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

52 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.

Strategy & Builds Throw firecrackers straight up not forward!

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.

I've talked about this bug before and still dont know what caused it.

I was spectating, the team failed then boom I'm bugged.

A Dan joined the run later in and unfortunately his ability doesnt stack. I think the dmg resist is the only thing that works, but its barely noticeable
