Move backwards off map glitchGrab a gas tank and any gun besides a grenade launcher. Go to a ledge that is high up, such as the heli-pad in the bridge finale of The Parish. Stand about five feet away from the gas tank. Shoot it and immediately tap Y rapidly. You should be moving slowly backwards non-stop. Not even leaving the map will stop you. |
"Gong Show" achievement hintOn level 4 of the Dark Carnival chapter, find the strength-testing game in the first area. Inject adrenaline and hit it with a melee weapon to unlock the achievement. |
Avatar AwardsTo unlock the following Avatar Awards, perform the corresponding tasks: |
Special Infected strategiesKill the following special infected by using the corresponding strategies: |
Quick healingTo quickly heal yourself, use an adrenaline shot and then use your medkit. |
Jump killsYou can kill zombies by jumping on them. When on a high ledge (any high point where you can jump over Infected) and there are infected below you, drop down on top of them and they will die. |
Survive giant swarmsFind a corner and have a melee weapon equipped. Hold RB and aim at approaching zombies. Note: You may get hit a few times. |
Easy win at drawbridge horde glitch on "Swamp Fever: Shanty Town"When you get to the part of the small drawbridge and you start lowering it, walk on it anyways. The bridge will stop lowering. It does so every time you step on it. Wait until the bridge is slanted perfectly with the roof of the building overhead so that it acts as a ramp. Once so, you can now cross and can get on top of this roof. The zombies approach from only the corner of the building, allowing you to pick each one off. This is a better way to conserve health at this point. |
Hunters or Jockeys strategyUse the shove move on a Hunter while he is jumping at you to push him back, thus preventing him from landing on you. Doing this for the Jockey works as well, but does not work for a Charger who is running, a Witch, or Tank. |
"Guardin' Gnome" achievement hintOn level 2 of the Dark Carnival chapter, find the shooting range and score over 500 points to make a garden gnome appear. Carry the gnome to the end of the level and board the chopper. |
"Stache Whacker" achievement hintOn level 4 of the Dark Carnival chapter, find the Whack-A-Mole type arcade game. Attack it with a melee weapon and destroy it. |
"The Quick And The Dead" achievement hintAdrenaline shots can be found on any level. To unlock the achievement, use an adrenaline shot and immediately revive a teammate 10 times. You can do this in certain safehouses in single player. Find a safehouse, like the first one in the Parish at the end of Act 1, and incapacitate your teammates by shooting them. Then, use a shot and quickly revive all three of them. Grab another shot and repeat this process a couple times. |
Portal easter eggOn the second level of "The Parish" chapter, when you reach the bar with the jukebox inside, keep skipping through the songs to eventually play the song "I'm Still Alive" from Portal. |
"Crass Menagerie" achievement hintWhile in the saferoom, exit it then go back inside and close the door. Stay in front of the door so that CPU players will not open it. Wait there. Eventually, uncommon Infected will spawn and come to the door for you to kill. |
Shortcut on "No Mercy: Chapter 1"When starting, jump to the edge directly next to you. Follow it to the corner, press LB, then hold A. You should be still in a crouch. Little by little, walk up off the corner until you fall. Quickly hold BACK and you should land on the pipe with no damage. |
The Passing: Dead Rising easter eggOn part 2 "Underground", enter the bar underground and go inside the room with writing on the walls. Look to the left to see the words "out of film no helicopter zombies are too fast not going to make it Frank West" written. |
The Passing: Midnight Riders easter eggAfter exiting the pool room in part 2 "Underground", go outside and immediately run to the fence in front of the road. You can see the Midnight Riders tour bus drive past. |
