TEAM SPIRIT

As withany
multiplayer
game, Back 4 Blood
is easier, and much
more fun, with
friends. Bots and
randoms can be
unreliable,so plan
over Discord, and
pick characters
whose unique perks
complement each
other and your
playstyles.

Drawn cards persist foran entire
run in Back 4 Blood, andthe first
card in your deck activates automatically.
That means youshouldmake this your
most powerfulcard so youcan make the
most of its top-tier bonuses, and stick
your weakestcards at thebottom.

BACK 4 BLOOD
Play your cards right to beat back the ravenous horde. By Harry Shepherd
BUILD A DECK IN
SHORT SUPPLY

When you start you’ll be given
several basic cards. You can get
more, and expand your choice of buffs
and improvements,by progressing
Supply Lines in the Fort Hope hub. For
that you’ll need Supply Points, which you
get by completing campaign missions.
WORST NIGHTMARE

Back 4 Bloodis not an easygame,
especially not on the two higher
difficulty levels. Tocompete with the
many zombies (sorry, ‘Ridden’) and
special enemy types in your way,you’re
going toneeda balanced deck andteam.
So let us show you how.
SPICE OF LIFE
4
Youcan have 15cards maxin your
deck, so there are a colossal
number ofcombinations. Createvarious
custom collections in Fort Hope and
name them around their intended
specialisation, such as melee or healer, to
make your life easierin future.

MECHANICS
6
The optimised
card collection
of a co-ordinated
squad will be handy
at the end of a
chapter when the
game sticks you
with a Corruption
card, making things
harder. But you get
to choose a new
card too – choose
very wisely.
BETTER TOGETHER
7
Think strategically about howcards
can interact with each other.For
instance, combining amelee damage buff
with Holly’s damage resistance makesfor
a good close-quarters combination. Then
add Battle Lust, whichrestores health
with eachmeleekill.
