Bleedout – In this game mode you are given only temporary health, which reduces at a speed much faster than normal. No health kits will drop, however, pills will spawn very frequently. The game will also increase the amount of random panic events in an attempt to catch you off guard.
Chainsaw Massacre – Also known as Chainsaws. No weapons will spawn. Players will be given chainsaws with infinite gas to use for the entire campaign.
Last Gnome on Earth – Also known as Guard the Gnome. Gnome Chompsky will spawn at the beginning of the campaign and must be carried to the end of the campaign to win. Zombies will only attack the player carrying the Gnome.
VIP Target – Like Last Gnome on Earth except in versus mode.
Follow the Liter – Also known as Linear Scavenge. This game mode plays like normal scavenge mode, however only one gas tank will spawn at a time forcing the survivors to pick them up in a specific order.
Versus Survival – A competitive survival mode. Players take turns controlling survivors and special infected in survival mode. The winner is the team that lasts longer as the survivors.
Gib Fest – Also known as M60s and Rambo. Each player spawns with an M60 and a Magnum with infinite ammo. No weapons will spawn.
Hard Eight – In this mode, eight special infected may spawn at once in an attempt to kill you, as opposed to four.
Max Specials – This mode plays like survival mode except there is no cap on the number of special infected that may attack you forcing you to deal with many at once.
First Man Out – If one survivor dies, the entire campaign is lost.
Room for One – There is only room for one survivor in the rescue vehicle at the climax. Players will have to fight each other to be the last survivor standing while still helping each other enough to get to the rescue vehicle.
Healthpackalypse! – This is versus mode except no health items will spawn.
Iron Man – Also known as Hardcore. You won’t be able to respawn or restart once you die in this mode. Once you are dead you are dead and you have to restart the whole campaign.
The Four Swordsmen – No weapons will drop, each player will be given a katana, and only special infected will spawn.
Boom Headshot! – Only headshots will kill zombies, but each zombie goes down in one hit. Special infected also need to be killed with headshots.
Ultra Realism – Realism mode but even harder. Death is permanent for the entire campaign. Basically Realism and Iron Man mode combined.
Last Man on Earth – This is a mutation of single player mode. You will play through the campaigns alone without any assistance from computer controlled characters. Only special infected spawn, and reaching incap means death.
The Last Samurai – Another mutation of single player mode. You will play through the campaigns alone armed with only a katana, facing wave after wave of normal zombies
Realism Scavenge – Scavenge mode with realism modifications. Stronger infected. Survivors don’t get outlines.
Versus Co-Op – It’s the plain old multiplayer campaign mode, but in reverse! Four A.I. bots take control of the survivors, and it’s up to you to stop them as the infected.
Madness – Also known as SPARTAAAA! Just kidding. In this mode no special infected will spawn, however normal infected will spawn much more frequently, will move faster, and will deal increased damage. In addition, there will also be an increase in the rate of random panic events.
I cannot wait to play these. The chainsaw one seems like one of the best ones, although all of them seem fun as hell! Thoughts?!

i was hoping that you would get a mutation where it was verses but when a surviver died, they would return as infected. i wanna be zombie ellis running at someone with a chainsaw!
ReplyDelete^That. Also, make realism Spartaaaa Iron Man to make it as real as possible.
ReplyDeleteRoom for 1... Betrayel at its greatest
ReplyDeleteyah! that'd be fun!
ReplyDeleteI want to play as Midnight riders if possible.
ReplyDeleteVersus Co-Op – It’s the plain old multiplayer campaign mode, but in reverse! Four A.I. bots take control of the survivors, and it’s up to you to stop them as the infected.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, that will get rid of the jerks online that only want to play as the infected so just let themselves die when it's their turn to be survivors again. Should be a permanent feature.
I hope in the future we have the option to replay these mutations.
ReplyDeleteonly some of them will be permanent.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for so many of these, thanks for the info! Hopefully some like Versus Survival, Realism Scavenge/Versus, etc can become official modes for at least the 360, where we have no mods. Appreciate the heads up!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there all good, but I would pick V.I.P. mode.
ReplyDeletei think gib fest the m60s should have limited ammo but they spawn 4 in each safe room and maybe 4 at the finally and the side arm should be switchable because i hate the magnum but thats just my opinion
ReplyDeletei was hoping they could have an 8 vs 8 the main 4 l4d1 chars and l4d2 chars againts 8 zombies
ReplyDeleteOr how about.. no weapons in the safe rooms.. basically play without safe rooms.. no safety..
ReplyDeleteI play ROBLOX and my account name is DJknight at this awesome player-made world I found
ReplyDeletefollow the link and hit games for a free roam L4D 1 & 2!
what "room for one" only allowed only 1 survivor live per lvl and the games where like versus where everyone started with 100 hp in the sr and only a single pistol and the 1st in the sr wins the round or something
ReplyDeleteFAG
ReplyDeletemutations suck why not do one called time is against you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethey should have one where 4 tanks spawn in the begining of every level with infinite heath and u gotta race them to the safe room. call it delay race or something
ReplyDeleteI hope the co-op versus becomes a permanant game mode. it's so annoying when I'm the tank and the survivors leave. they're COM controlled for about a minute so it ca happen!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the very 1st comment :) Thats what ive been hoping for from the very 1st time i heard about mutations :D
ReplyDelete"Have I ever told you about my friend Ellis"
-Zoey :)
Best Idea Ever
ReplyDeleteWho wants to be friends with Ellis anyway?
ReplyDeleteFock u
ReplyDeleteEllis + Nick = Coach Jr.
ReplyDeleteWait so you can't go back and play them? I have been playing Team Fortress 2 on the PC for a while so missed all the mutations!
ReplyDeleteOh and also my xbox live name is AudioZeus and my Steam account name is CorruptedBlood.
ReplyDeleteXD
ReplyDeletehalf of the mutation ideas are stupid with some exceptions. Valve has created a mode in which they can make changes to the game without getting backlash and they choose to make small changes to the game that are not all that fun. mutations should feel different not the same shit with a small twist. with that being said I am looking forward to some of the mutations its just the ones Ive played thus far are fucking stupid.
ReplyDeleteI only can play that damn chainsaw massacre how do I f***ing change it tell ne PPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEE
ReplyDeletekill moo
ReplyDeleteI mean tell ME
ReplyDeleteyou people need to stop talking
ReplyDeleteand play left 4 dead
They should bring Keith into this game.. Now..
ReplyDeleteKeith and Ellis reuinion.. I want to see that.. ;}
You can play co-op versus in ld41 using console, they should have made it work in l4d2 too
ReplyDeleteI want a mutation called Ellpakalypse. There are 4 Ellis' instead of Ellis, Coach, Nick, and Rochelle. "(At same time)One time meh buddy Keith..."
ReplyDeleteEllis + Nick = Coach Jr.
ReplyDeletehahaha ellpakalypse would be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see suvivors bear knuckles against common and special who also use only melee
ReplyDeletei wish theres a mutation on theres only witches and tanks and u have a chainsaw ( unlimited gas ) and unlimited molotoves
ReplyDeleteactully no thats probly impossible so u have a m60 limeted ammo
ReplyDeleteUltra Realism and Versus Coop sound really interesting. I hope they will update the mutation very soon.^^
ReplyDeletei will like the mutation versus co-op wil be in L4D3
ReplyDeleteGib Fest and Madness would be the best, Unlimited Ammo on the M60 with loads of zombies, It would be sooo cool :D
ReplyDelete"MY FRIENDS CALL ME COACH!"
ReplyDeleteIt is unknown who Coach is referring to, seeing as he has no friends.
too bad you need xbox live for mutations and if I played it on pc it would fuck up my pc xbox live should be free or valve should have relesed it on ps3
ReplyDeletei LIKE THE FIRST COMMENT BUT ZOMBIES ARE TO DUMB TO USE WAPONS ESPEACILY CHAISAWS.
ReplyDeletetHAT WAS A TYPO
ReplyDeleteCOACH IS SEXXY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCoach + Nick = Eliis
gib fest survival
ReplyDeleteCoach is pregnant... AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteWHY ELLIS... WHY!??!?!?!?!?!
I would want a mutation called fist fight. You and the rest of the survivors are heavys(from team fortress 2) and you all have 300 hp(like the heavy in team fortress 2.) No weapons will spawn, the only weapons are your FISTSS(the heavy's melee weapon in team fortress 2) and the only special infected is the tank. And the only way to kill him is ti PUNCH HIM TO DEATHH!!! You can block when the tank tries to punch you, causing only 1 hp loss, and when your fists collide no hp is lost. Alos, the tanks hp is the same.
ReplyDeleteI really want to play the verses co-op. Sounds good, as in you can play as infected aganst bots.
ReplyDeleteCoach + Rochelle = TAAANK!
