Left 4 Dead - Hunter Wall Climb (Vertical Wall Jump) Tutorial

*CLICK FOR MORE INFO*

YES THIS WORKS ON 360 IN BOTH L4D AND L4D2. On PC, 's' is the key for moving backwards, so that would be Left Stick back on a 360 pad.

A neat trick that a friend of mine told me about, but couldn't quite master. I didn't see any videos on this, so I wanted to create an instructional video that was easy to follow. As my first video ever, I will show you how to do a Mega Man X style vertical wall jump so you can have more time to get that perfect high-damage pounce.

This video was also a test to get audio from microphone input to record alongside game audio...other than the low volume output, looks like it was a success! So in case you noticed that my speech sounds unrehearsed, it's because it was all done on-the-fly.

1) With your back facing the wall, crouch while looking straight up and backing into the wall (holding 's').
2) Make the first pounce while holding 's' in and mashing in left-click. Before you hit the apex of the jump, slowly bring your aim down.
3) Once you make a second pounce, leave your aim there and continue pouncing.
4) Get a 25-damage pounce on a hapless survivor.

*Note that unfortunately this doesn't appear to work when on fire.

I wish I knew who to credit this to, but, alas, I don't. Anyway, thanks to whoever found this out as well as anyone who actually learns something from this video.

Music is from the title screen and Armored Armadillo stage from Mega Man X...I figured they would be fitting for such a maneuver =)

do you still nid to hold ctrl key all the time to do the wall pounce?

[hiryu64]

@ronnel1124 No, you only need to crouch to initiate a pounce from the ground. Once your hunter is airborne, it is no longer necessary to hold the crouch button. In fact, I'm gonna share a little secret with you: if you jump against a wall with your back facing it, it is possible to pounce off of it as you would any other wall jump. This way, you can instantly bust out a pounce without ever making any noise!

[hiryu64]

OKAY! I'm gonna clear up some confusion. On PC, the 's' key is default for moving backward, so if you're on a 360 pad, when I say "hold 's'" you should hold backward on the left stick to strafe backward.

It's also possible to do sideways wall jumps. That's outside the scope of this basic tutorial, though. If you wanna do it, follow my same instructions but face parallel to the wall and strafe into it while you do it.

Additionally, this will work in both L4D1 and L4D2. Now get pouncin'! >:D

u dont have to aim up then down....just aim a bit down and hold s. i did this on mercy hospital and actually pounce the survivor when the came out of the sewer and incapacitated all 4!!! that was the best time i had in l4d!!! :D

How did you get in that free mode where it was just you on the map? Can you do that in the Xbox360 version?

[qan2211]

Any more reason to rate the hunter the best infected around? :D

[ShadowRocks25]

@theinnerjaw How?

[suuuuuuuuuskk]

@dunno90 The S button for going backwards. Use it to lean back to the wall. And addons are for pc only indeed, sorry.
