Console Commands
Games running on the source engine can utilize Source Engine Console Commands for various tasks. To use the Console you need to enable it first by going to options -> Keyboard/Mouse -> Allow Developer Console and change it to enabled. To open the console command window press the tilde key in the upper left hand corner of your keyboard (`~). Some console commands require that the server has sv_cheats set to 1 in order to be allowed.
Common Commands
This is a list of common commands that do not require the use of sv_cheats
- bind "key" "command(s)": This binds a command(s) to the set key
- chooseteam: Allows you to change team in versus
- cl_colorblind: Set to 1 for high contrast crosshairs. Set to 2 for specific color changes intended to help common types of color blindness.
- cl_showfps "0-2": Displays the current FPS (0 = off, 1 = real time, 2 = average over the past few seconds)

Common Commands that require sv_cheats
To turn on sv_cheats open the console on the main menu and type "map" "mapname" (without the quotes) then once the map is loaded type sv_cheats 1 into the console. Note this will prevent you from earning achievements until you restart the game.
- adrenaline_duration "#": How long the effects of adrenaline lasts (default is 15.0)
- adrenaline_run_speed "#": How fast one runs while under the effects of adrenaline (default is 260)

Spawning the Leaker
The Leaker was to be a new special infected that caught survivors on fire by committing suicide near them. However it was cut in favor of Spitter. The Leaker is quite buggy as it was never meant to be in the final version of the game and as such does not take damage other then from itself during suicide.
List of commands in the order they must occur:
- sv_cheats 1
- boomer_leaker_chance 100
- z_spawn boomer
Creating your own CFG and running it
A CFG is a file that contains a list of commands that when run will attempt to execute them all
Open up a text editor such as notepad and type in all the commands you want separating each with a ";" (remove the quotes). When done save the file as filename.cfg in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\cfg" (NOTE: This directory may be different depending on your installation location and what OS you are running). To run the cfg open the console during the game and type in "exec filename.cfg" (remove quotes).
Cut/Uncut
Some versions of the game you purchased or get gifted via steam are cut, the german version being the best example, in which there is almost literally no blood, literally no gore and the corpses disappear mostly before they hit the floor.
Uncutting
If you live in the USA and one of your German friends gift you the game via Steam, you'll have the cut version even though it's not necessary in your country.
There is a way to uncut the game WITHOUT downloading a gore patch. You simply click Start and then click on run (or press windows+r) and type: regedit, after that you find the following: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE and then rename the folder called Valve to Valve_old.
This has worked for all people whom ever did it right and is NOT illegal, if you were to contact costumer support for this, it's what they'd tell you to do. But there are no sources indicating that it will work if your PC/Laptop is actually in Germany since it's necessary there.
