Left 4 Dead 2/Weapons: Difference between revisions

The combat knife is one handed and the player slashes vertically when attacking. This is one of a few German exclusive weapons that comes from [[Counter-Strike: Source]]. Anyone can use it as long as someone is playing the German version is present.

The fire axe is the typical red-headed blade on a stick. Like the electric guitar, it is two handed and can be used to behead enemies. It is quite common to find and one of the most reliable, if not slow, melee weapons. It has an extremely wide swing, which can take out a lot of common infected in a single swing.

A very important item, it heals you or your teammate for 80% of the damage taken, but never back to full health. Healing your self or a teammate takes a bit of time, so it's not the best thing to do in the middle of a horde attack. You can use it to do a melee shove for as much damage as any other melee shove, but any other weapon is better for killing zombies. First aid kits always spawn in every safe room and campaign finale, though they sometimes spawn in the level itself like in first aid lockers. On Expert difficulty, most first aid kits are replaced with Pain Pills, so a first aid kit outside of a safe room or finale is very rare.

Adrenaline shots restores 25 temporary health and puts you into a heightened state. For 15 seconds, you will move, reload, heal, pour fuel, revive and switch between items more quickly, do not suffer fatique from melee shoves, makes you immune to the slowdown effect by common infected attacks and let's you maintain your speed while wading in water. As a side effect, you will get temporary tunnel vision and your sound becomes monophonic, which makes it harder to determine the location of infected and other survivors.
