Excellent, it's readable now! takua108 10:24, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

For the Cr0wnd achievement, does the Hunting Rifle actually kill her in one headshot? I've heard others say in-game that it doesn't work, so I thought Valve may be releasing an even stronger sniper rifle with the full game. Thoughts? Ashsflames 21:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)


 * No. Use the auto shotty, and sneak up on her from behind. 71.234.0.170 18:33, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Another question from me, after getting the Outbreak achievement. How do you actually "get" the achievement? The way I got it was, a Boomer vomited on me during the Farmhouse Finale level, and it gave ME the achievement. There was no noticable effect on the gameplay after "catching a rare strain of infection" like the achievement said, and I didn't pass it on to anyone, because noone was nearby. I'd like to know what the trigger is, if anyone figures it out. Ashsflames 18:07, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You get it by being vomited on by another player who already has the achievement. Smiling Jack 00:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, I don't think so. When I got this achievement, I had not played any versus at all, but I did get vomited on by a Boomer. 71.234.0.170 18:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * To answer all of you, Valve originally had a few players start the game with the achievement. The only way to get the achievement is to be vomited on by someone who has it. Thus it theoretically is exponentially passed on. If you don't have it, play versus and you'll get it after a while. And I think you might be mistaken cause the achievement is Player to Player, unless there's some unknown part of this I've yet to find. ATF Dispenser 01:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

If I get a disk copy of L4D for my PC, can I still unlock acheivements? Thanks!


 * Yes, you should, depending on if it has already been used or it is pirated. Also, should we have an "Obtaining achievements" page, like on the TF2 wiki?TF2wiki.net -- « Ҳ έ    йőρңµ    ήķ»   08:26, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Pictures
Valve has released statistics on the achievements. The page also includes pictures regarding every Left 4 Dead achievement. We should upload the pictures. ShadoW 22:13, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I agree. I'm gunna fiddle around, have a look, see if I can make a new layout. Smashman2004 14:41, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Here it is! New Layout.
User:Smashman2004/Achievements I'm going to implement it now. If anyone disagrees just say so here. --Smashman2004 16:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You win the Internet! Excellent work. =D --takua108 17:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's wrong. The achievement in Dead Rising is for killing 53594, and there is no special ending after it. --HarrisonH 17:26, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Nope, there isn't. I wish there would be, though...69.12.204.112 04:37, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

It was a joke at Dead Rising.. The achievement on dead rising if for 53,594 zombies, VALVe decided to go one zombie better than them Akkryls 19:58, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Akimbo Assassin
There must be some other limiting factor, as I made a point of not picking up a primary weapon (and even throwables), and not touching miniguns. I don't think I picked up any gas cans, etc. Some possibilities that come to mind:
 * Use "push" with medibag. I did this (in healing other survivors; with no zombies around). Most likely cause, in my mind.
 * Shove zombies off roofs. I did this. A misfeature.
 * Opening doors into zombies?? I'm not sure about this, but zombies don't seem to like it. A misfeature.
 * Other obscure no-nos?
 * Bugs?? -23JAN2009

All 4 Dead
I have been working on getting the All 4 Dead achievement. I have killed all 4 survivors twices, once by knocking them off the roof at the No Mercy finale, and then by just beating them to death. I haven't recieved the achievement yet. Why did it not give it to me, and what do I have to do. I have L4D on XBox 360. Garrett
 * You need to at least incapacitate all four Survivors; killing them is, needless to say, fairly difficult. I got it recently on Blood Harvest after incapacitating everyone, myself.  I never thought I'd get it, honestly.  I wish you luck, though. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 04:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I got it on the Train Station level of Blood Harvest. I smacked that alarmed car and got 2 of them. Ran up, hit it again and got a third survivor (and somehow killed the 2 previously incapacitated). Smacked it once more and got the final survivor. -User:Snakexdude

I did that too. On No Mercy, I became tank right before the survivors hit the stairs for the safe room. I smacked the car and hit 3 of them, and smacked car again and incapped the 4th, still didnt give me achievement. Maybe I am not meant to have the last achievement. Garrett
 * You'll get it sooner or later. I'm sure everyone does.  You just have to keep playing, and don't worry about it.  I find that getting stressed out over a game only hinders your ability to play well. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 22:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I got the achievement at the top of No Mercy Level 4. The tank spawned just as the survivors got out of the elevator, and I was it. I waited for them to come around the corner, and hit the forklift at them. I got three of them, then hit the forklift again at the other survivor. I then got the achievement. -TheEliminator16

Barf Bagged
Are you guys sure you can't explode an the survivors? 'coz i got the achievement because i puked on three of 'em and the last one shot me,making me explode on him.The great molerat. 19:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

This achievement seems to be tempermental at times... I've barfed over all four survivors and exploded over all four and I still haven't got this one yet... Akkryls 20:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

A very good place to get this achiecement is the farmhouse finale in Blood Harvest. The survivors may huddle in a corner together in the house before calling for help and thats the perfect time to strike. Not only can you barf fast on them you usually can run away to strike again later and just take them all out.
