Welcome to my guide!
This guide will be showing you how to get the secret weapons of l4d2.

I haven't been asked any of these questions because i haven't posted the guide yet but i bet i'll be asked them soon...

Q:Why do these weapons exist and why were they not implemented?
A:These weapons exist as compensation for Germany and Australia's version of l4d2 being censored.
Oddly enough australia didn't get these weapons, only germany. :[ Poor australia.


Q:Im typing these into console and there not working.
A:You need to type them into the server chat and you MUST have the amazing admin commands mod i listed in the description, as well as you need to put a ! Before the command.

Q:Im putting the commands into chat with the ! but there not working.
A:You need to host it on a local server. [You can do this by going to campaign/realism clicking play online search options and clicking create a server then click game settings and where it says "official dedicated click "Local".]

"Im starting to feel like this is a q and a for admin commands, lol.

For some reason steam screwed up the paragraphing on this part as well as duplicated paragraphs, i dont know why its doing this but i cant seem to fix it. D:<
The mp5 [!Give <survivor name> smg_mp5]
The mp5 is in the submachine gun class
It has a slower rate of fire than the normal smg's and almost the same damage as the silenced smg

Pros:
Good accuracy at medium ranges.
Very large reserve ammo supply.
Higher damage compared to the regular Submachine Gun and similar to the silenced one.
Easiest submachine gun to conserve ammo due to the lower rate of fire.

Cons:

lowest rate of fire of the submachine guns.
Burst shooting not as effective as other submachine guns although the method is advisable.
Pretty lower accuracy at long ranges opposed to the regular Submachine Gun.

Misc:
The reload animation can be glitched if you shove when reloading, causing your character to just idly hold it while it reloads.
the sig sg552 !give <survivor name> rifle_sg552
The sig sg552 is a fully automatic assault rifle and probably my favorite due to the unique changes in it's stats caused by scoping in.

It has a scope on it which can be used but you wont look directly into the scope but instead to the side of the gun. Helping to not decrease your view by causing a circle around your screen.

However, using the scope will decrease the fire rate and damage of the rifle.

Pros:

Highest rate of fire of all weapons except submachine guns.
When using the scope it is very accurate.
Suitable for basically all ranges.
Fast reloading time although slower than the one of the Assault Rifle.
When equipped with Laser sights the accuracy will be increased a lot. The scope will have basically a perfect aim.

Cons:

If a careless player uses the weapon in fully automatic the whole time the ammo reserves will rapidly deplete.
Low damage per shot compared to other assault rifes, but same as the M16.
Difficult to do single shots to preserve incendiary or explosive ammo.
Not very accurate for middle ranges while moving.

Misc:Nope.avi
The steyr scout [!Give <survivor name> sniper_scout
The steyr scout is just your average sniper rifle. The capacity, accuracy, and damage are very similar to the hunting rifle but the rate is significantly lower. So its just about a straight downgrade.

Pros:

Very accurate sniper even when moving.
Inflicts high damage per shot.

Cons:

It has a low rate of fire, although not slower than the Accuracy International AWSM.[The rifle you'll see next.]
Damage per shot is not compensated by the rate of fire.
A very poor choice against a horde.
It is the weapon that would take the longest time to kill a Tank, so it is highly not advisable to use on them. Even the P220 Pistol is better. The Steyr Scout would need 89 shots and take 99 seconds.
The Accuracy International AWSM [!Give <survivor name> sniper_awp]
The awp or Accuracy International AWSM is a bolt action sniper rifle its damage is very high more so than the sniper rifle

Pros:

Highest damage per shot of the all firearms except shotguns and the Grenade Launcher.
Second highest magazine capacity.
The highest total damage of all weapons, except the Tier 2 shotguns and the AK-47.

Cons:

Lowest rate of fire of all weapons except the Grenade Launcher.
Probably the worst weapon for self defense when surrounded by infected.
Extremely bad for Gauntlet Crescendo Events.
The hunting knife !give <survivor name> ????
The hunting knife is almost like a myth that exists quite a few speculations go around as how to spawn it but as far as i know, the only way to get it is to get a german copy of L4D2 or hack the .dll file, but that might get you banned for all we know.

Thanks for reading! :)
Thanks for readin' guys, i appreciate it. Thanks to rayman 1103 for authorizing me to make a guide involving their mod, and thanks to L4D2 wiki for the official stats.

If you could do me a favor and check my channel i'd appreciate it www.youtube.com/user/wafflebrogaming

Thanks again for reading, constructive criticism is appreciated.

Catcha later!

This guide should be updated. With the release of The Last Update all those weapons spawn normally now.

I play on a custom coop server which makes knife and awp most OP doing like 10000 by awp ( SI health is high too)
I want a script or a cheat to get awp on that server :P for just once .
I have used it thrice by far XD .
I will first try on no steam

It's difficult to get the knife to spawn even when using some melee unlocker Workshop addon. You can get the knife easily as well as all the CSS weapons (even spawning in custom campaigns) via use of SourceMod plugins. If you don't have SourceMod installed I highly recommend doing so as much more can be accomplished with plugins than vpks. I have all the weapons unlocked and all manner of glitches and exploits patched out of my game :steamhappy:

Alternatively, instead of using a mod that allows you to spawn these in with commands, there are several that already just straight up unlock them so they'll spawn normally anyway.
