Left 4 Dead Redemption

Play as Arthur in Red Dead Redemption 2's story mode, but Left 4 Dead 2's rules run the frontier.

Make your way to the 'Safe Camp' marked on the map. Random zombies will spawn and chase you as you travel. Occasionally hordes will spawn and join the fight. Once you make it to the Safe Camp, you have time to rest before a new Safe Camp is spawned for you to travel to.

What you get

• The Director: Left 4 Dead's AI Director watches you. It goes calm, builds up, then sends a horde: infected sprint at you from behind and the sides, with Left 4 Dead 2's "mega mob incoming" scream and horde music.
• The town turns on you: when a horde hits a town like Valentine, nearby townsfolk turn infected too. Story characters, shopkeepers and the gang are left alone.
• Special infected:
  • The Hunter pounces and pins you.
  • The Boomer bursts and bile pulls in more infected.
  • The Tank, a huge brute with Left 4 Dead 2's Tank theme, knocks you off your horse.
• Safe camps: a Safe Camp is marked on your map. Reach it to heal fully and hear the safe-room theme, then the next one is marked.
• Pills and first aid kits drop from the infected.
• The real sounds and music: every scream, moan and music cue is played from your own Left 4 Dead 2 install, in 3D around Arthur. Nothing from either game is copied or shipped.

Good to know

• You need both games: Red Dead Redemption 2 (version 1.0.1491.50) and Left 4 Dead 2.
• Story mode only. The outbreak switches itself off in any online session, and Red Dead Online is never touched.
• The outbreak holds off during story missions and cutscenes, so the story isn't broken.
• Press F9 to pause or resume the outbreak.

Works without Script Hook RDR2, using only the ASI loader Melty installs.
