANS unless it is a matter of life or death (But if you don't like whomever is dieing, don't help them anyway). Any Spitter that isn't worthless will ignite them as soon as they can.

As Tank, don't attack cars with alarms, it shuts the alarms off.

The rock throw has a HUGE impact range, it is pretty damn hard to miss unless you suck.
It can incap someone if you don't have the time to run up to him and punch him. It is not shitty.

Change your Tank music to 'Gone Guru'

>>44968742
Except if you don't have any SI back up and they're all green. Rock throw for a distance where they can't see you until you have support. Otherwise you're wasting a tank.

>He's never played sniper tank
Let team incap one survivor
Hide behind cover
Throw rocks if they try and get him up
He eventually dies
You win

Whoever said some guy killed tank in 5 hits is wrong, cos melee does exactly 10% of his hp per hit

>>44968911
You must suck at this game. In the parish gauntlet crescendo I just stood behind the station depot sign and tossed rocks at the survivors up on the scaffolding.

Didn't manage to kill them but I dropped them all to red and made them use all their health kits. The rock throw is meant to be used when you have cover.

>>44968911
yeah if you suck

rock throw is essential to my strategy as the tank, always fun to knock over the survivors with the rock like bowling pins then charging in for the kill

Allways work together , even if you see a player mildly alone. Just save your spawn. (or else they have to wait 10-20 seconds for an attack which can be game breaking)

Communicate if you can ...talk if you go get an item , if you are surrounded by horde , if you think there is an attack coming , if you know a good strategy.

If you are just walking in the middle or in the front , turn around something and see the locations of your teammates so you can react faster if you see one or hear one under attack.

The tank works as best ...the longer you keep it alive the better.
It does not matter if you dont do or barlely do any damage.
If you can keep the tank alive for 5 minutes or so ..your team mates can do so much damage ...while they are distracted by you.

Target spitters and boomer first ALWAYS.
They have the least hp , yet are the deadliest.
if you are in front prepare to melee every corner or possible spot a boomer can show up.

If you have a shotgun ..try not to shoot common infected if they run close to your teammates or between.
You do 10-20 damage the common does 1..do the math.

Spitter always go last , boomer always go first.

Try to get a spit in while in a building or when a team mates stuns them (pounce or some shit)

When a boomer first let a team mate spawn or just show himself so they will look at him and you get a easier boom off.

Will continue.

>Giving bad advice
How normal.

Spitter goo can be bounced off walls. So if they're in a door don't just spit at the door, angle it inside and bounce it off the wall towards them.

>>44968911
Jesus fuck this is bad advice.

>>44968911
>>44968742
mad troll, ask anyone who plays esl and they will laugh at you. Me included.

Crouching while incapped give you increased accuracy
It takes 10 melee hits to kill a tank
The charger knockback effect will make survivors airboune making it excellent for insta kills.

Reload after every goddamn shot if you have a shotgun. Only go full-auto if someone's pinned/it's an intense crescendo event/there's a tank

Bad damage and obviously like I've been saying, its ranged. If the guy is really stupid enough to be hit by it instead of running out of its range or behind a corner, he'll be back up in 2 seconds and running.

Use cars, if there arent any use melee. Your team mates should be slowing most of them down aswell.

Rock Throw would work well in a given situation. But straight up, its only a detriment. Most people take the time run backwards and shoot the shit out of you when you begin a rock throw. Its also gives plenty of time for a ballsy survivor to run up to you and hack away your health with a machete or some shit.

>>44969152
>>44969173
Who the fuck gets hit by a tank throw? Honestly? You'd have to be shit.

>Left for speed 2.

Don't bother watching it. Ripping off the Egoraptor style and none of the humor.
