I've made a discovery!

[Sir Royal]

I was playing left 4 dead 2 messing around with console commands, and then I stumbled upon this..


boomer_leaker_chance

A leaker?

Out of curiousty, I tried it and set it to 100.

I spawned a boomer via console commands. It looked ordinary, I remember the leaker myth from several L4D2 Forums, and it DIDNT look like a boomer.

So, I killed it.

Boy. That made it angry.

It didnt want to die, it started running toward me, so I shoved it back, and it exploded leaving a trail of fire by it.


So, this is the leaker?

I went to the L4D2 Wiki and sure enough, Leaker was a cut infected from the game which was intented to be in the passing update but was cut because it was to easy to avoid.

I searched a veiw videos on youtube and sure enough leaker gameplay.

So heres how it works from my understanding.


if your in any game mode, and type
boomer_leaker_chance (1-100) is the chance that it will spawn a leaker, 100 being always and 1 being well, Rare.

You can play as the leaker to via boomer, and come in both gender variations.

Its really cool to play as, especcialy with freinds because it anounces to the server everytime the leaker spawns in red text, makes you feel feared.


So go ahead my freinds, try it for yourself. Open left 4 dead 2... Type the command.. and explore my freinds.. Explore..

Thats interesting, I really love trying to find hidden/cut things in game files.
