This guide is designed for a unique game servers - servers heavy modded and servers which allow many players to join at same time ( 25 Player For Coop / 27 Player For Versus )

The content may not be the same in all those famous servers - some commands and tips are not the same - but the same principal and the same game play.

So Lets Discover All The Facts & Tips On How To Play On Those Servers.
▷ General Tips ◁
YOU MUST BE PATIENT AND BE EXTREMELY FAMILIAR WITH THE GAME TO UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY THOSE SERVERS

There are a few Tips such as :

  • Special infected being much harder to kill.
  • Tanks with special abilities.
  • Waiting time in several places on the map ( Called Farm-Time).
  • Ammo boxes with custom effects when opened.
  • Maps are modded and some changes are made.

  • Custom Rank System & Achievements.
  • Friendly-Fire is On & Possibility to get banned if you hurt your Team-Mates.
  • For Vomiting your Team-Mates Possibility to get kicked or slayed.
  • All weapons are modded ( Not same damage ).
  • A Complexe Difficulty-System based on many Facts ( Players,Rank,Custom Boxes... ).
  • Extra Advantages & Powers when you get a VIP.

▷ Coop Mode ◁
Coop Mode Allows Up To 25 Player Max



  • You will only have Pistols when join.
  • At the beginning of each campaign, you can pick up a Medkit at the start. There is Enough Medkits for the entire maximum team of 25.
  • In Alliance you can use The MedKits To Defib your team-mates.
  • You have to use it later to Heal Yourself or Heal a team-mate.


  • Stay with your Team all the time.
  • If you Rush to Saferoom you will probably die.
  • If you Camp alone in back you will die too.
  • Even Skilled Players can't survive alone.
  • Special infected can spawn everywhere and anytime in the map,so they can get you wherever you are and alone no chance to survive.



  • If by mistake you find yourself alone - You can use the AFK Command :
    !afk
  • But to join spectators using this command,you will have to wait for few seconds first - You have to hide and survive till the command execute and moves you to spectators.



  • The Gnome is a nice add in those servers.Because has the ability to Heal Players.
  • You can Hold the gnome for few seconds to generate a little HP or Health.
  • If you are Black & White,the gnome will not help you to get off this situation.




  • The principal point to survive in those servers is : Always Help Your Team-Mates.
  • Your Team-Mates will help you when you need help,and in exchange you should help them too because in those servers no one can survive alone.




  • Try to learn the first Trick To Survive : Push Infected.
  • Not all infected can be pushed,but the majority : Common Infected,Hunter,Jockey,Smoker,Boomer.
  • To Help a Team-mate under attack by one of those special infected mentioned above : Just Push and you will Free him from the attack.


  • SafreRoom doors are always locked and only open by a Keyman.
  • There is a waiting time before the door opens,and its called Farm-Time : Players can get more points and weapons during this time.
  • The timer for the door to be open always changing depending on how many players and how many good guns.


  • Try to avoid opening ammo-boxes inside SafeRoom or Tight Places to not kill your team-mates if it would be a bad ammo-boxe like : HellBox.
  • Don't Spam or Play with the Door to not make the Keyman changes all the time,or make the Farm-Time stops so you prevent your team-mates from getting guns and points.
  • At the start of the round,the door has a timer too.

  • If you have an ammo-boxe and your team-mate has an M60 Weapon and needs Ammo,try to help him and give him the boxe,or deploy the boxe so he can use.


  • Avoid throwing Bombs close to your team-mates : Vomitjar, Molotov, Pipe-Bombs,Gascans,Propane-Tank,Firework-Crates...
  • Always try to be careful before throw and watch-out your team-mates.
▷ Versus Mode ◁
Versus Game Mode Has Almost The Same Tips As The Coop Mode - Just There Is Extra Tips For Playing As Infected


Versus Mode Allows Up To 27 Player Max



  • As infected,there is many Tricks and Abilities you have to learn to do deadly attacks or to make more damage to survivors.
  • We will show you the most hard abilities and those can be done by 2 special infected : Hunter & Charger.
  • VIP Players have Extra Powers & Abilities.




  • Hunter is the most efficient Killer in those modded servers because has many abilities and powers.
  • First of all you have to practice and master the Vertical-Jump & The Ceiling.
  • Those Tricks will help you make the famous Brutal-Pounce and it's an instantly deadly attack on those servers.
  • To perform a Brutal-Pounce,try always to get farther the maximum from the Victim because there is a minimum Distance you have to reach first.



  • Charger is our second killed : either by the famous Catapult attack or the default Pummel attack or The Karma-Charge.
  • For Catapult you will need to Bind the Suicide-Command if you want to use it beside the Zoom-Key.
  • Karma-Charge : just when charging your victim,try to jump with him from a Ledge or A High Place and you both fall down.


  • Boomer is not a killer but he has many abilities : Vomit Survivors,Exploding,Slap,Extinguish Tank When On Fire.
  • Of course boomer-vomit can call a horde of common infected.







  • Jockey is not a killer too but he has some modded abilities like : Jump With A Survivor and this ability can be deadly.

  • In Alliance the spitter acid makes survivors Slow-Down.

▷ Alliance Gifts ◁
In Alliance Servers we have a special add called Gift System…When A Special Infected Dies, they drop random boxes or items. If a player picks that item, he will get a reward based on the model that he picks-up.

Some Gifts Give Guns + Points And Some Gifts Give Only Points


You Have To Be Fast And Pickup Gifts Before The Other Players Do


▷ Guns & Items ◁
Weapons In Modded Servers Are Modded Too And Their Damage And Efficience Is Changed : This Is Applied To The Fire-Guns And Melee Too.





  • AWP
  • Grenade-Launcher
  • Sniper-Scout
  • Ak47
  • Shotgun-Spas


  • M60
  • SG552


  • Sniper-Rifles
  • Magnum-Pistol
  • Auto-Shotgun
  • Assault-Rifles

  • All The Tier 1 Guns
  • Pistols
  • Shotguns


  • Melee Weapons – Having a melee weapon is one of the biggest advantages you can have because you can deal with both common infected and special infected easier. By easier I mean you can seriously kill specials in one hit with a melee. The challenge is that they might hit you first so be sure to time your hits.You can actually deal a lot of damage to tanks with melee weapons but only attack if you’re confident enough and risk dying.

The Weapons Damage May Change All The Time Based On The Game Difficulty And The Infected Type

I am proud I was part of this awesome server. I am a hardcore player in L4D2, the credit goes to Alliance Server.

This server is very fun! I'm enjoying it!
Nugget 12 Mar, 2021 @ 1:03am 
wish i could award the guide with some points

I think most of people no more play in vanilla servers or valve servers because game is boring there. and thanks for your review.
JPXFRD 12 Dec, 2019 @ 6:54pm 
This is a great guide for playing modded servers but this has a negative impact for players who would like to play a normal game or want to play fairly, people would be noobs in normal game plays because players would get used relying to mods that make them a good players, for example, when youre pro using steering charge mod (always getting kills, karma charging etc.) and after some time of boredom, you choose to play in a vanilla server, you wont be that good targeting enemies. Anyways, this is still a great guide especially for people who doesn't feel playing vanilla servers.

nice guide. first one i read ever.

True that playing on extremely modded server does make you really good at the game. There's so many elements of surprise and fun that can affect the outcome of individual and team play
NiTro  [author] 19 Feb, 2018 @ 2:07pm 
those skills or talents you will get in a server like this one...and though i made this guide,of course i will propose to play in my servers...but of course there is other servers with same configurations and you are free to play wherever you want.
Falmingkitter 19 Feb, 2018 @ 12:28pm 
This isn't about becoming a pro, this is one big advertisement for a modded server
kartikins 17 Feb, 2018 @ 4:50pm 
L4D2 gamemode for people who don't like L4D2 very much... but probably better for newer players who want to mess about without taking things too seriously, more of an arcade mode. Nice in depth guide to it though +rep.
