Utility Buffs give you a way to increase your own or your team's survival with a small boost in your chances. This is usually done to give you the upper hand against the infected and/or to make it easier to recuperate and recover if something does go wrong.
Currently, there are 25 Utility Buffs.
* Indicates that there needs to be an event currently active in order to be able to get the Buff from that event.
+ Indicates that the Buff has a Buff Enhancement that can be applied to it.
For Event Buffs, the Buff/Event Requirement highlighted in green is the recommended way to go about obtaining the buff.
1. Adrenaline Run+
Buff Requirements:
Cost: $3,600 Cash
Required Level: 35
Description:
Gives you infinite Adrenaline effect while either a Tank is alive or you are in water, enabling you to move faster.
<Tank aspect disabled in Survival gamemode>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In COOP, The Adrenaline Run Buff can be helpful as a lower level player looking to gain more survivability while running away from Tanks or when doing Dormant Tanks to make kiting them easier. The benefits that adrenaline itself can provide make it quite useful in any tank focused buff set.
- In Scenario, you're recommended to bring this buff to the Awakening Scenario as primarily the Awakened Brutal Tank is fought in water inside the pools. There are also some cases where you may need to go over to the beach+water area to the west to fight some tier 3 tanks, where you'd want faster move speed to move around better.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
While a tank is alive/you are in water, gain infinite Adrenaline effect.
<Tank aspect disabled in Survival gamemode>
Buff Enhancements that can be applied to this Buff:
- Stress Induced Adrenaline: In survival, tank spawns give 20 seconds of Adrenaline. While Adrenaline is active, gain +10% faster reload and deploy speed.
2. Death Bait+
Buff Requirements:
Cost: $315 Cash
Required Level: 9
Description:
When you die, all common infected will stay eating your body, giving your teammates a chance to escape.
<Body is not consumed>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- As a Controller/Guard player, if for some reason you find yourself dying a bit too often on some Scenarios where you're out there trying to stop the infected from coming through, you could consider using the Death Bait Buff. This is only best done on the Helms Deep Scenario and/or if you have another guard player helping you out in the same area where you're both guarding from the infected.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
On death, aggro nearby CI to your dead body for sometime.
<Body is not consumed>

Instantly cures most bad status effects (poison, curse, paralyze, etc) of you and any nearby teammates upon using a first aid kit. After using a first aid kit, you will also block the next status effect that is inflicted on you.
Tips on Buff Usage:
- With the Dormant Brutal Tank fight, you'll want the Special First Aid Buff equipped in order to block the Fear status given with each tank punch. Do keep in mind that you'll need to keep using a first aid kit after getting hit if you do not want to get feared on the next hit afterwards.
- During some Scenarios, given the Prison/Cleanse Scenarios, being able to heal some bad statuses off can help some survivors out perform their tasks easier without being debilitated by whatever bad status they had before. Do only use a first aid kit with the Special First Aid Buff in these cases where you do feel that your healing will be of help.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
On first aid kit use, cures most bad statuses off you and nearby survivors. You also become immune to next bad status inflicted.

<✖ VS>

In this case, you can also consider it's buff enhancement for when you don't want the rng in what health item is given to you.
- As a Support, the Field Medic Buff is quite useful to have equipped as it means you can save your bounty for defibs as necessary. Just note that if you don't get your adrenaline shot, it might be best to pass along any pills that you get to another survivor in need of a health boost.

<Hanging revives don't count>
<Overall Max HP gain: 2,000>
<✖ VS>

- In Scenarios where the Tenacity Buff is a no go or your level isn't high enough, the |V| War Wounds Buff is a great alternative to use. If you can avoid becoming incapacitated often, you'll be able to gain more max HP and in return have more survivability chances against the infected. For infected that deal very high punch damage based on your current/max HP % though, it might be best not to use any max HP increasing buffs.
- In COOP/Scenario, If you want to be able to become incapacitated to provide bounty for your team but also still want a max HP boost, consider the |V| War Wounds Buff. You can also consider swapping to this buff from Tenacity Buff if say you're affected by too many SICKNESS stacks from a Pestilent/Dormant Repugnant Tank and don't want to become killed quickly from the infected.

- Get it for X Christmas Cookies from the Event Market within !event. Only during the Christmas 2020 and 2021 events.
Description:
When deployed from !buy menu, the generator will emit a constant 200 radius frost field around it, slowing commons/specials move and attack speed in it by 60/30% and crippling them every half second. Affected infected also permanently deal 20% less damage. The generator cannot be moved or recalled once placed.
<Slows from multiple generators do not stack>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_ffgen)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- The |E| Frost Field Generator Buff is quite useful to have around if there are no Guard/Controller players in a COOP/Scenario map where 1 would be normally required. For placing it down in short area maps, it should be placed around the area where the infected would come from. For longer area maps, best case scenario is to use an opening in a wall/room where the infected would most likely come from when aggroing survivors. Make sure you do place the generator down correctly where it should be since it won't be able to be moved later once placed.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
When deployed from !buy menu, the generator emits a 200 radius frost field around it, slowing CI/SI move and attack speed by -60/30% and crippling every half second. Affected infected also permanently deal -20% less damage. Can't move/recall generator once placed.

(Command: sm_ffgen)24. |E| Campfire*+
Event Requirement:
- Get it for X Christmas Cookies from the Event Market within !event. Only during the Christmas 2020 and 2021 events.
Description:
Allows you to buy a campfire in the !buy menu Miscellaneous section. The campfire heals 10 HP a second if below 75% HP, lowers maximum move slow by 10% and increases other heal/regen effects by 15%.
<Campfire base cost: 15 bounty>
<Maximum 5 campfires spawned per round for all survivors>
<Range: 500>
<Multiple campfires do not stack>
<✖ VS>
Tips on Buff Usage:
- In Scenario where the |E| Campfire Buff is seen to be useful, it should be used to help provide HP regeneration for all survivors in the main area where the tank is to be fought. It's also recommended to have the |E| |+| Spooky Campfire Buff Enhancement as you'll be able to prevent a survivor from permanently dying once when its used. Make sure to place the campfire down right to cover all the necessary sections of an area as it could make the difference between a survivor dying permanently upon taking fatal fall damage or not depending on where they did fall. This location case also applies with Shadow Tank's Division (Snap) fury ability, so keep in mind where the Campfire is placed.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
Allows you to buy a campfire in the !buy menu. The campfire heals +10 HP/s if below 75% HP, lowers move slow -10% and increases other heal/regen effects +15%.
<Campfire base cost: 15 bounty>
<Maximum 5 campfires spawned per round for all survivors>
<Range: 500>
<Multiple campfires do not stack>
<✖ VS>25. |E| Biological Obfuscator*
Event Requirement:
- Get it for X Christmas Cookies from the Event Market within !event. Only during the Christmas 2021 event.
Description:
When used, places a device on the ground that renders Common and Special Infected in 250 radius unable to move or attack and take +100% damage. The device expires after 10 seconds. Common Infected affected can no longer body block survivors.
<Cannot deploy if pinned>
<90 second cooldown>
<✖ VS>
(Command: sm_obfuscator)
Tips on Buff Usage:
- The |E| Biological Obfuscator Buff can be used if in a desperate situation where you need to get rid of the nearby CI/SI in a hurry, especially when trying to help another survivor nearby in need of assistance. While it can be good for short term use, if you're on the move though at the time, then |V| Bird Whistle Buff has better usage as a support buff when taking down the CI/SI in a survivor's path.
Benefit in Buff Sets:
When used places a device on the ground, rendering CI/SI in 250 radius unable to move/attack and take +100% damage for 10s. CI affected can no longer body block survivors.
