Left 4 Dead's 'The Passing' Achievements unveiled, spoilery

Still no clues as to who the dead original teammate is...

Fallen survivors are a "new" type of special infected. They're really strong and drop items; I'm not sure if there's anything else special about them. They run away maybe?

And by "new" I mean that they weren't in any level before this, but they were already coded into the game.

I hate waiting for this.

Too bad it's still not out! Curse you, Valve Time!

New Scavenge map? Sweet! Maybe now people will play maps other than Mtel and Mall Atrium. Seriously, people, the other maps are fun too!

Dammit I want this NOW.

You forgot to credit us again :(

Glad it's free on the PC version.

i love the fore achievement. i cant wait to use a golf club

Kite Like a Man
Kill a tank only with damage from the original Survivors.

So does this mean we play AS the original survivors or do we just let the original survivors shoot while we just sit and run?

Tomorrow!? Good luck downloading. With this AND the BFBC2 patch out the same day, I predict it will be spotty at best to get a download.

I find it interesting that the first achievement is called "torch bearer" so did the torch get passed on persay. hmmmmmm...

LOL - wipes egg of face

You are correct and I'm attempting to sync my conception of time with the rest of humanity.

MUTATIONS:
"The Passing also introduces a series of weekly game mode events dubbed "Mutations." These week-long runs of new gameplay modes range from "Realism Versus" mode to "Chainsaw Massacre," which gives all players chainsaws with an unlimited supply of gasoline. There are over 20 Mutations planned, each playable on all L4D2 Campaigns. Mutations are exclusively available to owners of "The Passing" DLC."

Straight off the L4D blog.

Let's get some stuff straight:

Bill is dead. His voice actor was being an asshole and decided to not record lines, so the developers had to cut the idea of a different dead survivor every time you play.

The Fallen Survivor is a regular old dude who managed to get his hands on weapons and other items, but soon became infected. He runs away from you and if you can kill him, he'll drop his loot.

Foot Lockers are little boxes randomly placed in the Passing that contain an infinite number of any support item (Adrenaline Shots, Pills, Molotovs etc.)

The Original Survivors are NOT playable, they are AI controlled, and to receive "Kite Like A Man" you have to let the AI Original Survivors kill the tank for you.

Mutations are an awesome new game type that mix and match the rules for new experiences, each week one mutation is voted on to be a brand-new permanent game mode.

The Wedding is a huge-ass event that has a Witch Bride. Kill or Startle her and a Horde is summoned.

ALL EIGHT SURVIVORS WERE/ARE IMMUNE! Can't say it enough. They were not able to get infected, but the Fallen Survivor was not immune.

And yes, The Passing is awesome.
