    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 use melee weapons instead of pistols when debilitating the infected, you can swap out the |E| Zapping Gun Buff for the Hyperactive Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to freeze the infected using any weapon that benefits with the Underbarrel Launcher Buff over using an AWP or a Scout to try cripping the tank for a moment, you can swap out the Deadeye Buff for it.
    • If you prefer to use pistols instead of melee weapons when debilitating the infected, you can swap out the |E| Blunt Force Trauma Buff for the Tactical Reload Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to receive full heals with your first aid kit over reduced heals, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the |V| War Wounds Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to use both your pistol and melee weapon when deciding on which infected to debilitate over using |V| Bird Whistle as a means to earn bounty, you can swap it out for the |C| One Man Armory Buff.
    • If you prefer to have grenades that take a longer time to explode but can seek in on infected over grenades that can instantly explode when hitting surfaces, you can swap out the Frag Grenade Buff for the Seeking Grenade Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to stun infected rather than freeze them, or want to be able to electrocute your infected targets within water, you can swap out the Freezing Grenade Buff for the |V| Electric Frag Grenade Buff.
    • If you want to be able to use your pain pills/adrenaline shot more for debilitating infected rather than your grenade launcher for freezing the infected, you can swap out the Freezing Grenade Launcher Buff for the Field Medic Buff.
    • If you want to be able to get either a pain pills or an adrenaline shot for free rather than earning bounty overtime while you're alive, you can swap out the Survival Payment Buff for the Prescription Medication 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 be able to lay down traps for Special Infected rather than earning more bounty for a moment after healing, you can swap out the Peanut Blessing Buff for the Grenade Trap Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • With the Over Exposure Ability, you can either stun/freeze a tank with one of your buffs, then freeze/stun the tank while it is on stun/freeze cooldown, bypassing it but halving the bad status duration. You can use any buffs that can inflict stun/freeze to get the job done on any 1 tank you want to target for debilitation.
    • If you want to give the survivors some time to prepare for non-fury tank abilities, such as an ability with a long cool down, you can throw a vomit jar on the tank to weaken it considerably with the |V| Corrosive Vomit Jar Buff, Gastric Vomit and Inhibiting Vomit abilities. Then you can shove the tank using a pipe bomb to activate the Berserk Gene ability, preventing the tank from using their abilities, which can help the survivors know when and how to prepare for a certain incoming tank ability.
    • While you're activating your Outbreak ability on the tank, you can continue to debilitate the tank with stun/freeze buffs or other debuffer abilities that can inflict debuffs to further increase your scourge %. This can help keep the Outbreak ability continuing onward until you get the chance to use it again.
