Starting from October 21 2026 until November 4 2026, it seems that the first expansion of B4B will be included in any level of PS Plus.

Blog also says there will be a 95% discount for the other two Expansions and the Annual Pass, still for PS Plus members i think.

Have about 900 hours in this game but haven’t played since September 2023. Got the itch to play again but all of my friends who used to play this game have moved on and aren’t interested anymore. Been posting on the LFG discord with not much luck either.

Know it’s a long shot, but anybody around tonight? Or usually on in the evenings EST? I’m down for whatever. Preferably Nightmare. Karlee/mom main.

Disclaimer: I got an 8 month old and got to afk for about half an hour a night to feed the bugger. Usually around 12am EST. But almost always on ~10pm - 2/3am EST

Thanks

What are your guys best builds? Cleaners, decks and strategies appreciated. I've been trying to beat No Hope while Solo and the furthest I've gotten is to level 10 of act 1.

I don't care if the build is broken or utilizes a glitch as giving the bot the legendary defib is how I got so far anyways. Thanks guys!

5 years have passed since the release of Back 4 Blood 🎉 . This game gave me so many positive emotions, memories, and friends who I’m still in touch with today. I want to say thank you to the community, content creators, and developers this was an incredibly unique experience for many of us. How did you feel about the game at launch, and how do you feel about it now? Personally, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it from the very beginning, even though I had to deal with bugs at times some of them pretty critical (shoutout to ghost bullets and teleporting riddens). Right now, even though it's rare, I still hop on to play and can still have a great time, even after all this time. I’m eagerly waiting for the day the Turtles announce their new project; I want to believe it’ll be something awesome (b4b2 pls?)

P.S. It’s pretty symbolic that today of all days, I will hit 5,000 hours.

I started playing solo no hope recently and I notice that the zombie spawns are super weird.

If I enter an area, clear it, then fall back for a horde, when I reenter that area, all the ridden are spawned in again.

Also I can hold position somewhere and kill like 100 ridden, set off all nearby alarms, throw a pipe bomb, etc etc. But as soon as i turn the corner, like a single corner, there are like 20 more ridden there shambling around. They didnt hear the alarm, they didnt go for the pipe bomb, nothing.

It seems I have to be constantly pushing forward or the random sudden spawns completely overwhelm me. I thought the whole point of no hope was to position well to take out hordes and move.

Is this how the game is supposed to be or is my game bugged?

I'm giving this game another shot after like 4 years, but Ive been in a queue for swarm for like 10 minutes so idk how I'm gonna get the accomplishment that requires 15 games played. ps5 cross play enabled

- better art direction

I cannot put into words how much I hate the "realistic graphics are boring" sentiment that you see so much now but back 4 blood is a game that really does not help kill that sentiment, in fact it gives those people ammo. this game has gotta be the most boring generic hyperrealism i've ever seen from this console generation. there are SOME levels that look beautiful but even then its nothing really outstanding.

- better music

the music in back 4 blood is the most generic forgettable shit i've heard in recent memory oh my god. I think the main menu theme is the only memorable and somewhat good track in the game, everything else is just generic and forgettable with no identity whatsoever

- better sense of style

the UI in this game has no style, no identity, nothing, just generic asf. evolve did it good so I don't know how y'all downgraded this badly

- better atmosphere and writing

this game has the most cringy unfunny dialogue i've ever heard, no seriously, this is the first video game where I genuinely cringed or did a disgust face at some of the lines lmfao I really wanna know WHO actually thought some of these were funny. the game can't decide if it wants to be serious or funny so you get tons of tonal whiplash its terrible. please just make the tone consistant, make the characters talk like real people and not quips every 10 seconds, give them some depth, and you're good.

and again, evolve had some actually REALLY solid dialogue, so I don't know how you guys downgraded so hard

- better game design

the gameplay for the most part in back 4 blood is great but there are so many mechanics that undermine other mechanics like holy shit dude I been playing since launch day and I STILL do not know what some of these icons mean lmao like come on man the game does a bad job at explaining these things. in the next game, if you wanna do this card system thing or anything else that has some depth, PLEASE make sure your mechanics actually have a purpose and don't just throw in tons and tons of game mechanics because a lot of them get in the way and the balancing is just bad, so many problems.

- better sound design

the gun sounds, special infected sounds, etc etc its just mediocre.

- better animations

the animations for things like vaulting, climbing, etc it looks very low budget and janky, I think you guys could've done a better job, please improve this

but yeah thats about it, like I said the gameplay itself in back 4 blood was fucking great, they had that down pact, its just that everything around it sucked lmao but if they make the gameplay as good and the fix and improve what I mentioned then they have a masterpiece on their hands easily bro

shit man

Honestly thinking about picking this up for 10$. I'm not expecting l4d2. But just curious if it's still alive and I can find matches. Also there's 3 different versions. I don't care about cosmetics that much but the difference is a couple bucks. What's the best version to get ?

Me and my brothers have bought three separate b4b codes from g2a and they all gave us the same error. It’s a European key btw.

Saw this is on sale on Steam for $6 and I am considering it. I really enjoyed the first two Left 4 Dead games (as a solo player) but I don't know how they differ from Back 4 Blood. I know B4B uses cards, what else does it do differently? Overall thoughs on it?

With all of these clips of people porting spiderman to batman arkham knights and MW4 into minecraft it Got me thinking if porting the back 4 blood gameplay mechanics into left 4 dead 2 like the cards, the infected (maybe) , the weapons and attachment system with the rarity system using AI would be possible and if it is I was wondering what your thoughts were guys seeing as My only criticism of the game is lack of content maps guns and new cards but with the porting of the systems to left 4 dead 2 there's a lot of maps there and the modding scene is so big we could get new guns attachments and most importantly new card and effects.

So what do you guys think?

Bought the ultimate edition as part of the Back 4 Blood Ultimate Edition + FEAR Collection Bundle on Steam. Logged in to the game and found out I don't have any new titles, sprays etc and can't pick the battle hardened skins. Any one experience this before? or do I have to progress further in the game to use them?

Edit: A link to the bundle which clearly states that ultimate edition is clearly what is provided/ However looking at the bundled items closer, it only includes the base game and the annual pass, so how am I supposed to know I got the Ultimate edition of the game?

Edit 2: After some back and forth with WB games support. They just sent me a steam key to redeem for the ultimate content. Reach out to them and they should be able to help anyone else who may have this problem.

finally someone made a easy to use calculator -
Back 4 Blood damage

Was in the level where you have to turn on the jukebox and defend the bar and this player managed to fill the room with barbed wire.

I doubt there is a hidden stash with that much wire in it - so is he using an exploit or a glitch at all to do this?

I haven't played the game in ages and it was my first time back. Kind of curious to see people doing stuff like that or if its a known glitch for that particular bit of the game?

Something the game lacks is invulnerability seconds. It has happened to me several times that when I get incapacitated and the bots revive me just when there's a horde or a tallboy, they incapacitate me again because the game doesn't give you a few seconds to escape, especially on higher difficulties.

In L4D2, at least they give you about 2 seconds to push and do something.

i don't understand why this game getting so much hate bro it is FIRE! btw where can i find this "card system" everyone keep mentioning? been playing for 8 hours, haven't come across it yet

Hi, i m looking for ppl to play through the campaign, i m currently on ACT 1 bad seeds nightmare running a melee build from what i have, i play crossplay

Hi! My friend and I are trying to beat the game on Nightmare difficulty so we can earn the last trophies we need for the Platinum Trophy on PlayStation. We're looking for a good card build that can help us get through Nightmare difficulty. Any recommendations?

Anyone here have any idea how one could possibly take the hocker slime/web particle effect for use in Left 4 Dead 2?
