How to be a good boomer in Left 4 Dead

Boomers stand up to their names when used properly. A lot of times, gamers don't use the boomer wisely or correctly and thus cause little to no damage at all to the survivors. Being a good boomer requires patience and the ability to ambush the survivors in wide-open areas.

The most common mistake Left 4 Dead gamers make when playing as boomers is spawning too early. Not only will the survivors hear you, but you will also have wasted a boomer without any purpose whatsoever. The best thing to do is tell your teammates to attack the survivors. This will cause the survivors to be off guard thus causing a successful vomit imminent.

Another thing to take into consideration is where the survivors are located. If they are located in a small closed area, don't bother vomiting on them at all; they are likely to be in a corner attacking the horde as they come. Instead, vomit on the survivors as they enter a wide open space and have your teammates attack as well. By the time they kill your teammates off, the horde will have done serious damage to them.
