    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 have a buff that gives healing and clears bad statuses with a shorter moustachio bless duration over a buff that gives a longer moustachio bless duration given that they both will try to save you from lethal damage, you can swap out the Guardian Moustachio Buff for the |V| Guardian Dispenser Buff.
    • If you prefer to stop the infected from pinning you rather than prioritizing tank aggro as a survivor, you can swap out the |E| Tank Duelist Buff for the |E| Knife Recycle Buff.
    • If you prefer to support the other survivors and yourself by removing slows easier with a buff enhancement over haivng movement abilities, you can swap out the Mobility Master Buff for the Adrenaline Area Booster Buff. If you instead don't want to get crippled by the CI with a buff enhancement, you can swap out either buff for the Steadfast Aim Buff.
    • If you want to have crowd control immunity after healing over having more knives to fend off pinning SI with, you can swap out the Knife Bag Buff for the |E| Super Moustachio Bless Buff. If you want to instead be a good survivor to another survivor you bodyguard by taking care of bad statuses with a buff enhancement, you can swap out either buff for the |E| Bodyguard Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to have more prevention against any particular bad status with a buff enhancement over having multiple uses with the Health Dispenser Buff you can swap it out for the |E| Reactive Inoculation Buff.
    • If you want to be able to buy any item that puts you into negative bounty, having enough cost with an enhancement over being able to auto-use a defib to resurrect yourself with a buff enhancement, you can swap out the |E| Auto-Medical Buff for the Hunting Reward Buff.
