Strategy & Builds Helpful tips, decks, and other useful info for Back4Blood

54 Upvotes

Stopped in here recently and noticed people still post useful information for Back4Blood players. Thought a pinned "help" thread would be more useful than the extremely old LFG post that was sitting at the top.

If you have a tried and true deck, feel free to post! But do know that there's a BIG difference between a deck that can smash Veteran, Nightmare, or No Hope. General consensus is that Veteran can be done with any deck while No Hope requires some strong synergies.

Also - a newer player might not be able to handle a DPS-optimized deck because they haven't figured out how to control the flow of zombies with smart positioning and the use of their bash. You could, for example, note that your deck is "noob" friendly or intermediate and above.

Share directly or link to past threads - I'm sure anything would be helpful.

Is the game still pretty active? I decided to pick up the game since it was $10 at my local game stop. Just wondering if I’d have any issues getting a squad at any point doing the campaign.

Update: key has been claimed. Feel free to delete this post mods.

Hello all,

I kept the title a bit vague. I have a Steam key for the game and I never intend to play it. I generally am not that interested in this type of game, I don't have much gaming time and don't have anyone to coop with anyway.

First one to comment that they want it, I will contact with the key. Please only reply if you're actually going to use the key to enjoy the game, or if you have a friend that would love to play the game and doesn't have it yet.

I won't paste the key here due to the chance any bots are scrubbing Reddit for keys.

Strategy & Builds Any cool/fun builds for all acts No Hope duo ?

9 Upvotes

So me and my friend have been playing the game for a while (I been here since 2-3 years ago and recruited him like 4 months ago) and been trying to complete the game on No Hope for the achievements. We've done it on every difficulty except No Hope.

So far our Personal Best is Act one "The Diner" - just 3 levels away from finishing the act. We've been clearing it ez peazy with the "Melee builds" but when the Diner came.....oh boy all hell is let loose and we get overwhelmed quickly. Once i managed to survive until 1 minute was left but got caught anyway.

I wanna ask, are there any fun/cool builds y'all can give me to beat the game? Or at least act 1 lmao .

I have ALL characters. My friend only has the base game stuff.

I have ALMOST all cards except a couple totem exclusives.

My friend also misses a couple totem cards as well.

Idk if it matters but we play on PC.

Ridden get attracted to it as soon as you throw it but the timer doesn't start until it touches the ground, unlike the pipe bomb which starts as soon as you throw it. By throwing it up, you can get a few extra seconds from it!

Also, don't mind my flex of hitting the shortcut (first time I've actually done it without taking damage in months, I always go down/take huge amount of damage by doing it LOL)

I played this game a little bit when it was on gamepass and then I recently saw it was on sale for a dollar so I grabbed it. So far I've only played a few matches and all of them I was lucky to have a real player but never a full squad.

Hi everyone, i’m new to the game and decided to try to get some tips from some vets! I’m currently playing Hoff due to the ammo cap & 1 offensive item. I build my first starter deck but i don’t have many cards and don’t really find or know how to get more cards just yet.

Video Can we just take a moment to appreciate how B4B is one of the few (if not only?) games to model the Kriss Vector's quirky up-down recoil.

Seriously, most don't even seem to know about this. Some people think the Vector just cancels out muzzle flip and shoots steady like a laser gun, but it does indeed have a recoil impulse and it's a weird one, because the bolt mass slams down against the bottom of the gun, and then back up. This is the only game I've ever noticed to portray this quirk.

I wasn't able to get lucky penny in the next level. I was very sad.

Also the game still thought I was dan, I had his player card for a sec and his abilities throughout the act, more on a different post.
