[@carljohan9265]

There was a team of speedrunners that did a charity event where they did all the L4D2 achievements in one stream, and they actually got Valve to help them out with being able to get one that's impossible, which is to play through a full campaign with a new player on a free weekend (Valve made the game free for the weekend when they held their stream). They also enlisted the help of the people from the Gold Miners discord to do gold medals on all the survival maps. You should check out the video about it's it's an amazing event they put together. It can be found on WaifuRun's YT channel.

I will NEVER forget when I completed Dark Carnival on expert, and my friend who I did it with was shouting "YES! YES! YES! YES!" in the mic, relieved to never have to touch that achievement evet again 😂

[@atk1152]

it's weird how Dark Carnival only give you bile bomb during the motel section, so one of the team have to hold on for that bile bomb to make the chapter 4 gaunlet easy

[@gabeforgot0]

there a bile bomb in the building after the safe room before the concert. it’s either by the bathroom or the entrance to the stage

[@Marin_Karin]

Sometimes we get blessed and get two bile spawns in the motel for the coaster and the gates, but if it's on pubs they end up using them immediately.

[@JAiZYouTube]

It's also not guaranteed. There's a 24% chance that you don't get a bile in map 1, and a 2.25% chance that you get 4.

[@Bhargleyargle]

I did it without the bile bomb once, took me 3 days

[@duck74UK]

You should try it's pc achievements if you want to add a nice layer of suffering ontop of this. 43 survival maps, all must be survived for 10 mins. survive a map for 30 minutes, and a few skill check achievements were added. Not impossible, only a little hard, but man they can drain you if you struggle with survival mode

[@-claymore-.]

I died 7 seconds from getting 30 mins, after a friend in my call joking about dying seconds before getting it. 😢

The Parish Chapter 4 grind is real. Dark Carnival is ridiculous because of the one part but nothing compared to getting Still Something To Prove. It was such a grind I simply wanted my friend to get it. When and if I died I told him to go on without me. 😰 And we did this offline with two bots, (An achievement in of itself).

this was an awesome video, tbh they should at least add another game mode like a game mode idea I had when I first played Left 4 Dead 2 called Race, the gimmick is you have to race through an entire campaign, each chapter you have a certain amount of time to get to the next safe room and the person who would place first would get 10 points, 2nd 7 points, 3rd 5 points, and 4th 3 points, and whoever had the most points at the last chapter would win the game

I got the Expert achievement by playing Mutations, since I don't have friends. I did Dead Center with Gib Fest, which gives you infinite ammo M60s, and the rest with Last Man on Earth, where you play on your own but there are no Commons, just Specials.

I've done this achievement the cheesy way I used the last man on earth mutation basically it took out all the infected and only left the special inflected when it came to the final there's a god/glitch spot behind a air con on top of the main room just crouch behind it tanks will die automatically jockeys and chargers will spawn together I kill the jockeys and leave the chargers because they have to charge up there attack before using it again so they will end up running off sometimes also with the air con glitch the only special inflected that can grab you are hunter's jockey's and smokers

if you want to easily beat the crescendo event at Map 4 of Dark Carnival, just grab an auto-shotgun, sharp melee; Axe, Katana, and Machete will do you best, pipe bomb, and adrenaline, gather 2 gasolines on the way; this will clear out the horde for you, put one at the stairs and the other one in front of the two bathroom stalls, shoot it when the horde sets foot to the zone of the gas, once gate has opened, get half-way and use the pipe bomb then use the adrenaline, then just chop your way into the saferoom, if you only have the pipe bomb, chop half-way, and throw the pipe bomb, get your shotty out and clear the upcoming ones, easy as that

This game can still be bought for Xbox, and I think the reason it doesn't have a 60fps+ patch or an update is because of licensing issues. I think EA helped Valve publish it on Xbox. It's probably like how Hexen and Heretic are owned by Activision - through their malicious enslavement of Raven Software - even though they had no involvement whatsoever in their development. I know console gamers like to settle for less, but I actually have standards and expectations, so 60 fps is the minimum for me. The only reason I don't play any of the games as much is because of the frame rate cap, and I don't have a PC.
