    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • If you want to get a high amount of overall damage on 1 tank using melee weapons, be sure to take pain pills or an adrenaline shot to activate the Hyperactive Buff. Then activate your Berserk Buff and be sure to remain as close to the tank as possible so you can effectively deal damage at close range.
    • Be sure to save your buffs for situations where they're needed to save the survivors and/or if they're needed to help make the infected easier to deal with. It'll really help out your team.
