First thing you need is some type of vocalizer so you can be fully immersed into your character. Right here is a good vocalizer for all characters but we only need it for our vet. http://www.gamemaps.com/details/8917


How to be the worst member of the team
Now this is how you properly become the most useless player on your team.


Your main objective is to become the true way Bill is meant to be played.







Being forgetful, confused, picking ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapons, and hogging all of the pills.
Weaponry and Supplies
For you main weapon it will be the pump shotgun.


NEVER
and I mean never change your weapon!

This weapon is all you will ever use even with the next tier weapons around. Bill doesnt need any of the new age fancy ass weapons that kids these days use! Just a good ole pump will do him.


For anything medical Bill only uses his prescribed pills by his doctor to help with his heart problems.


Do not use medkits, you need to just live off painpills.
What happens if Bill has no pills to heal himself? He dies, duh.

Do not use medkits, Bill has to live off pills only. Which usually means his life is constantly ticking down. (Makes sense for someone who always has a cigarette in his mouth) Best thing to do is to not even pick up a medkit whatsoever
Dealing with the nam flashbacks
Bill must also be terrible not only with his weaponry but also with how he treats teammates.



Friendly fire is a must with him due to his constant flashbacks and his terrible sight. If you see a zombie next to a teammate why shoot one when you can shoot both!

You must also ignore most special infected sounds even when your entire team is screaming TANK! or the witch is starting to growl a bit too loud.


In fact you should get pretty used to dying while playing Bill. Just think of yourself as a deadman walking.

You will also need to start running way to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ far ahead of your team and starting crescendo events before your team even gets to you. Luckily Bill never truly dies as he usually gets lost and manages to lock himself into a closet looking for his pills.

Make sure to alternate this with straying way behind the team to look in every nook and cranny just for some pills.

Is there a tank nearby? One of your teammates being strangled by a smoker?

Ditch your teammates and run as far ahead of them as you can starting any crescendo event and shooting any car alarms while managing to get ganked in a back alley by a group of zombies.

This is were Bill truly shines





Wait waht was I talkin about?

Bill might be the toughest yet most rewarding character to play as. With any real pro team there is always a Bill to even out the good with the bad, hes basically yin and yang.

While the mlg louis and zoey players murder every zombie on earth while the biker guy that hates everything hates everything. Bill balances it out by causing your team to never make it past the finale.


Good luck making your teammates lives a living hell, and being that loveable old coot that every team needs.

NEXT TIME LOOK FORWARD TO MAH NEXT GUIDE:

BIKER MAN WHO HATES EVERYTHING!

pfft, this is very inaccurate. everyone knows that the best weapon for old man is the weird assault rifle and reloads after 30 shots. He walks slowly for being old, and just make him fall everywhere. If he's being chased by a horde, there's a good chance that he'll jump thinking that he's gonna kill one of the zombies but then he falls to his doom.
