==Summary==
The Survivors are two groups of playable protagonists in Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 respectively, in which they both fight through hordes of infected in order to get to safety and survive. 
While it's unknown how the Left 4 Dead Survivors first met up, in their first appearance together as a team they are seen scavenging the abandoned alleyways of Fairfield, Pennsylvania. While trying to remain hidden, the group's main leader Bill infers that the infected are changing after seeing a weird gooey substance from one of the infected they recently killed, and shortly after, the Survivors get ambushed by multiple hordes of Common and Special Infected. From there, the Survivors would then begin their trip to try and get to Mercy Hospital's roof to catch the last helicopter rescue in the city.
The Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors first met together on the Vannah Hotel while trying to escape on a rescue helicopter, but unfortunately for them all of the rescue helicopters in the city had already been leaving and indirectly left the Survivors for dead. From there, the Survivors would team up together and agree to travel to the CEDA evacuation center at the Liberty Mall, where they would hopefully get rescued.

Attack Potency: Wall level physically (Able to kill most Special Infected in a few blows, with said Special Infected being able to destroy heads and rip apart humans with ease), Street level to Wall level with weapons (Pistols should be this level, as they're significantly weaker than other guns.

Most other primary weapons can blow up heads and limbs with ease. The grenade launcher is based on the M79, which can fire HE rounds containing 32 grams of composition B, the equivalent of 253.8 kilojoules) | Wall level physically (Comparable to the Left 4 Dead Survivors), Street level to Wall level with weapons (The Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors use all of the same weapons as the Left 4 Dead Survivors), Wall level with Jimmy Gibbs Junior's car (The KE of the car should be on this level; Could easily drive and break through the entrance of Liberty Mall)

Teamwork:
<tabber>
|-|Left 4 Dead's Survivors=
Having been together for a few weeks, the Left 4 Dead Survivors have grown close to each other and, thus, they will always assist another survivor in-need, whether it'd be sharing supplies, getting a Special Infected off of them, healing them with a med-kit and/or just simply sticking together. In-fact, the Survivors have grown so close to the point where they see each other as family and will go out of their way to protect a fellow member even if it means risking the former's life, like when Bill sacrificed himself to start up a bridge's generator and let the others escape the city on boat.Left 4 Dead; The Sacrifice (Comic; Part 4)
|-|Left 4 Dead 2's Survivors=
While the Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors have been together for less time than their Left 4 Dead counterparts, they have still grown a tight bond together as well and frequently assist each other in combat. Even when they all first met they quickly made a surprisingly good plan to get to the nearest evacuation station together in less than a minute.Left 4 Dead 2; Dead Center; The Hotel On top of this, they can also share supplies and aid each other not unlike their predecessors. It is somewhat worth noting however that despite their teamwork they can often have disagreements and Nick at first had plans to straight-up ditch the rest of his teammates once they were all safe from the outbreak and free, but these two issues shouldn't affect them too much in combat as both their friendships and Nick's appreciation of his teammates have grown throughout Left 4 Dead 2.

Intelligence: Below Average (To put it bluntly, Francis is a cocky, immature moron who often gets into trouble and usually makes awful plans that'll get him even deeper into trouble rather than out of it. Nevertheless he does show some skill with firearms and weapons and helps his fellow survivors when they need him, making him a passable teammate) to Above Average (Bill is an experienced Vietnam veteran with a high proficiency in firearms who's able to lead the team throughout their journey. Louis and Zoey both also have some experience with firearms as they used to frequently visit shooting ranges, with the latter being able to hold themselves in fights and the former being knowledgable enough able to craft pipebombs) | Average (Ellis shows no notable feats or skills in this regard as he has had no combat experience prior to the events of Left 4 Dead 2, but he has worked as a mechanic before the outbreak and is a good marksman throughout Left 4 Dead 2) to Above Average (Nick is implied to have been an experienced con-artist who has been in multiple gunfights before. Coach's experience as a high-school football coach makes him an excellent team leader that always encourages the team to do better and succeeds)
