Hopefully these help show why some of us really like this unusual playstyle: 1. And then (even more surprisingly) he actually did! So while it’s on my mind, I thought I’d discuss some great mutations for experiencing L4D2 solo. But then, about a month ago, a player named SgtMurder added me on Discord and offered to update the mod so it came with non-Realism support as well. For years the mod was locked to Realism only, and I lost the source code so that wasn’t ever supposed to change. My main contribution to the solo-L4D2 community is “ Solo No Bots“, a mod I released in 2015 that bypasses the auto-fail in the Sacrifice finale, letting Titsonabullsteam become the first player to beat the campaign solo.

And when I’m not soloing myself, I like to watch the pros who have turned it into an art form. Not even with ally bots I like to fight the endless zombie hordes completely on my lonesome. But as I’ve noted in a few earlier articles, my preferred way to play is completely solo. Hell, it even won the “ Better With Friends” award in the inaugural Steam Awards. Left 4 Dead 2 is undeniably a multiplayer-game, designed to emphasize teamwork and excel when you bring buddies who can watch your back.
