Reloaded Defence -Left 4 Dead When reloading any weapon, your survivor can keep attacking with the melee button. The reloading sequence will continue unabated.
Hot Swap Left 4 Dead If you need to 'reset' your primary weapon to its original (cherry) state, pick up a weapon different from yours, then re-select the weapon you want. This is faster than reloading (plus the time used from replenishing from the ammunition pile), and can help in close-call rescue finales.
Shortcut in No Mercy [Submitted by: Cheat Masters ] Description: In Part 1 (The Rooftops), as soo as you start, look over the edge of the building, down to the street. There's a box partway down, possibly an air conditioner. Hop down to that and it should reduce you to 41% life. Drop to ground from there to skip the interior of the apartments entirely.
Speed Life As the director's commentary points out, the Tank can be outrun by any survivor with green (51% or more) health, but the Tank can overtake any survivor with 50% of less life, because the more injured a survivor is, the slower s/he moves. Pain pills will boost the speed of an injured survivor, although the color of the life bar will reflect his/her original health status.
Super Shot [Submitted by: Cheat Masters ] This can only be done with the Assault Rifle with a full reload clip. Hold the LT and press Y,Y -- then hold RT for 10 seconds (while still holding the melee trigger). After 10 seconds or more, let go the MELEE TRIGGER. This Super Shot will kill a Tank! (editor: Hoax ? )
Fire. And Lots Of It. (Left 4 Dead) The infected cannot extinguish fires once they are ignited (all modes - but especially in versus mode). Use that to your advantage in the campaign by using the molotov (or igniting gas cans) on tough targets like Tanks and Witches.
Shortcuts in Dead Air [Submitted by: Cheat Masters ] Location: Part 2 (The Crane) Jump on the fence by climbing onto the vent cover. Head across the fence and jump to the other side of the horizontal fence. Turn left, and head to the end, jumping up and to the right to the AC unit / box on the corner of the next building, allowing you to bypass the crescendo event. On the next building, go to the left corner and jump into the highest branch of the tree below. You may lose up to 80% of your health, so heal up before you leap. This leaves you right at the next safe room. In Part 3 (The Construction Site), by the barricade that you burn is a metal door and a raised fence. Jump on the railing / fence and follow it until it begins to start downward. Here, hop onto the metal siding / door (a difficult maneuver).
Punch Twice as Fast *Left 4 Dead* Description: Alternate tapping the melee button and the weapon switch button rapidly to double your melee speed. This can be useful for beating off zombies on Expert difficulty. *** This may be banned in Versus mode.
Akimbo Assassin Achievement Made Easy The Akimbo Assassin Achievement requires you to play an entire mission with only the pistol(s). One easy way to complete this is to start a mission, shoot a few zombies with your pistol only, then choose "Take a Break" and let the NPCs finish the level.
Out of Ammo [Submitted by: SYS Sugar ] Out of Ammo?
If you are out of ammo and looking for a pile of shells but all you can find are weapons, pick up a copy of the same gun you are carrying it replenishes your ammo supply. I know this tip might sound simple but I have met so many people in game that did not know this one which surprised me.
Unbreakable Achievement Description: The Unbreakable Achievement requires you to not heal yourself or be healed throughout an entire mission. If the computer begins to heal you, whip out your own health pack (do not heal yourself though!) and it will stop the computer in its tracks. You can also use Pain Pills for a boost. Finally, if you choose "Take a Break" and let the computer heal you, it will not count against you when you hop back in.

Cr0wned Achievement Description: To kill a witch with a headshot, put the game on Easy difficulty, acquire an auto-shotgun, and look for a witch. The player going after this achievement should simply (and quickly) approach the witch (lights off), causing her to rise. As the witch is standing (she is slower to attack on easy), unload all 10 shells into her head.
Unbreakable / Stand Tall Achievements Left 4 Dead Do these 2 achievements on Easy difficulty (duh!) and get into the habit of running back to let other players (or bots, if on single player) take out the Tanks and enemies. On single-player mode, if a bot accidentally heals you, you can die, restart the map, and not have that count against your achievement. However, if you are playing online, that exploit will not work.
Respawn for Max Health in Vs. If you'd like to "refill" your health as a zombie, run away from the survivors until you see a message claiming you are too far away. Press X, and then you will be allowed to respawn back in the fray. Hopefully they will not make it to the safe room before you are back!
Q: I got a question on the zombies turning into tanks after you shoot the fence and the car alrams I tried that and it doesnt work? is there something im doing wrong?
Q: When I put the game in, it plays the beginning movie and then it locks up during the loading phase.cleaned it and took it back 4 a diff copy still the same result,any ideas?
Q: Are there any special things you can do on the title menu such as codes to make zombies fight, or other events? I hadn't heard of anything, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks!
Q: On Left 4 Dead to play offline co-op mode, do you have to have a memory module or harddrive on the Xbox 360 console to be able to sign in and access the offline cooperation mode? I keep reading that each player must sign in. I assume that is to sign in in order to save progress and not to sign into xbox live. Is this correct. The game is listed as being able to have 2 player offline content and so xbox live should not be necessary. Thanks in advance. I am a new Xbox 360 owner so I apologize if my questions are seem dumb.
Q: How do I get the god mode but if there isn't how do I get the achievement where no one gets damage from special infected?
A 1:
You can't get god mode on Xbox 360 but if you are on the computer then click the ~ button and a text box opens type into it "god" (no speech marks) and god mode begins from Robert Forbes
