Back 4 Blood - 10 Things The Game DOESN'T TELL YOU

00:00:01.839back for blood has landed the spiritual

00:00:03.760successor for left for dead and for a

00:00:05.759lot of stuff if you know one you know

00:00:07.600the other but not everything hi folks is

00:00:09.760falcon and today on game ranks 10 things

00:00:11.920back for blood doesn't tell you starting

00:00:14.160off at number 10 the money grubber part

00:00:16.320can totally break the game's economy all

00:00:18.640the credit on this one goes to reddit

00:00:20.240user defiant marsupial 419 for this one

00:00:23.359they're the ones that realize how

00:00:24.880overpowered this card can be one of the

00:00:27.279earlier cards you can unlock obviously

00:00:30.000is the money grubber which doesn't sound

00:00:32.399that useful at first glance here's what

00:00:34.480it does though each time your team loots

00:00:36.640copper you gain five additional copper

00:00:39.360stacking up to a hundred additional

00:00:41.200copper here's the thing there are a ton

00:00:43.440of copper pickups in this game usually

00:00:45.440in amounts that are only 50 or 100

00:00:47.520copper but there's a lot of them so the

00:00:49.280effect of this card can build up really

00:00:51.120fast and remember the amount of copper

00:00:53.360you pick up is shared with the team so

00:00:55.360for every member with the card the

00:00:56.960amount of bonus copper you get stacks as

00:00:59.280well so what it boils down to is that

00:01:01.680everyone is getting a ton of money if

00:01:04.400they've all got this card equipped more

00:01:06.479than enough to get everything you want

00:01:08.000of the safehouse stores and still have

00:01:10.000plenty of cash to spare having enough

00:01:11.920money to refill your health top off your

00:01:14.000ammo buy all the secondaries you need

00:01:15.759and get the bonus perks can make the

00:01:17.280game much much easier because even on

00:01:19.680normal difficulty called veteran in this

00:01:21.840game it's not easy

00:01:23.920and number nine is how to play the game

00:01:26.080solo and still get rewards if there's

00:01:28.159one thing about this game it's kind of a

00:01:30.159sore subject at the moment it's the fact

00:01:32.079that you can't really earn supply points

00:01:34.079which is the resource that allows you to

00:01:36.079unlock new cards in single player some

00:01:38.560people just want to play through the

00:01:39.759game with bots and still be able to go

00:01:41.759through the progression track but

00:01:43.200normally you just can't do it in this

00:01:44.720game if you play the solo mode you're

00:01:46.799just not going to be unlocking anything

00:01:48.640some players did find a way to get

00:01:50.240around that though basically forcing the

00:01:52.079game to play with bots in multiplayer

00:01:53.920mode rather than with other players like

00:01:55.759you're supposed to how it works is

00:01:57.360pretty simple but it's not a surefire

00:01:59.280thing reddit user ichiko tatsumura was

00:02:02.560able to pull this off by starting a

00:02:04.159public match entering a game leaving the

00:02:06.640match and starting it up again by going

00:02:08.959to the create a run screen and starting

00:02:10.800where they left off from there it

00:02:12.400doesn't always work but eventually

00:02:13.840you'll get into a game with just bots

00:02:15.840another user offered a slower method

00:02:17.760that seems to work every time user it's

00:02:20.000your boy nate 33 says that you can

00:02:22.480create a match and wait the 10-minute

00:02:24.160time limit and it'll pretty much just

00:02:25.840throw you in a game with bots every time

00:02:27.599both of these options are kind of dick

00:02:29.200moves to the other people playing the

00:02:30.480game and trying to play the game with

00:02:32.000just bots even with the improved ai that

00:02:34.319we're seeing for them now it can be

00:02:36.080frustrating but if you actually have to

00:02:38.080play the game solo these are the few

00:02:40.319ways you can do it

00:02:42.480and number eight is how to kill snitches

00:02:44.080without alerting a board one of the most

00:02:45.760annoying enemies in this game is the

00:02:47.280snitch if you shoot it it calls down a

00:02:49.040horde on you and they can show up at the

00:02:51.120worst time it might seem like there's a

00:02:53.040way to kill these things without having

00:02:54.400to deal with the horde afterwards but

00:02:56.000it's actually possible to kill them and

00:02:57.680make it so they don't call a horde it

00:02:59.599just takes a little team coordination

00:03:01.680basically you want to kill him as

00:03:02.959quickly as possible there are a few ways

00:03:04.720to pull this off one option is to have

00:03:07.040one player run up and melee them and

00:03:08.640then have everybody else shoot them the

00:03:10.159stun from the melee attack should give

00:03:11.680you enough time to put them down before

00:03:13.120they call for backup another solid

00:03:15.360option is to just pelt them with

00:03:16.959grenades not pipe bombs because they're

00:03:19.200on a fuse but grenades which explode on

00:03:21.599impact can do enough damage to kill them

00:03:23.519outright if you got a sniper on your

00:03:25.120team who has some weak point bonus

00:03:26.720damage cards that's also pretty

00:03:28.560effective like may lay a good shot can

00:03:30.640stun it and you have enough time to kill

00:03:32.319it there's a lot of ways to kill a

00:03:33.920snitch but it all really boils down to

00:03:35.519timing you need the team to all start

00:03:37.360shooting at the same time and that's

00:03:38.720basically impossible to do unless you're

00:03:40.319talking over voice chat oh and also if

00:03:42.879you've got the snitch mutation card then

00:03:44.879this is all kind of pointless because if

00:03:46.879it's mutated it will always call a horde

00:03:49.360whether you kill it or not so make sure

00:03:50.959you know what mutations you've got

00:03:52.560active before you try any of this stuff

00:03:54.400if it's mutated it's better to just all

00:03:56.560around avoid them

00:03:58.000and number seven stun guns are

00:03:59.680surprisingly useful don't discount stun

00:04:02.080guns they may not seem necessary but

00:04:04.080they can save your life any time you get

00:04:05.760grabbed you can spend one of these

00:04:07.280things to instantly escape from it save

00:04:09.599them for the right time if you've got

00:04:11.519your team surrounding you and can easily

00:04:13.519free you don't waste it save them for

00:04:15.200when you're either alone or your team's

00:04:16.880incapacitated that's when they're really

00:04:18.720useful and that's all good but maybe the

00:04:20.799best thing the stun gun does is how it

00:04:22.639completely invalidates one of the most

00:04:24.240annoying enemies in the game the hawker

00:04:26.479it's incredibly annoying to deal with

00:04:27.919when they pop up but if you've got a

00:04:29.360stun gun then you can escape from the

00:04:31.120goo instantly without using up the stun

00:04:33.360gun you can escape from the spin attacks

00:04:35.040as many times as you want as long as

00:04:37.040you've got one stun gun equipped i don't

00:04:38.880know if it's intentional or not by the

00:04:40.479developers but it works and we're not

00:04:42.400complaining if you're doing a run and

00:04:44.160these guys keep popping up having stun

00:04:46.160gun on you can make things a lot easier

00:04:48.400there is also a card that lets you

00:04:49.919escape from any grab as well it's called

00:04:51.600breakout and while it's incredibly

00:04:53.199useful it does take a while to escape

00:04:55.280the grab in comparison to a stun gun

00:04:57.120which gets you out instantly every time

00:05:00.160at number 6 is trauma damage one thing

00:05:02.960new players seem to struggle with is

00:05:04.479trauma damage especially with how it

00:05:06.720works when you get hit in this game you

00:05:08.560take normal damage it can be healed but

00:05:10.560also sometimes a small amount of trauma

00:05:12.479damage that you can't heal normally

00:05:14.639happens as well to make matters worse if

00:05:16.720you leave your normal damage on healed

00:05:18.560then the chance of taking trauma damage

00:05:20.560only gets higher there's only so many

00:05:22.400players who just run around try to wait

00:05:24.240until they're just about dead before

00:05:25.759healing but in this game that's the

00:05:27.520worst time to heal because you'll build

00:05:29.120up a ton of trauma damage in the

00:05:30.479meantime so what you really want to do

00:05:32.400is keep your health as high as possible

00:05:34.800yeah that sounds like a big dub

00:05:36.560seriously this means healing damage when

00:05:39.280it appears having a designated healer

00:05:41.520role on your team can make things a lot

00:05:43.199easier but if you don't just try to use

00:05:45.120healing items when you find them

00:05:46.400bandages don't heal a lot but it's

00:05:47.919better to top off your health now than

00:05:49.600save it for later certain medic cards

00:05:51.600can restore trauma and they're crazy

00:05:53.440good once you get them but it's still

00:05:55.759only by so much to remove a lot of

00:05:57.520trauma you need to find these health

00:05:59.280stations on walls these things will fix

00:06:01.600trauma damage so always be on the

00:06:03.520lookout for but because trauma can

00:06:05.440easily build up very fast that makes

00:06:07.360pills one of the best healing items well

00:06:09.680they heal a lot they ignore trauma and

00:06:11.759with certain cards that can be really

00:06:13.120powerful the main downside is that it's

00:06:15.280all temporary health but it lasts for a

00:06:17.199while at least the main takeaway here is

00:06:19.280that healing is important to survive

00:06:21.280don't just hoard that stuff use it

00:06:24.240and number five always have somebody

00:06:26.080carry a toolkit you can unlock certain

00:06:28.319doors and cases with it and on higher

00:06:30.400difficulties having access to some of

00:06:32.000the stuff is almost required so having

00:06:33.680one person carry a tool kit can be

00:06:35.759life-saving seriously unlocking these

00:06:37.759storerooms can make certain sections

00:06:39.360much easier like this room on the diner

00:06:42.000mission it's got a ton of supplies and a

00:06:44.160health station inside these doors always

00:06:46.319seem to appear in the same spot so

00:06:48.319knowing when they show up is important

00:06:50.400that way you can bring a tool kit when

00:06:52.000you need it rather than wasting a slot

00:06:54.080on them all the time the safe bet is

00:06:56.800that if there's some kind of horde event

00:06:58.319coming up this is a supply closet

00:07:00.160somewhere nearby so just keep an eye out

00:07:02.240for them and have somebody carry a tool

00:07:04.319kit and it makes this game a lot easier

00:07:06.800on you

00:07:08.160and number four specialization is

00:07:09.840practically required for the veteran

00:07:11.520difficulty level or higher like veterans

00:07:13.520heart recruit difficulties not too

00:07:15.280difficult as long as you've got a team

00:07:17.039that's awake but on veteran you're

00:07:18.880really gonna need a team that knows what

00:07:20.240it's doing a big part of that is

00:07:21.919specialization it's basically necessary

00:07:24.080to succeed on veteran a nightmare think

00:07:26.000of this like a party in an mmo you want

00:07:28.160your support characters and your damage

00:07:30.319healers here's the general framework a

00:07:32.240healer a scavenger a weak point shooter

00:07:34.639and a shotgun the healer's obvious pick

00:07:36.720a character like mom or doc and load

00:07:38.400them up on cards that improve your

00:07:39.599healing abilities the scavenger is a

00:07:41.360must as well you need somebody to load

00:07:43.120up on scavenger cards and make items

00:07:44.960appear more frequently during your game

00:07:46.479because you will go through a ton of

00:07:48.160ammo on veteran at very least ammo

00:07:50.319scavenger is almost a requirement

00:07:52.240everything else with scavenger is good

00:07:54.319but the ammo is really important the

00:07:56.240other two are primarily damage dealers

00:07:58.960your main concern will be taking out the

00:08:01.120special infected so having someone that

00:08:02.879does a ton of weak point damage is

00:08:04.960important give them a sniper rifle load

00:08:07.120them up with bonus damage weak point

00:08:08.639cards and things that improve sniper

00:08:10.639rifles another thing you're gonna want

00:08:12.479to do for a sniper is the two is one and

00:08:15.440one is none card which lets you equip

00:08:17.680two primaries sniper rifles are great

00:08:20.080for specials but not the best for

00:08:21.599regular zombies so being able to swap to

00:08:23.840an smg or something makes it a lot

00:08:25.680easier to defend yourself combine that

00:08:27.680with the admin reload which

00:08:29.199automatically reloads your weapon being

00:08:30.879swapped to a different and you'll never

00:08:32.479have to worry about reloading your

00:08:33.680sniper rifle again the shotgunner's main

00:08:35.839focus should be on stunning the special

00:08:37.599infected load them up with cards and

00:08:39.120make shotguns better and try to get the

00:08:40.880attachment to make staggering enemies

00:08:42.560better as quickly as you can it's kind

00:08:44.240of just luck if the attachment shows up

00:08:46.000or not but if you want to find the fast

00:08:47.839hp mag the one that increases the bullet

00:08:50.160stumble that's gonna be the way to go

00:08:52.000because it's stuns infected these rules

00:08:53.920don't have to be super exact or anything

00:08:55.680you can do what you want but it's

00:08:57.519important that everyone uses different

00:08:59.040weapons so you don't just start running

00:09:00.480out of ammo seriously the ammo situation

00:09:02.800on veteran can be rough

00:09:06.000and number three two almost necessary

00:09:08.800cards for veteran here are some cards

00:09:10.640that don't necessarily fit into the

00:09:11.839rolls i was talking about earlier but

00:09:13.440are insanely good for veteran difficulty

00:09:15.279or higher i'm talking about these two

00:09:17.279cards specifically uh down in front and

00:09:19.920hunker down down in front is incredibly

00:09:22.240useful for veteran it makes it so you

00:09:23.839don't take or deal friendly fire damage

00:09:26.160while crouched which is a game changer

00:09:28.560friendly fire can totally ruin a run on

00:09:30.640higher difficulties so having a card

00:09:32.240that can eliminate it is great combine

00:09:34.399that with hunker down that gives you a

00:09:36.160bonus for damage resistance and an

00:09:37.920accuracy bonus and it makes crouching a

00:09:39.920really useful thing to do there's plenty

00:09:41.760of other cards you'll want out there and

00:09:43.680it may take a while before you even get

00:09:45.360a chance to unlock these things but even

00:09:47.440if you're only taking 35 percent of

00:09:49.279friendly fire damage on veteran it still

00:09:51.440tacks up pretty quick so not having to

00:09:53.279worry about it is really good just be

00:09:55.519sure to actually crouch though

00:09:57.839and number two the melee chainsaw build

00:10:00.640i'm not really sure how a viable melee

00:10:02.880only build in this game can really be

00:10:05.040but it's fun at least with the right

00:10:06.640combo of cards the amount of damage you

00:10:08.640can inflict can get pretty ridiculous if

00:10:10.640anything you can really mow down a horde

00:10:12.640with melee even if taking on some of the

00:10:14.640special infected can be a pain the key

00:10:16.640cards for this one are battle lust

00:10:18.399berserker and meth head battle lust is a

00:10:20.800starter car that's basically essential

00:10:22.399for any melee build being able to

00:10:24.000restore two health a kill adds up really

00:10:26.399fast berserker increases attack and

00:10:28.959movement speed for every kill you get

00:10:30.399while meth head makes you attack crazy

00:10:32.399fast with the downside being you can't

00:10:34.640aim down sights like at all for a weapon

00:10:37.519you'll want the fire axe it's the best

00:10:39.440melee weapon in the game easily

00:10:41.519everything else is good but the fire axe

00:10:43.360is better combine that with the mean

00:10:45.279drunk and you're even more ridiculous it

00:10:47.120gives you a 75 melee damage bonus but

00:10:49.920disables sprint batter up is a safer

00:10:52.240alternative but the general thing here

00:10:53.839is use any card that improves melee in

00:10:55.839some way the difference is kind of crazy

00:10:57.600when you look at it with all these cards

00:10:59.360just buzz sawing through zombies like

00:11:01.040they're nothing you'll still probably

00:11:02.560end up taking more damage than your

00:11:03.920healing but at very least it's a hell of

00:11:06.000a lot of fun to try out i'm sure

00:11:07.600somebody is going to at some point do a

00:11:10.399run like this and it's going to be the

00:11:12.399most amazing thing to watch ever and i

00:11:14.399look forward to watching that because it

00:11:16.240will most likely not be me

00:11:18.560and at number one the left 4 dead build

00:11:20.800here's one last goofy build to try out

00:11:23.040this one might actually be really good

00:11:24.720though if you're not too concerned with

00:11:26.720precision aiming with back for blood

00:11:28.560being basically the spiritual successor

00:11:30.320to the left 4 dead series it only makes

00:11:32.000sense they'd give you some cars to make

00:11:33.440the game feel a little bit more like

00:11:34.880you're playing left 4 dead there's

00:11:36.079actually a lot of them here the main

00:11:37.519things to look for are any mods that

00:11:39.440disable two things sprinting and and

00:11:41.839down sights yeah there were sniper

00:11:43.440rifles in left 4 dead you could use but

00:11:45.040normally you couldn't aim down sights

00:11:46.640and you definitely couldn't sprint so

00:11:48.160taking these bolts off makes the game

00:11:49.839feel a lot more like playing left 4 dead

00:11:51.680again stuff like quick kill that gives

00:11:53.279you a huge accuracy bonus killer

00:11:55.120instinct boosts weak point damage and a

00:11:57.200mag coupler gives you a big reload speed

00:11:59.680which boosts all disable aim down sights

00:12:02.560and all that it's all really good the

00:12:04.399meth head card definitely makes the

00:12:05.920melee feel closer to left for dead as

00:12:07.519well while marathon runner removes the

00:12:09.519movement penalties for strafing and

00:12:11.200walking backwards just like a more

00:12:12.959old-school game like left 4 dead does if

00:12:14.959you're looking for a more arcade-like

00:12:16.560experience these kinds of cards are what

00:12:18.399you want to go for like the melee build

00:12:20.959going all in on this may not be the best

00:12:23.200for higher difficulties but for just

00:12:24.880screwing around it can be really

00:12:26.000entertaining that's all for today leave
