All Left 4 Dead Cheats and Tips - Latest First.

Skip the Lift

When you reach the part in the 'No Mercy' level where you get to the lift and it calls a horde go all the way to the left of the lift instead and there will be a garage door a different size. If you keep hitting it it will eventually break leading you into the next area allowing you to skip the lift.

Unlock Rocket Launcher

This weapon will become available at the beginning and middle of every level when you complete the game on any difficulty setting.


Guns and reloading

Shotguns (the pumpshotgun and the autoshotgun) use single bullets, not clips like the rest. Therefore, firing a shot or two and then reloading will keep you from having to reload during a horde attack. The rest of the guns should be reloaded whenever 1: you have time, and 2: the load in the current clip is lower than 3/5, except the hunting rifle, which suits better with reloading when 2/5 is left.


Fast Melee

To double your melee speed rapidly tap 'Melee' and 'Weapon Switch' repeatedly. Using this technique will help you complete the game on the Expert difficulty when you get attacked by hordes of zombies.


Invincibility while Reloading

This can be achieved by pressing 'Reload', then holding 'Melee' to knock back attacking zombies while reloading your gun.


Zombies

Boomer

Explodes causing temporary vision blur.

Tank

Throws huge items at your party, deals huge damage. Hard to kill. Easiest to kill with molotov cocktails.

Smoker

Grabs you with his tongue, get a teammate to shoot it.

Witch

Ignore the witch, startling her results in near certain death.

Hunter

Pounces, shoot multiple times to get it off.


No New Weapons

On the back of L4D it says 10 new weapons than the demo, BIG LIE I've beat the game 4 times in all campaings and in all difficulitys and all achievements and nothing just M-16, autoshotty, and Hunting Rifle but nothing new.
