10 Unique Video Game Difficulty Modes That Will Break You
4. Left 4 Dead 2 - Mutations
One of the best co-operative experiences available, Valve’s Left 4 Dead series has a solid player base to this day thanks to its procedurally generated AI system and almost limitless skill ceiling.
Added in the second instalment of the series along with The Passing DLC campaign, Mutations are specially modified versions of the campaigns that initially changed every week, but are now available to be freely selected. The first few came directly from the developers themselves, but soon after they incorporated fan made Mutations created by community members.
There are twenty Mutations including:
-Bleed Out – Your health continually depletes
-Last Gnome on Earth – The players must carry Gnome Chompski through each level to the finale
-Hard Eight – Special Infected spawns increase from four to eight with a reduced respawn timer
-Taaannnkk! – Every Special Infected is a Tank
-Gib Fest – All players have M60s and Magnums with unlimited ammo
These are just some of the possible options that players can choose from, everything from unadulterated zombie slaying to unrelenting difficulty. As much as L4D didn’t need any help to prolong its lifespan, Mutations do a great deal in extending its longevity.
