Description
Common infected without the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

So what's up with this?
This is a set of mutations that I have created for one simple purpose: to have gameplay featuring only common infected. So what's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you ask? Well, unlike every other "common infected only" mutation/mod I can find: this one features none of the following extra crap:
  • NO common infected buffs/nerfs
  • NO survivor buffs/nerfs
  • NO changes to weapons spawns/stats
  • NO mandatory Tanks or Witches
  • Gameplay changes do not leak into other gamemodes
That's right, this is completely vanilla gameplay, except with no special infected whatsoever. And that includes on custom events and finales. So no getting stuck at events because the Director is waiting for you to kill a Tank that never existed to begin with.

That all being said, this version provides the following modes...


Horde Walker
A leisurely stroll through the infection. This is straight vanilla gameplay, except no specials, of course. Nothing else has been changed, so go ahead and run along at your own pace. Good for practicing common boosts, shortcuts, or just general map speedrunning in a more natural setting than you can get with console cheats!



Horde Runner
Here's where things take an interesting turn. No special infected will spawn. However, once you leave the saferoom, the Director will begin relentlessly spawning common mobs with little to no cooldown. It turns every map in the game into one long gauntlet event!



Horde Sprinter
What's that? Common infected only is too easy? You're breezing through even with an eternal gauntlet event? Well try this out on expert! The Director will trigger a panic event once you step outside the saferoom. However, the common infected spawning will never, ever ebb down. That means NO breaks to heal, pick up incaps, scavenge, nothing. Oh, and the zombies will also always try spawning directly in the survivors' way. Hope you have good grenade skills!



For more variations, check out the Common Infected Only Mutations collection.



Known Issue:
  • VGUI graphics are temporary placeholders that I'll get to later.
  • If you begin a custom scripted finale or event (i.e. Swamp Fever's finale) while a currently running panic event is waiting to end, then the currently spawned infected will count toward's the finale's first panic wave, causing it to end prematurely. This currently only affects the Horde Sprinter mutation.
I know about this problem, but this is literally my first second time writing in Squirrel so if there's some fix to this I'm not bothered enough to figure it out.

I can't believe i played the L4D1 Campaigns as a lonely louis for like 2 hours straight, maybe 3 or 4. I went throw anger, hate, insaneness, sadness, and satisfaction. It was fun, but my eyes are red and I'm tired.
