    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the Finale Dominator Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to gain full heals from a first aid kit rather than reduced heals, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the |V| War Wounds Buff.
    • If you prefer to use the Underbarrel Launcher over the grenade launcher or want an easier way to freeze the infected, you can swap out the Heat Missile Buff for the Underbarrel Launcher Buff.
    • If you want an easier way to earn bounty or to not consider the use of a one time grenade launcher buff, you can swap out the Floral Grenade Launch Buff for the |V| Bird Whistle Buff.
    • If you want to have instant exploding grenades over seeking grenades that seek out the infected, you can swap out the Seeking Grenade Buff for the Frag Grenade Buff.
    • If you prefer to use the Underbarrel Launcher over the grenade launcher or want an easier way to earn bounty, you can swap out the Advanced Grenade Launcher Buff for the Dummy Rounds Buff.
    • If you prefer a buff that can slow and then freeze infected for a moment over a highly explosive damaging buff, you can swap out the |E| Sticky Bomb Buff for the |C| Discharger Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the Survival Payment Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your bounty earning, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • If you prefer to earn bounty more quicker through bounty earning actions rather than through quickly earning a stack amount of bounty for a short time after healing, you can swap out the Peanut Blessing Buff for the Hunting Reward Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • If you want to make the most out of your pipe bombs and your grenade launcher projectiles, make sure to be close when your aiming for your infected target with them. That way, you'll be more likely to hit them and will be able to deal close to or the maximum damage to them.
    • If you don't want to have any problems with inflicting the frozen bad status effect on tanks, wait until after 15 seconds have passed of a stun/freeze being inflicted. That way, when you do target the tank again with any buff effect that can stun it, you won't need to worry about not having frozen your target.
