    Notes: 10
    1. If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    2. If you need a way to save the survivors from wiping, you can swap out the |E| Weak Point Spotter Buff for the |E| Non-Aggression Pact Buff.
    3. If you prefer to use a more powerful water pistol over a zapping gun when up against tanks, you can swap out the |E| Zapping Gun Buff for the |E| Pressurized Water Gun Buff. If you instead find that using a turret would do you a better job of taking care of the infected, you can swap out either buff for the |E| Slaying Automata Buff.
    4. If you want to be able to use your shotguns more without problems caused by knockback and/or you cannot afford the bounty for vomit jars, you can swap out the |V| Corrosive Vomit Jar Buff for the |E| Super Moustachio Bless Buff. If you instead need a way to be able to save most dead players in exchange for your life, you can swap out either buff for the |E| Sacrifice Buff.
    5. If you prefer to be able to be incapacitated and/or find that having full first aid kit heals helps you better in your survivability, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the |V| War Wounds Buff.
    6. If you plan on using tier 1 shotguns instead to deal damage to the tanks or if you don't need the tank punch stun protection given the buff enhancement, you can swap out the Unstoppable Buff for the Deadly Shove Buff. If you're instead are levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, you can swap out either buff for the |Q| Prowess Buff.

If you instead want to be able to fire shotguns faster for sometime, you can swap out either buff for the |C| Battle Cry Buff.
    8. If you find using the |V| Double Barrel Shotgun Buff more comfortable for damage dealing over the tier 1/2 shotguns with the Compressed Shell Buff, you can swap the buffs.
    9. If you know that there's a scenario where the use of the |C| Discharger Buff is highly appreciated, you can swap out the Dummy Rounds Buff for it.
    10. If you want to spawn out a pet charger to help you take care of the infected or want to have an additional pet that gives you the additional fire power, you can swap out the |V| Assassin Drone Buff for the |E| Charger Pet Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • With the shotguns, to get the most damage out of them, wait a bit with your aim before firing at the infected in question. Firing with the shotguns when the tank has knocked your aim away will result in you either dealing less damage or not hitting your target at all.
    • If you can't do anything much in the way of damage, go help out your teammates instead. The buffs that you have available to you should be able to help you get yourself and your teammates out of most bad situations you face.
