Back 4 Blood is currently giving countless players that long overdue Left 4 Dead fix. We rather enjoyed the game ourselves, too. Praise aside, the game isn’t perfect. There are various areas in need of tuning and overhauling to provide a more cohesive experience to the grouped up Cleaners attempting to survive the Ridden hordes.
Turtle Rock Studios has quickly gotten to work on addressing the community’s conveyed sticking points. The first hotfix has been deployed to alleviate certain concerns, such as the maddening Special Ridden spawn rate. The hotfix has been applied on the backend, meaning no download is necessary to enjoy the new changes.
Here’s everything new in the Back 4 Blood October 14th, 2021 hotfix.
