The best decks to use in Back 4 Blood

Back 4 Blood was sold as the spiritual successor to the hit zombie FPS Left 4 Dead, but it has more going on than that. The game innovated upon its inspiration in many ways, most prominently in its card system.

Runs of the game's story mode can take endless directions thanks to a deck-building system. This dynamic allows Cleaners to customize their compositions and improve their ability to play certain roles on a team.
