Left 4 Dead/Weapons

The weapon selection in Left4Dead changes as you progress through each "Movie" (aka "Campaign").

Each survivor player starts the game with a Springfield Armory M1911 pistol. An important thing to remember with the pistols is that they have infinite ammo; this makes the pistol a great weapon to turn to when you are low on ammo for your main guns.

In the beginning of a Campaign you start out with the choice of an Uzi submachine gun or a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun. As the players progress through each Campaign Chapter, new weapons can be found or will spawn in the safety rooms at the beginning of a chapter.

The new, more powerful weapons are the following:
 * The M16A3 assault rifle
 * Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun
 * Ruger Mini-14 rifle

Throughout a level you may also find Pipebombs and Molotov Cocktails. The Pipebombs are best used to distract incoming horde rushes, as all zombies are attracted to the bright flashing light and beeping sound that the Pipebomb emits before it explodes. Molotov cocktails are great for creating areas of intense fire to burn incoming zombies or zombies in a large area, as well as quickly kill Infected such as the Tank.
