Poll: Left 4 Dead 3 infected ideas

[Captain Pancake]

Some form of leader infected that can direct the horde, it only has a melee attack but with the left click the player can basically laser guide any zombies in the area, though without spawning any new infected. Could work well with the boomer which could spawn a horde, then the leader could guide the zombies to a new target.

Zomboni, that is all. Oh! and Crazy Dave gives you the weapons.

The Rainer

Attacks

A Zombie that jumps INCREDIBLY High, i mean 2 verticle hunter jumps,but if he lands on a survivor,he can do 2 attacks with LT and RT,LT is a fast attack doing only a small amount of damage,while RT is a powerful attack but takes a while to be able to be used again,and he can also claw like the hunter.

Appearence

same style as a hunter but instead of clothes he's fully naked (except for his crotch area ) And has chains hanging from his wrists.

The toxicant it is really slow 30 damage per hit pukes and coughs out toxic liquid that once a surviver touches it does 10 damage every 5 seconds even if he is out of the toxic


P.S. the only 2 ways to cure it is dieing and getting shocked or killing a toxicant (it drops a cure)

I dunno, can't think of any more problems that the infected could solve.

Maybe a Glitch Checker. It could camp near glitches and bite the head off a survivor that tried to use them. Or, infected survivors. That would be cool.

I believe that infected survivors will be in "The Passing" DLC as uncommon common infected. Fallen survivors or something. They've got good items on you, but they run away instead of attacking.

I can't think of any new infected...

Sweet.

umm....pikachu undead version?

don't know, first thing that crossed my mind

How about infected survivors? The 4 zombies must fight off hordes of ravaging humans trying to wipe out the last infected.

I swear to god they stole my spitter idea.

The spitter was a concept special infected for L4d1. I was amused to see them use it in l4d2.
I'd quite like to see some of the other concept zombehs make it in, such as the Screamer...

 

[TheSimp]

I swear to god they stole my spitter idea. Though my spitter clung to the walls and aprayed acid in a survivor's face when they looked at them.

You're not the only one to think that, I thought of something similar when i saw the hazmat zombies, except my Spitter spat fire... My idea is infinitely more retarded than Valve's though.

Weren't there two they thought of but never put in? The Screamer and something with a bunch of spikey items like pitchforks stuck out of it (I forget the name so I shall name him Stuart)? Those could still work:

Screamer appearing as often as a Witch, and like a fleeing car alarm that switches off when you kill it. And Stuart being more like a more common Tank, soaks up damage like a sponge and I think the original plan Valve had was to have him firing said spikey items out of himself at the survivors. Be interesting to play at least one game with both left in, but hey they were removed for a reason so they were probably garbage.

Any infected with a more direct, powerful ranged attack would be an interesting addition.

You know how the smoker has all those boils filled with gas? My idea is an infected that has those same boils, but he can tear them off and throw them (kind of like smoke bombs). They can create a cloud of gas that deals small amounts of damage while you stand in it and obscures your vision.

Another idea is the Spider. He has incredibly low health but very high speed and can walk on walls and ceilings. His special ability is shooting a web that can be used to block doorways or pin Survivors to the wall. To destroy the webbing takes a few melee hits, but whoever gets it on them will temporarily have reduced speed.

Infeced survivors are in the passing, well, not the main survivors, there immnune.

I really want the tank in l4D3 (if there will be one) to be invincible. He spawns somewhere in the end of a chapter and the only way to survive is to reach the safe room.

It's a good idea, but from your description is sound very overpowered. especially with the shooting spiked balls, and the fact that you have to shoot it off. If you miss, you'll end up doing a crap ton of FF damage.

That's pretty intresting

I don't see him as to overpowered, first of all the player isan't helpless, he try to run to his friends, unless he is blind. And the spike balls are hard to see, and you can get some friendly fire damage, but it isn't terrible unless you don't know about if for a while.

The Smasher.

Appearence: right arm resembles the Charger´s, the left one is hollow. otherwise he looks like a normal infected.

Main Attack: the Smasher (once his red meter is full) launches himself by slamming the hollow arm into the ground and then launching himself in a general direction (jump is thrice as high as a hunter leap) and then he will crash down on whatever he lands nearby. if he lands directly on someone, they take 30 damage and is knocked extremely far back (horizontal, not vertical), while people in the vicinity of the crash (3-12 feet) take minor damage and is momentarily stunned.

I had thought up the Launcher:

With his main attack, he picks up and throws other infected... anyone hit would suffer impact damage as well as have that infected on them. This could also be combined with throwing a Jockey or a Charger or a Hunter, or even a Boomer at someone.

His secondary attack would be to throw the survivors if he can do it without dying. Similar health to a Charger.

my idea combined with yours would be absolute rape in a box

I only just thought of the idea, but it would work well because until you killed it, the survivors would have a tougher time with the originally placed, scattered zombies. they might be more infrequent than other infected, and for balancing it might even have to be a boss creature, but I still think it could work.

The Lasher... a smoker variant that instead of pulling survivors lashes them from long range with some appendage that knocks the survivor in the direction of the swing.. Not huge knockback but enough to separate a closely huddled group.. or knock unsuspecting survivors off a edge

I like the idea of your "Lasher". Add a rough/spikey surface to his tounge and it would be pritty good.

O.T. It would be cool if they hade a part in a game where you had to cross over a body of water (a lake or a river would be nice) at this point there is a special that only inhabits this are. It would look like the infection fussed a human and an aquatic animal together. It would jump out and grab a survivor. At this time one of your team mates must shoot under the water and kill the infected. The person who got draged under would have only a few seconds to swim over to his team mates and get pulled up (like if you fell from a ledge).

Wow, this is a good idea. Imagine how much fun it would be for the survivers to face leecher, launcher, smasher, ocean guy, lasher, and all the other infected on the page.
(LOL)
