    Notes: <top>
    • If you don't own the Goggles Buff, you can swap it out for the Cheap Goggles Buff.

You can also swap it out for the |E| Weak Point Spotter Buff should you prefer to ignore defenses/immunities on the infected.
    • If you want to have a chance to deal damage to the infected before you die over being saved by Guardian Moustachio, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • Try to stay around with other survivors in close proximity if you are attacked by the infected. They can help you out with staying alive and making sure that you're doing alright.
    • If there are any dead survivors and you have the bounty to spare, you can help out by using a defibrillator to resurrect them back to life. Not only will you get some bounty back for reviving them, but you will also get their appreciation.
