About Back 4 Blood
Back 4 Blood is a cooperative first‑person shooter from Turtle Rock Studios, the team behind Left 4 Dead. Players confront the Ridden, infected hosts of a deadly parasite that threaten the remnants of civilization. The game offers a 4‑player co‑op story campaign and a competitive PvP mode where players can switch between human Cleaners and the Ridden.
A rogue‑lite card system and a dynamic Game Director create new challenges each run, while full controller support, HDR, and family sharing broaden accessibility. Eight customizable Cleaners, a range of weapons, and online multiplayer complete the core experience.

Co‑op Campaign
The story campaign supports up to four players who must work together to survive a dynamic, perilous world. Missions become increasingly challenging, requiring coordination and shared strategy to overcome the Ridden.
Solo players can also lead a team, selecting from eight customizable Cleaners and a range of weapons and items to confront the enemy forces.
- Use voice chat to call out Ridden spawns early.
- Distribute weapon types so the team covers both close and long range.
