⠀⠀ The "Correct" Team Composition

Looking over all the Cleaners with their Passive and Team bonuses, here is the optimal Team Composition (a.k.a. what Characters you should have in your team for the easiest & best performance to complete the game)

The "Completion Guarantee"

Evangelo - runs through the level quickly to not only take care of load zones, but also to get to the safehouse early, as to ensure that if the rest of the team dies, the mission is still a success.Evangelo's player should be the most skilled of the team as they pretty much need to beat the map on their own - solo. Evangelo also gives the team 5% Movement Speed.

The "Team Leader"

Mom - makes sure the team gets as many chances to recover from hordes or hard game events. Mom is the team's Leader, because she can instantly revive a downed Cleaner, and if done fast enough - it can seem like the Cleaner was never downed in the first place, meaning your Team continues to fight in harmony without disruption.Mom's player should have the most map awareness, to be able to notify the team of everything that's going on - a horde being called, mutated ridden incoming & etc. Mom also gives the team 1 Extra Life.

The "Support"Doc - heals teammates, brings defibrillators and provides covering fire to make sure that the team is as strong as possible, the more power - the merrier. If anyone dies on duty, the Doc is on stand-by to bring them back to reality. Doc's player should pay more attention to their team rather than the Ridden, because they need to be confident that their team can handle everything, but their task is to handle the team. Doc can also Heal each teammate for 25 Health once per match (3 Heals total), at any time.

The "Insurance"

Karlee - clears hordes and mutated ridden like it's no problem. Slings a handful of grenades or flashbangs to make sure the team gets out of a sticky situation (or multiple) with ease. Karlee's player should be a sharpshooter, because they'll need pretty precise aim to land all those grenades. Karlee also gives the team 50% Use Speed.

The "Correct" Decks (All Acts & Difficulties) Part 1/2

This is the Mathematically/Statistically "Correct" Deck for Act 1 in Back 4 Blood;

The purpose of this section in XV's Back 4 Blood Mega Guide is to provide the statistically highest winrate deck for each difficulty, for all acts separately.

Originally, I had combined Recruit and Veteran difficulties together as they don't really differ much from one another.

I have always thought that if Recruit, Veteran and Nightmare were called the usual difficulty names like "Easy", "Medium" and so on, Recruit would be "Story mode", Veteran would be "Medium" and Nightmare would be "Expert" / "Impossible".

But now I have combined all Recruit, Veteran and Nightmare together to make an over-all solid deck that works for all three difficulties, or rather works well for Nightmare and then works great for Recruit and Veteran.

Levels to This Act covers the scenes: "The Devil's Return",

"Search and Rescue",

"The Dark Before The Dawn",

"Blue Dog Hollow".

Deck type:

& Use : "Rhythmic Breathing"

+40% Stamina "Cross Trainers"

+20% Stamina

+20% Stamina Regen

+3% Move

+5 Health "Superior Cardio"

+20% Stamina

+20% Sprint Efficiency

+5 Health "Screwdriver"

+50% Use

+10% Stamina "Multitool"

+75% Use

-5% Damage Resistance "Combat Knife"

+50% Use

+125% Use

When injured have a chance to be blinded for 1 second "Energy Drink"

+15% Stamina

+25% Weapon Swap

+15% Move while firing

+10% Slow Resistance

When you get the Headband Magnifier and all the cards before it, you should be set to go for an easy Finale, but if you have an extra card pick, we have the 15th card "Energy Drink" that makes the whole sequence a tiny bit easier, but isn't required, as it's bonuses will be quite minimal at this point in the game.

Justification: Since Recruit and Veteran difficulties are very easy unlike Nightmare, in Act 1, pretty much all you'll need is speed, then, right at the end - on the Finale "The Sound of Thunder", you just need a good bit of Use to be able to load the Howitzer ammo as fast as possible. And also, because Nightmare is extremely hard, especially when playing solo, it is suggested to have a mix of good & Stamina, a good amount of Offensive inventory space to be able to spam Grenades or Flashbangs in cases where a lot of Tallboys swarm you.

When you get "Hyper-Focused" and all the cards before it, you should be set to go for an easy Finale, but if you have an extra card pick, we have the 15th card "Reckless Strategy" that makes the whole sequence a tiny bit easier, but isn't required, as it's bonuses will be quite minimal at this point in the game.

Justification: Once again, Recruit and Veteran difficulties are very easy for Act 2, however the problem is - Nightmare. And also, because Nightmare is extremely hard, especially when playing solo, it is suggested to have a mix of good & Stamina, a good amount of Offensive inventory space to be able to spam Grenades or Flashbangs in cases where a lot of Tallboys or Common Ridden swarm you.

The "Correct" Decks (All Acts & Difficulties) Part 2/2

+10% Maximum Health

+10% Stamina Regen "Improvised Explosives"

+75% Accessory

-25% Swap "Grenade Pouch"

+1 Offensive Inventory space

When you get "Improvised Explosives" and all the cards before it, you should be set to go for an... easier... Finale, but if you have an extra card pick, we have the 15th card "Grenade Pouch" that makes the whole sequence a tiny bit easier, but isn't required by any means.

Justification: This build is made mostly to have as much leeway when completing the first few missions, a.k.a. to have an easier time dealing with a bunch of the annoying events in this game, and then to build up to a very strong deck for the Finale in which You must kill Ogres.

(image):

Level This Act covers the scene: "The Abomination".

Justification: This act is actually very easy, as long as your team takes their time and is careful when dealing with hordes or especially mutated Ridden. It is best if your teammates use Support or Tank decks while You are fully built for damage. It is heavily suggested to either use an Assault Rifle or an LMG and to get as much Magazine Size as possible.

{+|- Loot Room Locations: -|+} Right before second Ogre spawn location, in the red light tunnel.

1-3 // "PAIN TRAIN"

Offensive inventory: Pipe bomb or Firecrackers

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀Pipe bomb is extremely useful in the Grave Filler scene, as it not only takes Ridden's attention, but kills them too;

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀Firecrackers are basically a weaker pipe bomb - doing the same thing without the killing part.

Support inventory: Any

Quick inventory: Tool kit

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀Both spawn locations for the loot room are very useful as having it early can give a great boost for the upcoming swamp part, and the late spawn can give you a guaranteed med cabinet and other things like ammo, for the Grave Filler scene.

Offensive inventory: Pipe bomb or Flashbang

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀The Pipe bomb suceeds in clearing Ridden while crossing the Bridge, getting to the Explosive planting location or while planting Explosives;

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀The Flashbang is very useful against Crushers and other Tallboy variants as they can be especially powerful in this level, even more on the Bridge.

Support inventory: Any

Quick inventory: Stun gun

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀Crushers are quite common and quite powerful on this level, especially if your team has just planted explosives while you're on the ship, if a Crusher grabs you, it may be over for you, that's why a Stun gun is especially good here.

2-1 // "A CLEAN SWEEP"

Offensive inventory: Pipebomb or Flashbang

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀The Pipebomb helps clear common Ridden when going inside the Liquor Store for the first time, or if you accidentally call a Horde during the Breaker fight, it may just save your team from losing the game;

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀The Flashbang is very useful against the Breaker (as it not only stuns it temporarily, but also makes it more vulnerable to weapon damage for some time), all types of Tallboys and especially the Hockers in the Liquor Store.

Support inventory: Pain Meds or Medkit

Quick inventory: Tool kit

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀Both Loot Rooms are available after the Breaker and the second Loot Room is best used after the whole map is done. In both cases they are very helpful as you're almost guaranteed to take damage on this map.

[|[⠀3⠀]|]⠀"The Dark Before The Dawn"

3-1 // "SPECIAL DELIVERY"

Offensive inventory: Pipe Bomb

Support inventory: Any

Quick inventory: Any

In the supply searching part, keep an eye for out dropped, shining Flashlights.

These dropped Flashlights point towards the places where the dropped Supplies are.

You can actually do the supply searching part in a solo-game in less than half a minute with a speed deck.

Best Character: Evangelo

Best Deck Type: Speed

Best Weapon Type: SMG

> and in the case of a Boss Mutation Corruption Card - Sniper, Assault Rifle, LMG.

-=- Missions: -=- Head into town and search for lost supplies.

Get to the Saferoom.

{+|- Loot Room Locations: -|+} After going through the building that leads you to the supply searching part, straight ahead in the building across the street.

In the supply searching part, going to the right of the white van, up the stairs, in the second floor of the building.

3-2 // "THE DINER"

Offensive inventory: Any

Support inventory: Any

Quick inventory: Tool kit or Razor wire

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀There is only one Loot Room Location, it is recommended to get as much max hp (a.k.a. get rid of as much trauma damage) as possible before the Survival section.

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀The more Razor wire, the better. :)

It is highly suggested to take the right side of the Diner and set up a base there, right against the fence. If you place all the given Razor Wires from the corner of the building to the corner of the outer fences (basically a line of Razor Wires), your team will be almost unkillable the entire game, especially if you have a bunch of frag grenades to quickly kill mutated ridden with incase they breach defenses.

You can place the Minigun on top of the explosive barrel (if it spawns) on the right side of the Diner.

To place it: You must look towards the Diner (a.k.a. point the Minigun at the Diner);

Since the fence has a small bit of barbed wire at the top, it will block you from climbing up on the Minigun from the sides, however jumping up (facing the fence head-on), you should be able to climb up on top of the Minigun;Usually, you will be untouched for the entirety of the Survival part.

I'd suggest putting someone with an Assault Rifle, LMG or Sniper on top of the Minigun as it's hard for more than one person to stand on the Minigun.

Best Character: Mom, Walker or Jim

Best Deck Type: Damage or Quick Inventory

Best Weapon Type: LMG, Assault Rifle, SMG

-=- Missions: -=- Deliver the supplies to the Diner.

Repair the Generator.

Protect the Diner (5 minutes - timed Survival mission).

{+|- Loot Room Locations: -|+} After opening the gate that calls a Horde, instantly to the left.

[|[⠀4⠀]|]⠀"Blue Dog Hollow"

4-1 // "BAD SEEDS"

Offensive inventory: Pipe Bomb

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀Since destroying each Nest Node calls an individual Horde, using Pipe Bombs can easily help take care of those Hordes, especially the final one, so you could easily make it across the River.

Support inventory: Any

Quick inventory: Tool kit

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀There is only one Loot Room Location plus it is very close to the objective where almost all of your time playing this map takes place, so You have a guaranteed Medkit.

Best Character: Evangelo or Holly

Best Deck Type: Speed or Tank

Best Weapon Type: SMG or Melee

-=- Missions: -=- Travel to the tunnel checkpoint.

Investigate Holland Farm.

> Destroy the Nest Nodes.

> Destroy the final Nest Node to free the Trailer.

> Get across the river.

Continue to the Saferoom.

{+|- Loot Room Locations: -|+} In the further-most corner of the Holland Farm's main house.

4-2 // "HELL'S BELLS"

Offensive inventory: Pipe Bomb or Molotov

Support inventory: Any

Quick inventory: TOOL KIT

I'd be very surprised if the Devs do not yet know of this,

Take a Tool kit with you to the Trailer flipping part;

Use it to open the Minigun crate;

Place the Minigun a bit to the right of the large orange (weapon) crate where the Trailer is, do it while looking towards the Trailer to make it as easy as possible;

Start the Trailer flipping event and climb on the Minigun (easiest to do from the part where you'd sit while shooting it);

Now - the hardest part - just jump over the fence;

Climb on top of the first invisible wall (roughly the base of the Trailer);

Climb on top of the second invisible wall (to the left of the first one, then you can drop down to continue the mission.

Yep, it's that easy. You literally just jump over the fence, and climb on top of a couple invisible walls to skip the entire section. Obviously unintended, but extremely helpful for speedruns while it's unpatched. Quite a popular trick actually, I'm surprised it is yet not patched as all it takes is extending an invisible wall (or adding one if it has not been added yet).

How does this softlock the game?

Well, you complete a mission that is not yet on the mission list, and there is no second check that checks if the mission of opening the Church door has been accomplished, since the Devs did not expect you to be at the Church door before the Trailer has finished flipping.

There is no second chance to complete the mission "Continue to the Church" besides opening the Church door, and not just opening it like any other door, but holding the interact key to unlock it and starting the Fortification event.

And the game ends only when a specific mission is done, in this case - the Fortification mission, but it has not yet been unlocked, so the check for it being done is not active.

Best Character: Evangelo, Karlee, Holly

4-4 // "THE SOUND OF THUNDER" (Finale)

Quick inventory: TOOL KIT

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀You can skip the only guaranteed Hordes (nest section) by opening the only Loot Room as it has a second floor that skips the entire parking lot part - why? I don't know. The Devs thought it was a good idea, but hey, can't complain until the Loot Room doesn't spawn there.

Best Character: Evangelo, Holly, Mom, Walker

Best Deck Type: Tank

Best Weapon Type: Assault Rifle, Melee

-=- Missions: -=- Get to the Saferoom.

{+|- Loot Room Locations (there may be more?): -|+} In the first floor of the Nest-Infested parking lot, in the same corner of the parking lot, that you'd exit from on the second floor.

6-3 // "TRAILER TRASHED"

Offensive inventory: PIPE BOMB

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀This mission is almost entirely "get from Point A to Point B", so as long as you're fast, you'll complete it with no issue whatsoever, and for that reason, a Pipe bomb is extremely useful, as it can easily clear any Horde of Common Ridden while running.

Support inventory: Any

Quick inventory: Tool kit

⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀Sometimes (or maybe always) there will be TWO LOOT ROOMS in this map, so taking a Tool kit can be very useful for your team as it pretty much guarantees you time to loot every trailer, as there will be at least two Med Cabinets available, so you don't have to worry about Health much.

Community Feedback

Here are a few polls that I need your - the Community's - help on, and I wish there was a built-in Steam feature for this, but I doubt they'll be adding anything like that anytime soon, unless they completely redesign the Steam foruming mechanics.

Should I make a separate "category" for the "Correct" decks, team compositions and etc.?

(link will be here)

Should I separate each "Correct" deck into it's own section for every Act?

(link will be here)

Should I re-order each Campaign Mission's displayed information panels in the following variants?

Keep as it is now: Recommendations, Missions, Loot Room Locations

Recommendations, Loot Room Locations, Missions
