Counter-Strike Weapons

The information in this article/section only applies to the German version of Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2 which can also affect the games of those who play with German players.

"What if just your beard starts to turn?" This article requires testing. You can help Left 4 Dead Wiki by experimenting with gameplay, and then changing it.

Due to the censorship of the German version of the game, Valve has decided to port some weapons from Counter-Strike into the game exclusively for German players to make up for the censorship. Though this is exclusive to those who own the German version of the game. Anyone who plays with someone who owns the German version will encounter these weapons as well.

Notes

• These weapons will do damage if you complete the following routine: Go to the Main Menu. Make sure that the developer console is enabled under options, then keyboard/mouse. Hit the key marked ~ above your Tab key. In the developer console, type, without quotes “maps *”. This brings up a list of all the maps for the game. Type in the name of the map you want to play, c5m1_waterfront, for example but leave off the “.bsp” suffix. Start your map. You will most likely be playing as the character Coach. Hit the key marked ~ again (the one above your Tab key) and type in, without quotes, “sv_cheats 1”. To spawn the four weapons type, separately: Give rifle_sg552 (then click submit or hit enter) Give sniper_awp (then click submit or hit enter) Give sniper_scout (then click submit or hit enter) Give smg_mp5 (then click submit or hit enter). You have now spawned the four secret weapons into your current map. At this point: NONE of these guns will cause ANY damage. In order for these four guns to do any damage, You MUST respawn into the same map. Once you have 'respawned into the same map you should be able to spawn/use the guns freely using the above commands and use them in the following levels.

• The Australian version does not have exclusive weapons, despite being censored as well.
• Strangely, if a player is wielding one of these weapons, it will stay completely still while moving, this can be removed by shooting the weapon one time after each reload.
