By Bryan Roberts
Updated September 22, 2017
Plenty of games offer the unnerving experience of a zombie's breath running across your neck, but "Left 4 Dead" also introduces potential comedic effect with its gravity console command. As you try to escape the small, infected town of Fairfield, you can enable a cheat that will lower the gravity to remove the game's native jump cap.
Begin the game. Select "Options" in the game's main menu.
Select the "Keyboard/Mouse" option in the options menu, then select the "Allow Developers Console" option. Begin playing the game.
Press the "~" option during play, then type the following text into the prompt:
Sv_Cheats 1
This will enable cheat mode.
Type the following into the prompt:
ent_fire !self addoutput "gravity 0.10
This will lower the game's gravity.
Tips
This cheat is only available on the PC version of the game.
