Should the third Tank be killed, the finale loop replays again until the team escapes, but if they intentionally hold out for longer then hordes will spawn with an unending wave of Tanks that have no cooldown between them after the previous Tank(s) die. Once the second Tank is defeated and the rescue vehicle arrives, this string is removed and the Director will send both Tanks and hordes at the team, although it can occasionally glitch out where the Tank or neither Tank and horde arrives. In order for the finale state to advance, the Tank must die removing the Tank will result in an infinite loop. In Finales, the Director summons Tanks after two hordes have been defeated additional hordes caused from the Boomer's puke may delay the Tank spawn. However, it is impossible for successive repeats to occur, such as two tanks in a row without a break in between. This limit is not used in Co-op and can result in a Tank and Witch spawning together, and/or inside a Safe Room. In Versus mode, the Director imposes a "Flow Limit" upon Bosses, stopping them from spawning too close to one another or to the Safe Zones / Checkpoints. However, if Survivor(s) run away from the Tank, the Director will remove the string, allowing Special Infected to spawn and attempt to intercept the runners. With the exception of Versus and specific Mutations, Special Infected are prevented from spawning while the Tank is in play (a string for this exists, telling the Infected to wait for the Tank battle to end). The Director will also turn the Tank hostile if the Survivors manage to get past it unnoticed or deal damage to it. This can become problematic for the Tank if the map is particularly maze-like and/or loops back on itself. Tanks will turn hostile immediately upon making line of sight with a Survivor. It can be noted that when playing Left 4 Dead campaigns in Left 4 Dead 2, the witches will still spawn in open/alternate areas quite frequently. This probably was done to balance with the Wandering Witches on the daylight campaigns, who can be avoided easily. It seems that The Director has a bigger tendency to spawn idle Witches at unavoidable spots in Left 4 Dead 2, while in Left 4 Dead Witches will often spawn on open areas or alternate paths as well. These Threat areas are normally on the main path, and are always the same - no matter how many times you go through a map, Tanks and Witches can only spawn in these areas. Throughout each map there are a select number of "Threat" locations - areas, determined by the map maker, where the Director will spawn a Tank or a Witch. Witch and Tank spawns are handled very differently by the Director. Specials can spawn inside the ending Safe Room, effectively locking them inside until the Survivors open the door. This can be seen by turning on Full Captions. In Campaign mode, the Director will kill off any Special Infected that are too far from the Survivors. For example, Boomers are spawned ahead of the Survivors, while Smokers try to find an area above the Survivors. Special Infected spawn in different types of locations, depending on their type. A higher number of Commons may exist on the map, but the Director will not spawn any more until their number is 0. Unlike Wanderers, Mobs will immediately hunt down the Survivors upon spawning.Ī maximum of 30 Commons can be spawned by the Director at any one time. However, the Director will continue to "queue" Mob Infected until the Survivors leave this spot, effectively punishing them with a larger Mob. In certain instances the Director will be unable to find a suitable spot to spawn a Mob, granting the Survivors momentary reprieve from the Horde. Mobs consist of 10 - 30 Commons, and generally spawn in intervals of 1-4 minutes (varying with difficulty). ![]() Mobs (Hordes), on the other hand, are usually spawned to the side or behind the Survivors. These Commons will "wander" (as per the name), and will rush towards and attack the survivors in a blind rage upon noticing them. Wanderers are independent Commons spawned in front of the Survivors, with the highest concentration being on the main path, but with decent amounts placed in side routes and in unreachable locations (known as background wanderers). The Director divides Commons into two types - Wanderers and Mobs. The Director categorizes enemies as Wanderers, Mobs, Specials, and Bosses. In general, the Infected are spawned out of sight from the Survivors, and are de-spawned after the Survivors move out of range (although, there are exceptions). The Director's most immediately obvious influence is of the spawning and managing of Infected.
