Chainsaws (co-op)
Everyone starts with a Chainsaw (unlimited fuel) and a pistol (unlimited ammo), there aren’t any other kinds of weapons spawning, so its just what you have at the beginning.

Four Swordsmen (co-op)
Kinda like Chainsaws, except you start with katanas and no pistols, and there are only S.I., no Commons.

Hardcore (co-op)
If everyone dies, you have to restart the campaign, so no restarting maps and you have to restart the whole thing.

Headshot Only (co-op)
Self descriptive, commons only die with headshots.

Last Man On Earth (Singleplayer)
It’s you… against the S.I. (extremely scary).

M60s (co-op)
Survivors start with only M60s (limited ammo) and a Desert Eagle, once you run out of ammo, you’re screwed.

Max Specials (survival)
It’s survival, with 8 S.I. at any given time!

Bleed Out/Temp Health (coop)
Everyone starts with 100 decaying health (pills-like), there are no medkits, only pills and adrenaline.

Protect the VIP aka Gnome (co-op, versus)
There is a gnome next to you at the beginning, carry it through the campaign, person carrying the gnome can’t use weapons and the gnome attracts infected.

Realism Versus (versus)
You already know what this is, versus with realism modifications.

Linear Scavenge (scavenge)
2 Cans spawn, get those 2 in and 2 more spawn, proceed.

No Health Versus (versus)
No medkits, no pills, no adrenaline.

Versus Survival (survival)
Self Descriptive, it’s a lot of fun.
