Survival Mode is a game mode initially released as Downloadable Content from Valve Corporation; the Survival Pack. This game mode throws waves and waves of the Infected at the Survivors until they get fully overwhelmed via every survivor dying or getting incapacitated. There is no way to win, as instead the goal is to survive as long as you can and set new records.
There are currently forty-three different maps to play on in Survival Mode, thirty lifted almost directly from the campaign mode, along with a formerly Left 4 Dead 1-exclusive map called The Lighthouse that is attributed to a campaign called The Last Stand, which was released as part of the pack.
Left 4 Dead
Each survival match starts with indefinite setup time, allowing you and your team to scour the map for useful items. Teams will find health kits, tier 2 weapons, pipe bombs and molotovs, pills, propane tanks, oxygen tanks, and gas cans scattered around the area. Each Survivor automatically spawns with pills, a health kit and dual pistols. Setup time ends once the designated radio/button (typically re-using the chapter's radio/button for a Crescendo or Finale Event in the campaign) is used, and will start the timer on top of the screen. A horde will be called as infected start to spawn, and the intensity escalates from there. The AI Hunters gain an area of effect stun on survivors near pounced teammates, twice as long as a Hunter's stun in Versus mode.
Left 4 Dead 2
Survival mode gameplay in Left 4 Dead 2 remains similar to Left 4 Dead's survival mode, with the difference being the new items and infected. More items for the survivors such as Adrenaline shots, Bile Bombs, more varied weapons and weapon upgrades, and the addition of Uncommon Infected and more Special Infected results in a different gameplay experience compared to Left 4 Dead. Moreover, the Jockey, alongside the Hunter, gain the area of effect stun on survivors near pinned teammates, which is twice as long as in Versus mode. There is a variant of Survival Mode, a mutation called Versus Survival. Following both Versus and Survival formulas, the Special Infected are played by a human team and both teams must compete for a better time than their opponent to continue the game until one team fails. This mutation became an official game mode as part of The Last Stand Community Update on September 24, 2020.
As always, teamwork and staying together are necessary for survival. Beyond that, survival strategies vary from map to map and from team to team. It is possible to obtain a Gold Medal achievement by utilizing just one area of a map, but some may find it more advantageous to move from time to time in order to get more items, ammo and avoid the Tank. And on certain maps, it can be beneficial to stay in motion and run "laps" around the map to prevent infected from catching up. Difficulty increases with time as supplies dwindle, and surviving often involves fending off multiple Special Infected and at times, multiple Tanks.
As with Versus mode (in Left 4 Dead), the melee fatigue cooldown applies.
It is always best to hole up by gathering as much resources and finding the best spot possible before setting off the Horde. For example, preparing special ammo boxes and placing Gas Cans/Propane Tanks in a secure spot can allow the team to grab it quickly in the event of a Tank attack if they do not have any Molotovs on hand.
Once the horde is alerted, the Director will send groups of Common Infected (Uncommons will appear if they can be found in that level; for example, all Hard Rain survival maps will have Worker Infected). The Director will then start spawning Tanks after 40 seconds. The times the Tanks appear are irregular, and the Director can occasionally send two Tanks at the team in conjunction with Special Infected and a horde.

None of the Survival Achievements are present in the Xbox 360 version of the game as the Survival Pack is a free DLC.

These tips are for general purpose, not for specific maps.
•Always stick together; breaking off will make everyone vulnerable and severely weaken them.
•Try to find everything in the map. Throw Gas cans and Propane tanks in places where they won't be shot by accident, so you have a backup supply of "Molotovs" if you do not have any actual Molotovs, or run out of their supply.
•Place everything you need in the place you plan to hold out in, so you do not have to leave your area for supplies and risk getting attacked easily.
•Players playing with Bots will be slightly disadvantaged over a team of players. While they have good accuracy, they often don't work alongside the player, especially whilst Infected swarm them, and they cannot rescue teammates easily unless there is currently no ongoing onslaught. They cannot use any throwables or defibrillators, and are inefficient with healing items, almost never using their health kits if under attack.
•Try to find melee weapons within the map. They are useful when surrounded by Infected or killing distracted Tanks. Most maps tend to have a couple of melee weapons scattered throughout the area.
•Dark Carnival's "Screaming Oak" Crescendo Event from The Coaster can be accessed in Survival mode, but it requires console commands to reach.
•The Coaster survival map was originally supposed to be officially implemented as a survival map with The Last Stand Update, but was scrapped during development. Despite this, it is still accessible when loaded up through the console and includes all the changes made by the Community Update team, such as the helicopter flyover and the propane tank explosions along the tracks.
•It is possible to reach the Sacrifice bridge with the help of console commands or glitches, activate the real finale once everyone is on the bridge, and effectively win the campaign on Survival mode by restarting the generator.
•Using Console Commands, you can load any map in Survival mode such as The Woods, The Hotel, The Apartments, or any others that don't support Survival mode. Unintended side effects like interactive objects needed to continue through the level becoming static, halting progress through the chapter, can occur.
•In Left 4 Dead, it is possible to use glitches to reach the end saferoom, moving to the next chapter in Survival mode for The Generator Room, The Alleys, The Drains, The Church, The Street, The Crane, The Construction Site, The Warehouse, The Bridge, and The Traincar maps. While it is possible to reach the end saferoom area on The Gas Station, the saferoom door required to load the next chapter is removed in survival mode.
•If a Survivor is in an area where Infected cannot reach them in Left 4 Dead 2, the AI Director spawns Spitter spit on their location regardless if there's a Spitter in play. This spit will continue to spawn and damage unreachable Survivors still standing, and even if the visual spit is avoided there is another system that directly damages at a longer interval. This has been known to occur inside of maps near the edges of areas where Infected can reach you, killing or injuring teams that were not cheating.
