Week 16 is the Gib Fest time!
Next batch of mutations for Left 4 Dead 2 begun a while ago, starting with Gib Fest: automated M60 machine guns with unlimited ammo for every survivor. Time to get messy!
Oh, and it seems like if one needs to go alone in a zombie apocalypse and only take one thing along, most people would choose Zoey being that one thing. As if you'd have a chance. But then there are 2% of people who would take a defib unit. The people over at Valve wonder what exactly would you do with it? Since you are not alone, no one would be resurrecting you with it. Or would you try to find another dead survivor on your quest to try to bring back life? Good luck on that!
I am still here posting L4D related news such that along with this mutation the game also got some localization fixes. So I have survived the Xfire Apocalypse so far.

Mutation Breakdown
Hello every survival and infected out there. Unfortunately things turned out how they did; I am no longer working for Xfire. Still as the manager of this official community I am doing my past duty by posting at least this news post still. I am not sure yet whether you will hear of me again in this community news section or not.
Originally there were 12 mutations planned for Left 4 Dead 2 as you can see in the achievements list. All of them have now been activated at least once and today would be again the day of a new mutation. So before we will see what surprise Valve has to offer, they posted a report of how the mutations were received by players along with some interesting statistics about the number of players and invested playtime in them.

Versus Survival, take two
On Friday Versus Survival mutation came back as the encore mutation of the month for PC (XBOX360 players voted for Four Swordsmen of the Apocalypse).
Along with the encore, a setup timer was added for this mutation mode plus an exploit for dropping players from servers was fixed.
Soon after another update for Left 4 Dead 2 was rolled in fixing a bug in Versus Survival allowing sometimes 5 players on the survivors team.

Healthpackalypse!
This week's mutation removes First aid kits from Versus games. That should make it significantly harder for survivors to... survive.
Next week will be the encore of one of the mutations from past weeks, so you have the chance to vote which one it will be.
