When installing a new version of a campaign/map, first delete the old version.To facilitate the organization of the VPKs, create a shortcut on the desktop to the path: C:\Program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons.Then copy the VPK to the addons folder of Left 4 Dead 2, which is normally located in the following path: C:\Program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons. To install via GameMaps, go to the campaign page, download the file and unzip it. The campaigns here are directed to GameMaps [but you can also look for them on Steam Workshop. This guide will be revised and updated constantly. All campaigns in this guide were played/finalised on expert realism, so there is no impossibility.įurthermore, from the Top 50 I selected the 15 best campaigns (the Top 15 list, with ambient screenshots), and put more suggestions of good and playable custom campaigns/maps.

We must not confuse difficulty (depends on team) with impossibility (depends on map). The degree of difficulty of a campaign (its events and the frequency of spawning hordes and special/common infected) does not interfere in its gameplay note, because this basically depends on team that is playing, its tactical capacity (teamwork) and the difficulty level of the game.

The presence of unsolved bugs, crashes or conflicts was also taken into account. The campaigns were evaluated according to three criteria: graphics (detail of 3D models, textures, design, lighting, etc), originality and gameplay on expert realism. A quick search on GameMaps [or Steam Workshop shows hundreds of custom campaigns, and in this guide I selected those that can be considered as the Top 50.
