Special Infected Tips
Kill the following special infected by using the corresponding strategies:
Boomer – Shoot it in the stomach while keeping your distance.
Charger – Get close to it to prevent it from charging, and then it will only be able to inflict one melee damage.
Hunter – When it is in its pouncing position, use a shotgun to push it back, then shoot it in the head.
Jockey – Get into a huddle with your teammates to prevent it from launching at you, and wait for it to appear. Have all teammates shoot the Jockey at the same time.
Smoker – Get close to it to prevent it from using its tongue to grab survivors from far distances.
Spitter – Shoot at the head, and dodge when it spits.
Tank – Go to higher ground, and shoot at it while dodging it. In Co-op mode, use a grenade launcher for a frontal assault while your teammates fire at its back with shotguns. Alternately, do not try to deal any damage to the Tank, but instead hide somewhere and let the survivor A.I. kill it.
Quick Healing
To quickly heal yourself, use an adrenaline shot and then use your medkit.
Easy The Quick And The Dead Achievement
Adrenaline shots can be found on any level. Use an adrenaline shot then quickly revive a teammate 10 times for this Achievement. You can do this in certain safehouses in single player. Find a safehouse, like the first one in the Parish at the end of Act 1, and shoot your teammates until they are incapacitated. Use a shot, then quickly revive all three of them. Grab another shot and repeat this process a few times to get the Achievement.
Weapon Descriptions
Check the gunshop in Dead Center (first episode, second map) for an accurate description of every firearm in the game (except the grenade launcher).
Guardin’ Gnome Achievement
In part 2 of Dark Carnival you’ll come across a well-lit shooting range with carnival mascot Moustachio emblazoned on it. Also note the yard gnome in the box — your prize for getting 750 points. Get this high score by activating the game (via the red button) and shooting everyone but the blue peanut (you’ll lose points if you hit this target!). Hit the yellow and green Moustachio target for extra points. The gnome (which you may recognize from Half-Life 2 Episode 2) will be released if you get a high score and so will scores of infected, so beware!.
Carry the gnome all the way to the end of the scenario (board the chopper) to unlock the Guardin’ Gnome Achievement. You can drop Gnome Chompsky and pick it back up. You can also drop it in a safe room and it will be there after the break. Finally, you can use the gnome to repel zombies as you would with a weapon.
