USING BILE
This guide is intended for those wishing to have a better game experience.
First and foremost be courteous to others.

Remember that in this game bile is your best friend. But use it wisely. A very oft repeated noob mistake is to throw bile at every opportunity when it's the last thing you should do. The game "Director" will instantly spawn hoards that you'll either have to shoot or run from.
Throwing bile when you're low on ammo or low on health could mean you - or your team mates - won't make it to the safehouse.
Also, throwing bile in your path means you have to run through the hoard and all oncoming spawns.
Bile is your best friend at events and can mean the difference between making it or not.

Do try to always throw bile on rooftops, (stuns hoards while the bile lingers allowing you to escape) or into fires such as fire drums, burning vehicles, rooms, etc which lets them burn, thereby saving ammo.

Bile can also be used to kill a tank in the right circumstances. Sneaking up on a tank unseen and throwing bile will instantly bring a hoard that will beat the tank to death without you having to fire a shot. Even after the bile has worn off, the zombies will continue to beat the tank. Boomers will also puke on the tank bringing more zombies. Chargers will also beat the tank to death if they're around at the time.






Another mistake people make is to throw bile when a player or players have been boomered. Bile does nothing more than spawn new hoards that mean you have many more zombies to deal with and the additional special infected that get spawned by the game Director..

Similarly (but not recommended) bileing a tank in the open will help to bring it down but then you have to deal with the hoard as well as the tank using more ammo and health if they swarm.

Never use bile on the tank unless there's already a horde.

Very little mistakes, simple to read, and fast. Now this is what i call a good guide!

Hopefully more newbies are gonna see this and stop throwing those damned things instantly after picking them up just to get some extra kills.
