Intro
Surviving for 10 minutes in Left 4 Dead 2 requires strategies to increase your chances of success. Staying close to your teammates is crucial to fend off the infected, and using right-click or melee attacks to free them when grabbed by special infected is essential. Scouting maps before starting is also important. Take the time to explore the map and familiarize yourself with key resources such as weapons and health kits, to avoid getting caught off guard by unexpected hordes or special infected.

Quick Tips
  • Stay close to guns or ammo for quick refills.
  • Communication is key for success. Call out special infected and ask for help when needed.
  • Use right-click or melee attacks to free teammates grabbed by special infected.
  • Carry a Molotov or Bile Bomb if possible.
  • Use Molotov or Bile Bombs against tanks and Pipe Bombs against hordes.
  • Loot Bile Bombs dropped by CEDA agents when things are calm.
  • Avoid areas with multiple entry points.
  • Use solid objects like cars or pillars to avoid getting pulled by smokers.
  • Tanks don't spawn between 9:00-10:00 minutes.

About my timings
I obtained the Killing Spree achievement legitimately and without cheating. The timers appearing as 10:00.00, 10:00.01, or 10:00.02 are due to me pausing the game as soon as the timer hit the 10-minute mark. This should not be a cause for suspicion of cheating, as I had no intention of going beyond the 10-minute mark.

I hope this clears up any misunderstandings and assures everyone that the achievement was earned through fair gameplay.
Mods
Although it is possible to play all maps without mods, it can be challenging with bots. If you struggle due to the lack of human players, you may find the Advanced Bot AI Mod helpful. It allows bots to use items like molotovs, pipebombs, and melee weapons, and improves their AI. Additionally, you may want to try a mod for a clearer UI, such as this NeunGUI, or a better flashlight texture to improve visibility.

Dead Center
Gun Shop
Stay inside the shop and aim at the door. There are guns inside to refill ammo. When a tank gets in, keep shooting it while you backpedal deeper into the shop. Reposition when it's dead.


Mall Atrium
Stay at the entrance of the mall. This will give you a great line of sight and allow you to pick off incoming infected from a safe distance. Watch out for smokers and spitters above and be sure to communicate with your team if you see one. When the tank comes, try to loop it around the various plants on both sides.
The Passing
Riverbank
Take up position on top of the bushwall at the head of the stairs. From here, you'll have a clear advantage to eliminate any approaching zombies before they can reach you. There are supplies near the stairs.


Underground
The spawn is an ideal location to hold. Keep your position at this angle, and remain vigilant for any incoming special infected from above or the corridor to the right.


Port
Position yourself at the entrance of the bridge and keep a sharp eye out for any special infected. If you run low on ammo, head to the other side of the fence and retrieve it from the nearby cache. However, be cautious not to expose yourself to friendly fire or large hordes of zombies. Be sure to communicate with your team that you need to get ammo, so they can provide cover or assistance if necessary.
Dark Carnival
Motel
Establish your position in front of the pool, and assign a team member to keep watch from atop the flower pot. This vantage point allows them to eliminate any incoming zombies before they reach the group, while the wall behind the flower pot provides cover against Smokers. Remember to communicate effectively with your team to coordinate your actions and ensure a successful defense. In case you run low on ammunition, there's an ammo cache nearby.



Stadium Gate
Upon spawning, proceed forward until you reach the trash compactor. Move to the other side of the fence behind it to establish a secure position. This location offers good cover and a clear line of sight, allowing you to defend against incoming zombies. If you need to restock on ammo, head inside the nearby building where you will find a cache.


Concert
Position yourself on the right side of the stage and look for the button next to the mic. Press it when possible to activate the pyrotechnics and burn any zombies that come too close. Be mindful that the pyrotechnics have a cooldown time, so use them wisely. You can also use the stage as cover to defend against incoming zombies.
Swamp Fever
Gator Village
Call for the ferry and hold your position until it arrives. When it reaches you, board the ferry and secure the perimeter to prevent any zombies from boarding.


Shanty Town
Take shelter inside the bar and secure the perimeter. There are many supplies inside.


Plantation
Secure the mounted gun area and use it to mow down any approaching zombies. Use the environment to your advantage, such as gas cans or propane tanks, to maximize your effectiveness against the horde.
Hard Rain
Burger Tank
Take up a defensive position at spawn on top of the building and use the surrounding environment to your advantage. Retrieve ammo from inside the nearby building when needed, making sure to communicate with your team to cover your back.


Sugar Mill
Secure your position behind the truck and take advantage of the nearby ammo cache.


Cane Field
Secure your position in the open area of the gas station.
The Parish
Waterfront
Take up position on the balcony. The height advantage will make it easier for you to pick them off before they can reach you. When you need to resupply, retrieve ammo from the top of the bus.


Bus Depot
Take up a defensive position near the spawn and hold this angle, which will give you a clear line of sight to take out approaching zombies before they can reach you.

Cemetery
This location may be tough, but it can be held with a good coordination. There is an ammo cache located to the right of your position, so be sure to retrieve ammo as needed. Be prepared for some zombies to approach from above the gravestones, so keep an eye on your surroundings. When a Tank appears, quickly run to the big corridor on the left to avoid it.


Float
Quickly move the float to clear a path and take up a defensive position on the balcony. The advantage of this spot is that zombies won't spawn behind you, allowing you to focus your attention on the front. However, stay alert and keep an eye out for any special infected that may approach from the sides. You can find ammo nearby to replenish your supplies.


Bridge
Take refuge inside the tents as they offer ample protection and hinder zombies' ability to approach and grab you. Be cautious around the helicopter, as Tanks and Chargers can easily throw you into the water. Remember to stay put and avoid running around unnecessarily.
The Sacrifice
Train Car
To hold this position effectively, position yourself at the angle between the larger boat and the smaller boat, and keep a watchful eye on the right side, as zombies may attempt to flank you by going around the smaller boat.


Barge
Take the ramp up and hold this angle. There's an ammo cache inside the building to your left for resupply.


Port
Same as The Passing. Position yourself at the entrance of the bridge and keep a sharp eye out for any special infected. If you run low on ammo, head to the other side of the fence and retrieve it from the nearby cache. However, be cautious not to expose yourself to friendly fire or large hordes of zombies. Be sure to communicate with your team that you need to get ammo, so they can provide cover or assistance if necessary.
No Mercy
Generator Room
Position yourself on the corner of the dark room. This will allow you to take advantage of the broken ceiling, which will cause most zombies to fall and become easier targets. However, be prepared to run around to avoid tanks when they arrive, as they can quickly overwhelm you in such a confined space.


Gas Station
Hold your position next to the lift, run around the platform when needed.


Hospital
As soon as you spawn, make your way towards the double doors at the end of the big corridor. Inside, you'll find some supplies such as a shotgun and an AK. Be mindful that zombies will always approach from one direction.


Rooftop
Just like in the campaign, stay near the mounted mini gun to mow down incoming waves of zombies. Keep an eye out for tanks and quickly run through the pipes to avoid their attacks.
Crash Course
Bridge
Hold your position at the doorway inside the building. Zombies will break through two walls from the road side.


Truck Depot
Get to the mini-gun and hold your position to take out large groups of zombies. Be aware of the mini-gun's overheating.
Death Toll
Drains
Before starting the level, it is recommended to go through the hole where zombies come from to find additional supplies. Once you have gathered your supplies, press the button and make your way to the bridge. On the other side of the bridge, there is a door that leads to a room where you can find laser sights to improve your aim.


Church
Hold your position behind the sandbags. If you become overwhelmed, it's recommended to run inside the church. However, be aware that zombies can come through the church, so stay alert and be prepared to defend yourself.


Street
As soon as the level begins, head to the forklift and lower it. Move quickly to the other side of the street, and take cover on the back of the bus.


Boathouse
As soon as the level begins, head up the road towards the picnic shelter where you can find laser sights. Then, make your way towards the dock and hold your position there.
Dead Air
The Crane
At the beginning of the level, make your way to the crane and lower it down. Climb up to the top and stay in this area. From here, you will have a good vantage point.


The Construction Site
As soon as the level begins, make your way inside the construction site and hold your position at the indicated angle. During lulls between hordes, make sure to collect ammo and supplies to ensure you are well-stocked for the next wave.


The Terminal
At the beginning of the level, make your way to the area that the van has unlocked. Once you arrive, hold your position at the indicated angle.


The Runway
When the level starts, make your way to the airport building on the left side and head towards the dark area with pillars. Stay inside this area.
Blood Harvest
Warehouse
After equipping yourself, open the door to start the wave and unlock a new section of the warehouse. Run to the end of this section where you will find a set of stairs. Stay at the top of the stairs.


The Bridge
Head to the train garage at the beginning of the level and take cover inside. This location provides a good defensive position with limited entry points for the infected, and there are also supplies available inside.


The Farmhouse
This can be a challenging level, but one effective strategy is to stay on the loft of the barn. From here, you have a good vantage point to take out zombies and can avoid being too exposed.
Cold Stream
Junkyard
When you start the level, move around the spawn area and head inside the shop. Zombies will only be able to come through the door, making it easier to hold your position and defend against them.


Waterworks
When you start the level, head towards the large tree in the center of the area and take cover around it. Be mindful of any zombies that may climb over the walls and attack from above.
The Last Stand
Junkyard
One effective strategy is to hold inside the main building. This location provides decent cover and limited entry points for the infected. However, be prepared to leave the building and move to a more open area when tanks arrive to avoid getting cornered.


Lighthouse
Stay on the roof of the lighthouse, but be cautious of Smokers as they can easily drag you down into hordes.
