    Notes:
    • If you prefer to use chainsaws over katanas as a melee weapon against the infected, you can swap out the Ninja Buff for the |V| Gory Killer Buff.
    • If you prefer to use Rifles/SMGs over other types of weapons, you can swap out the |Q| Piercing Bullets Buff for the Ranged Expert Buff.
    • If you want to stop cripples from common infected with a buff enhancement over preventing fatal damage on you in specific circumstances, you can swap out the |E| Fatal Guard Buff for the Steadfast Aim Buff.
    • If you prefer to give survivors movement speed buffs over having a chance to free yourself from the SI pinning you, you can swap out the |E| Free Spirit Buff for the Adrenaline Area Booster Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the |E| Pain Moderation Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your buff usage with buff enhancements, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • if you prefer to give yourself extra uses with a knife against specific special infected over using a powerful chainsaw, you can swap out the |V| Gory Killer Buff for the |E| Knife Recycle Buff.
    • if you want to be able to help out your fellow survivor by transferring bad statuses to yourself with a buff enhancement over being able to give AOE heals with pipe bombs, you can swap out the |E| Healing Pipe Bombs Buff for the |E| Bodyguard Buff.
    • If you prefer to use M60 Rifles for their fast firing speed over a grenade launcher that can shoot rocket projectiles, you can swap out the |C| Rocket Launcher Buff for the |C| Spin-up M60 Buff. If you instead prefer to be a powerful shooter with an AWP/Scout, you can swap out either buff for the Deadeye Buff.
    • If you prefer to have resistances to slows over preventing bad statuses, you can swap out the |E| Reactive Inoculation Buff for the |E| Slow Resistance Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • Since most of the buffs are considered to be defensive in nature, be sure to use good combination of them to get the most out of aggroing the infected. This can be in the form of a chainsaw or just blasting the infected with your rocket launcher for crowd controlling.
    • If you need to give the survivors some help against the infected from the back end, be sure to stay behind to help those survivors who need to catch up, some of the buffs here are useful for dealing with special infected who try to pin you down.
