Ability Buffs allow your survivor to execute powerful abilities from within. Some may allow you to easily overpower the infected, while others may allow you to have an easier time holding them off with your defense. There are those buffs as well that can let you support the survivors and stop the infected from overwhelming the team.
Currently, there are 24 Ability Buffs.
* Indicates that there needs to be an event currently active in order to be able to get the Buff from that event.
+ Indicates that the Buff has a Buff Enhancement that can be applied to it.
For Event Buffs, the Buff/Event Requirement highlighted in green is the recommended way to go about obtaining the buff.

<You can have more than one revenge target>
<✖ VS>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- If any Tank happens to kill an alive survivor at a critical moment, it may be your best possible chance to use those damage dealing buffs if the situation is particularly good.

- Given Scenario, you may need to time when the |V| Bird Whistle Buff is used on the main tank, depending on what you'll be doing after. If you find the situation doesn't allow for easy use of the buff, consider taking a step back and waiting until the timing is just right so you don't miss out your chance on damaging it after.

<Cannot dash/jump while crouching, walking, incapacitated, incapable of moving or scoped>
<Triple tap WALK key while standing to toggle enable dash>
<✖ VS>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- The Mobility Master Buff is a must have buff on most given buff sets for COOP/Scenario. The ability to be able to quickly move from 1 place to another is a very convenient tool that has many uses. A common use for it is to quickly get out of danger as soon as you're defibbed so you can reduce the amount of damage taken and get right back into the action.
- In COOP, when it comes to map traversability, the Mobility Master Buff makes it easier to move around the map, especially since the double jump action can allow you to get to places higher or lower than you more quickly. This is helpful in instances for when you need to backtrack towards a survivor in need of help.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
Enables you to double jump by pressing jump again in midair or double tap a direction to quickly dash in that direction.
<15 second cooldown for dashing, cannot jump for 0.5 seconds on dash start>

<Cooldown: 3 minutes>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_enrage)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In Scenario, given some main tanks, the |V| Enraging Waves Buff can be combined with the |V| Protective Bag Buff. This allows you to aggro the tank towards you without fear of you being crowd controlled or damaged while everyone else can focus fire towards it.
- Given the Prison Scenario, where a Tier 1 tank needs to be quickly killed and isn't being aggroed enough towards players, you can use the |V| Enraging Waves Buff and aggro it to a safe location so that it can be killed without causing trouble for the whole team.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
Allows you to use a frequency device. All tanks not taunted will immediately reset aggro and focus you for 7 seconds or until device is deactivated.
<Cooldown: 3 minutes>
<✖ VS>

<✖ VS>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In COOP/Scenario, the |E| Courage Buff when used can be a useful way to help survivors who are revived from incapacitation to stay alive for longer. It's worth recommending to use if you're a player who is focused on gaining bounty through helping other survivors. Other Support Players may prefer to use better buffs however, if they are more focused on the general support stuff instead.

<✖ VS>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In Scenario, when |E| Dying Berserk is active, consider your current situation and quickly take action. If you notice that you should be dying near a pile of bodies, position yourself before death so that you may quickly get over to where you need to be dead once it happens. This case also applies when it comes to defibbing or reviving any survivors nearby. If not many players are dead however, you can consider killing nearby infected/damaging the tank as needed in the best possible place before dying.

On lethal damage, live for 6s ignoring defenses/immunities, status, CC, ammo use or fatigue. Taunt all tanks but halve buff attack bonuses. Each use lowers time by 0.5s, min 3s. Medkit use resets time. DB won't end while performing use action.

<Once per round>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_hiddenstr)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In Scenario, given how 1 player would consider using the |E| Hidden Strength Buff, it is often combined with either the |E| Non-Aggression Pact Buff or |E| Sacrifice Buff. If you aim to use HS and have a plan, do it as soon as you can. To better help with HS use, consider dying close to the other survivors so that when HS is used, the move speed slow won't impair you from performing other actions as much.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
If 6 or fewer survivors are alive, you can use the !buy menu to resuscitate yourself if body wasn't destroyed or not dead for over 3 minutes. You'll be revived with -75% reduced max HP and move -30% slower. Both effects decay over 2 minutes. Gain 20s pin immunity.

<Effect cannot be renewed until it wears off>
<15 second cooldown>
<Press RELOAD with adrenaline in hand to get cooldown time>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In COOP, you can consider using the Adrenaline Area Booster Buff to help survivors get out of a tight spot if too many CI are surrounding them, especially in water zones where escaping from them is almost impossible.
- In VS, Adrenaline Area Booster can be strategically used in a few ways. You could try using an adrenaline at the start of the map to get a head start before the infected react. Another way to use the buff is to use it when encountering too much spitter acid in an area you need to pass through or a tight corridor so you can have an easier passage to the next area in the map.

<Radius: 275 units>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_battlecry)

- In the Special Cargo and Paying a Visit Scenarios where most survivors are all grouped up together, |C| Battle Cry has very good usage there. To time its use right, for Special Cargo, wait until you have more survivors alive to damage the tank. For Paying a Visit, consider using the buff when you need puddles to be destroyed more than focusing on the Jelly Tank.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
After shouting an intense battle cry, all alive allies gain increased fire rate and swing speed equal to the number of allies nearby + Battle Cry allies for 20 seconds. Battle Cry's CD is shared between all survivors.
<Cooldown: 3 minutes + 3 seconds for each % gain>

<No effect if a Tank is Desperate/Guarded or to actions that directly kill>
<Once per round between all survivors>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_pact)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In Scenario, having knowledge of when 1 should use the |E| Non-Aggression Pact Buff is essential to using the buff properly. In most cases, its used when there isn't enough defibbing going on with a low number of survivors alive and most players using pact usually use it while alive, either without or with having used |E| Hidden Strength Buff as well. In other cases, where the tank is at low enough health where it could potentially wipe the team without action being taken, using the Pact Buff here can work well.

- Get it for 40 Summer Tokens from the Summer Market within !event. Only during the Summer 2020 and 2022 events.

<Activate from !buy menu, press attack to confirm, or shove to cancel>
<Cannot use if pinned by infected or incapacitated>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_sacrifice)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In Scenario, the |E| Sacrifice Buff should only be saved to be used as a last resort measure. Consider first if you have any bounty left that you can use for defibs or if you can still use some of your buffs for helping out the team, especially if the |E| Non-Aggression Pact or |E| Hidden Strength Buffs were not used yet. If you then must use this buff, make absolutely sure that you know when you're going to use it and how its going to be done, in order to resuscitate the most amount of survivors that are dead.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
When activated, sacrifice yourself and become un-resurrectable. You revive all dead survivors within 500 units with 33% of max HP given as bonus HP and 5 seconds of Moustachio Bless.

- Get it for 35 Summer Tokens from the Summer Market within !event. Only during the Summer 2020 and 2022 events.
Description:
On use, look at an ally/Tank in 1250 units and hold USE to swap places with them. Ally must be <50% HP/down/pinned. Swap takes 2.5s but gives both 5s M. Bless. Tank swap does 100*(tier+1) non-lethal self damage, force stuns it for 1.5s.
<No swap ally/Tank if dying or after another swap for 1/2 min>
<When choosing target, hold ATTACK/SHOVE for only allies/Tanks>
<✖ VS, 3 min cooldown, you+target must be grounded>
(Command: sm_displace)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- The |E| Displacement Buff has a niche use in COOP/Scenario, depending on the situation that you use it for. Within COOP, you can help a survivor at the back get further ahead to the other survivors in front by swapping your location with them if you'll be able to catch up later on. Within Scenario, its recommended use is for teleporting tanks to another location where the survivors can damage it better and/or stunning Shadow Tank when all other CC options have been exhausted when it's trying to use its Division fury ability.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
On use, look at ally/Tank in 1250 units and hold USE to swap places. Surv. swap needs <50% HP/down/pinned. Swap takes 2.5s but gives both 5s M. Bless. Tank swap deals 100*(tier+1) non-lethal self damage, force stuns it for 1.5s.
<No swap ally/Tank if dying or after another swap for 1/2 min>

<✖ VS, 3 min cooldown, you+target must be grounded>
(Command: sm_displace)22. |E| Mechanical Teddy Bear*+
Event Requirements:
- Get it for 40 Summer Tokens from the Summer Market within !event. Only during the Summer 2020 and 2022 events.
Description:
From the !buy menu, you can deploy a teddy bear, where if 2 survivors die in 300 radius, both are resurrected and all survivors nearby heal 10% max health and gain max temporary health. You can recall a bear by pressing USE on it.
<Bear won't resurrect survivors dead prior to deployment>
<3 uses per round, max 1 deployed per survivor>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_mechbear)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In Scenario, where the usage of defibs or bounty in general is limited, either due to tanks killed overtime or external scenario factors, the |E| Mechanical Teddy Bear Buff has good use here. In cases where a strong tank has spawned towards the beginning of a scenario and its likely to kill multiple survivors before it can be killed, using a bear or two can help save on defib uses for later on. Another case where using a bear could be considered is during the later parts of Scenario where there aren't many survivors alive, thus you being alive is important. Make sure to place down a bear as soon as you can before you die, in a location where another survivor can easily die to get the best use out of the buff.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
From the !buy menu, you can deploy a teddy bear. It activates if 2 survivors die in 300 units, resurrecting them and heal nearby survivors for 10% max HP + max THP.
<Bear won't resurrect survivors dead prior to deployment>
<3 uses per round, max 1 deployed per survivor>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_mechbear)23. |E| Radiant Blast*

<Block stagger/pin/most lethal damage when active>
<✖ VS, Once per round, 1 minute global cooldown>
(Command: sm_radblast)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- If you want to consider burst damaging the tank, make sure that you have a few buffs/abilities currently active and that you're able to aggro the tank towards you without it going away. At the point when the tank is about to incap/kill you, activate the |E| Radiant Blast Buff and fire away, making sure that you're able to keep the tank from moving away from you with your aggro. If you can do that, this buff will serve you well in a DPS manner.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
When activated, immobile for 10s, but emit blasts that deals 1000/s (500/s to tanks) true damage around you. It slows infected and they deal -15% less damage for 15s. On end, become unconscious for 10s and greatly slow near non-Tank infected.

(Command: sm_sugarrush)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- Consider that the |E| Sugar Rush Buff is the equivalent to the |E| Berserk Buff in some degree except that this buff is for melee weapons only. For 1 good use, consider the Prison Scenario where you'll need more survivors hitting a prison cage at a critical moment or when the Imprisoner Tank is desperate, |E| Sugar Rush can help make the job a bit easier. For Special Cargo Scenario, you can use this buff to help you get in a lot of damage to the Supreme Duelist Tank, so long as you don't let the tank kill you beforehand.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
When activated, for 20s give 20% melee/move speed, slow resist, 30% less tank knockback, melee ignores fatigue/defenses/immunities. On end, become fatigued for 15s.
