    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    • If you prefer to have passive ammo regeneration while moving over faster manual reloading with your primary weapon, you can swap out the Tactical Reload Buff for the |E| Bullet Scavenger Buff.
    • If you want to be able to hold off the infected while you take them down with your automated machinery and ranged weapons, you can swap out the Chainsaw Dumbass Buff for the |E| Repulsion Wall Buff.
    • If you prefer to have AWP/Scout sniper rifles giving you ammo on kill rather than through saving it with the M60 Rifle, you can swap out the M60 Dumbass Buff for the Deadeye Buff.
    • If you want to have more support against the infected, rather than benefiting from chances to save ammo, you can swap out the Dummy Rounds Buff for the |E| Charger
    • If you prefer to use AWP/Scout sniper rifles over M60 rifles, you can swap out the |C| Spin-Up M60 Buff for the |E| Cupid's Arrow Buff.
    • If you are in any map that does not have a mounted minigun or you'd like to have an underbarrel launcher that you can refill charges with, you can swap out the Heavy Gunner Buff for the Underbarrel Launcher Buff. If you instead prefer to level up any class at class level 4 to class level 5, you can swap out either buff for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • If you want to save primary weapon ammo rather than load your clip size ammo before using your weapons again, you can swap out the Sideloader Buff for the |V| Gory Killer Buff.
    • If you prefer to have a faster firing drone that also gives support against CI rather than a more damaging drone that only supports against SI and tanks, you can swap out the |V| Assassin Drone Buff for the |E| Helping Drone Buff.
