Valve has announced that Left 4 Dead 2’s next update won’t be out for another few weeks, but at least they let us know what to expect: Infected bots and auto-spawning tweaks in the game’s popular Versus mode.
Detailing the two major aspects of the update in a post on their official blog, the L4D2 team explained how both the bots and auto-spawning tweaks are intended to smooth out issues with the Versus mode. The bots will “help out the Infected when they are down a man or two,” the post explains, and “will also make 1v1 Versus a bit more fun.”
As for tweaking the auto-spawning in the finale events of Versus mode, Valve says one thing they’ve been experimenting with is disabling them altogether — and crunched some numbers to show why. “Across all finales in Left 4 Dead 2 currently, a single survivor has a 34.56% chance of escaping,” the post reads. “That includes the Concert Finale in ‘Dark Carnival,’ which boasts close to a 50% escape rate (and yes, a fix for everyone’s favorite cheese spot is coming). Remove the Concert Finale, and we see the average drop to 29.61%.”
