Left 4 Dead 2 Avatar Awards Confirmed Written Thursday, October 29, 2009 by Jason Debelyak Valve has announced that you will be able earn awards for your avatar by accomplishing certain tasks in Left 4 Dead 2. The following awards are the current ones that we know about, however we're not sure if this is the complete list. However, here are some of the nifty awards that you will be able to sport on your Avatars when the game drops on November 17:
Definietly some good news to see that Microsoft is starting to make good use of the Avatar Award system. Hopefully we see more games that will incorporate them in the near future! | |

 | Comment #6 by Emfulz Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:07:50 AM I KNEW THAT GNOME WAS GOING TO HAUNT EVERYONE! It'd be nice to get the Gnome prop instead of a shirt though... |
 | Comment #7 by toonsage Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:19:13 AM nice to see that awards have made thier move =D btw has splosion man awards come out yet? |
 | Comment #8 by xtye Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:19:57 AM Score for avatar awards! |
 | Comment #9 by Filter x360a Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:28:17 AM @7 Apparently if you have the preview beta and received the update this morning, you should be able to get the avatar awards for 'splosion man |
 | Comment #10 by strawberry Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:29:23 AM @6 I agree lol.... also, if episode 3 of halflife ever hits the xbox (when it drops, which might be never) I WANT A CROWBAR FOR MY AVATAR!!!! |
 | Comment #11 by MakoBallistic Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:29:47 AM now if only theyd let us use our unlocked achievement tiles as gamerpics. |
 | Comment #12 by Dead by Don Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:43:49 AM Lips has also been dishing out avatar awards for almost a week now. |
 | Comment #13 by Delboy06eu Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:45:58 AM Tbh, they look a little too easy. Beat all 5 campaigns? Doesn't even specify if this needs to be done on Hard/normal/Expert. Call me old fashioned but i do like to have to work for my 'cheevers. |
 | Comment #14 by Patto Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:48:13 AM It would be better if the game had avatar support but free stuff is always good. |
 | Comment #15 by zyxomma100 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:48:43 AM Not a fan of Left 4 Dead, but I'm glad that the avatar awards thing is picking up. If awards get more widespread throughout games, then all the avatar editor needs is a color change feature for all its clothing and it would actually be fun. |
 | Comment #16 by Celestial Being Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 01:54:11 AM damn not a good week for this game to come out for me. already picking up AC2. L4D2 is a rental for me now. |
 | Comment #17 by N1GHTWALKER 823 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:03:55 AM Nice |
 | Comment #18 by christiansteele Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:13:20 AM Can't wait for this, going to be a great game, and the awards look fantastic! Med Kit babeh, along with the Zombieh Hand T-shirt! |
 | Comment #19 by Tim1601 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:22:44 AM If this game isn't region locked I might just import it on 360 instead of getting it on pc.............................I'm in Australia and the pc version is censored to the shithouse. |
 | Comment #20 by Beanovsky Durst Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:28:50 AM I saved the gnome once... I'll do it again you diminituve bastard!!! I want the zombie hand T-Shirt!!!! |
 | Comment #21 by xAUSx_BLUE Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:37:56 AM @ 19 every version of the game over here is censored and its a bad week mw2, ac2 and l4d2....lots of 2's |
 | Comment #22 by DENAz666 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:50:49 AM Awesome! |
 | Comment #23 by xsoenx Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:52:18 AM cool that the game have avatar awards cant wait |
 | Comment #24 by IX Kenneth XI Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:28:05 AM @13. Awards aren't achievements..? But if you want to work, I presume that you've seen the achievement 'STILL SOMETHING TO PROVE!' in which you're required to complete all 5 campaigns on expert. There we go Sir ;). |
 | Comment #25 by KIDDRAGON67 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:35:22 AM awseome! lovely awards and easy too, i was hoping for a boomer outfit :p |
 | Comment #26 by beezelBug Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:38:58 AM does a happy jig. Joystiq announced there are 9 rewards to unlock! |
 | Comment #27 by danny hampson Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:42:41 AM i hope alot of games start to use these awards, there a nice feature, does anyone know if mw2 or ac2 comes with awards or not? |
 | Comment #28 by cstoeber Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:50:25 AM WHOA! Never thaught about buying this one... but a Depeche Mode-Shirt? Hmm... |
 | Comment #29 by samjustsam Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:06:28 AM cool. this seems good. a med kit for your avatar and a depeche mode shirt. awesome! as long as m$ dont ask us to pay for the stuff to be able to use/wear it. |
 | Comment #30 by dirge Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:13:31 AM Valve ftw!!! |
 | Comment #31 by [Waggly Bean] Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:18:14 AM Yep saw this last night. Pretty cool, hopefully avatar awards will start to be included in every game - some of these shirts look pretty decent, but you can bet that a week or so after release and pretty much everyone on your friend's list will be wearing them! |
 | Comment #32 by DreddPirate Rob Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:22:11 AM Depeche Mode shirt GET! |
 | Comment #33 by Bullitt Bill Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:29:08 AM Sweet! After FINALLY getting my 'Splosion Man awards I was wondering which game on my list of wants would be next, and am I ever glad it's this one :D |
 | Comment #34 by Kyanite Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:33:15 AM Depeche Mode? I'm not a fan of theirs at all, though I do like Lacuna Coil's cover of "Enjoy the Silence" and Manson's cover of "Personal Jesus". Since I don't givea damn about avatars, I don't know if this is the first band shirt for them, but it's cool that one made it into the system. Perhaps I would be interested if they made a Dream Theater, Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Pantera, Pink Floyd or Black Sabbath shirt. |
 | Comment #35 by snake2895 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:35:29 AM Least Valve understand what the meaning of "Free" is unlike M$. |
| Comment #36 by Bullitt Bill Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:37:22 AM According to this you get the frying pan and gnome as unlockables as well: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=11725508#post11725508 |
 | Comment #37 by Skozy the great Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:38:58 AM anyone else having a problem with the lips awards? Went back on the game after they updated it to include awards, sang a song which shouldve unlocked 2 awards, but nothing happened Not too bothered, jus wanted to check out how the awards sytem worked :P Also what happened to the beatles shirt you were meant to get From beatles rockband? |
 | Comment #38 by bladewound Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:57:09 AM Ok that List is nice i want the L4D shirt and The zombie hand shirt. Lol can't wait to try and save gnome chompski XD and im glad that a game is using the Avatar awards, wasn't splosion man surposed to have had awards? i haven't heard much more about it. |
 | Comment #39 by Jimbo76 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 04:58:50 AM man I want that depeche mode shirt. cant wait. |
 | Comment #40 by NightUlf Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 05:02:06 AM At last, about time this award scheme got started. Hopefully this will be a start of more to come. : ) |
 | Comment #41 by halofan1989 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 05:07:21 AM And the last horse finally crosses the finish line. Avatar awards... woot!! |
 | Comment #42 by Gonzo345 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 05:24:01 AM Nice to see it, but I tested the demo yesterday and this game is WORSE than L4D1... |
 | Comment #43 by MachineHero Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 05:56:09 AM L4D was fun...for the first few months but then it got reaaaalllly old and repetitive right away so hopefully it won't be this way again but I'm still skeptical |
 | Comment #44 by Dox Almighty Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 06:19:29 AM lol at the Bull Shifters shirt. Had to blink at that one a couple times. Agree with #43 the first was awesome for a bit but then got pretty tiresome, but watching Zombieland in theaters has made me extremely excited about this one (that and the supreme graphics). I expect the gameplay to be mostly the same but I read about all the weapons and new zombies they added. Those things on top of the fact that zombie/horror games are the only ones my wife will play with me have me pretty freakin' pumped. |
 | Comment #45 by FuriousAli007 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 06:54:12 AM Finally now if only more games would use Avatar awards. |
 | Comment #46 by Zmoke Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 06:54:41 AM It seems as there is no sense to buy avatar gear when you can get it from good games as well. Well, I didn't or won't buy any either so this is good news. |
 | Comment #47 by Cyberfire Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 07:00:38 AM I'm liking this. :) Can't wait for my medkit. |
 | Comment #48 by verybadloser Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 07:07:21 AM 5 parts of carrying a gnome about sound srather fun :P, hopefully there are no buggies to drive on l4d2 :p |
 | Comment #49 by Hitchcock Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 07:12:33 AM dope it's good to see em finally using the avatar awards |
 | Comment #50 by yamayamayaamaa Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 07:27:17 AM Yeah but when will AA's be available? |
 | Comment #51 by Alabastermatt Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 07:44:56 AM @2 i very much agree, i love l4d but its gonna be hard to pull meself of MW2 and forza3 |
 | Comment #52 by seahn Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 07:58:34 AM id like to see something different for the gnome, although im very excited for all the items, only wish they were all different types so i could nerd it out with all of the items on at once, haha, but yeah, this is going to be sweet, hope the SI don't have it out for the gnome like the heli did in HL2 |
 | Comment #53 by FatalFlaw810 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:01:53 AM Too bad I'm not getting Left4Dead 2 but for anyone who is this is great. I'm hoping they can add this to a lot more games in the future! |
 | Comment #54 by sivart32 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:06:21 AM @42 your comment fails...... |
 | Comment #55 by Dlark17 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:13:08 AM Wait... when did the Avatar Awards actually start working? I still don't have my 'Splosion Man shirts, darn it! P.S.: Are we going to have an entire guide/section dedicated to getting Avatar Awards? I'd like to see the list of what games are participating atm. So far I only know 'SM, ODST, and this. Are there any other current or older titles that support this? |
 | Comment #56 by Rooster425 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:15:49 AM I'd buy the game just to get the Depeche Mode shirt. |
 | Comment #57 by Bebe Buell Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:21:52 AM Nice! Hope more games will have these kind of rewards. |
 | Comment #58 by RiverTooth Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:26:40 AM its about time games started using the awards. im looking forward to this =) |
 | Comment #59 by a random cat Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:28:48 AM Nice to see that you can get avatar awards. Not sure how some of the shirts will look like, but it's nice to see that avatar awards out now. |
 | Comment #60 by AK46 Guerriero Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:44:01 AM sweet deal, I can't wait! |
| Comment #61 by crazyman Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 09:03:23 AM wasnt sure whether to get this or ac2 but this just pushed me over the edge!!!!! so in 2 weeks ill have modern warfare 2 &then only a week later till L4D2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love my life! |
 | Comment #62 by SuperWoody64 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 09:04:17 AM I wish they could put awards in older games. I guess we'll have to wait for new vegas for a vault outfit (fallout) Anyhow, this just makes this game that much more worth 60 bones, or clams... I thinnk the "9" unlockables are 4 shirts boy/girl and the fry pan. |
 | Comment #63 by SSR_2K8 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 09:07:23 AM Very nice shirts for my avatar....I've seen them myself on a video preview at G4 website! |
 | Comment #64 by gldnbomb1 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 09:47:54 AM about damn time we get awards. |

 | Comment #67 by IgnitionSequence Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:29:13 AM Glad to see they're finally implementing awards for new games. It took them long enough. |
 | Comment #68 by Bleeding Star Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:34:24 AM thats awesome |
 | Comment #69 by DunamisMan Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:40:33 AM AHHHH! I can't wait! Nov. 17 seems so far away! |
 | Comment #70 by NJ x BaNdiT Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:41:46 AM only a t-shirt for killing 10,000 infected? zombified avatar sounds better |
 | Comment #71 by Cinderkin Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:46:06 AM It's About Time! Avatar Awards are useless without games to give out awards. Thanks Valve. |
 | Comment #72 by The Globalizer Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:50:41 AM There needs to be a gnome prop, definitely. |
 | Comment #73 by Reaper_Grim Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:52:01 AM how about a chainsaw prop? Can't wait for this game regardless! |
 | Comment #74 by timm the zombie Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:58:52 AM I want a shotty prop, how can my avatar kill zombies without a shotty |
 | Comment #75 by B Rock3232 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 11:04:29 AM Freakin SWEET!!!! This game just keeps getting better and better. I just want to say Valve you ROCK!!!!! |
 | Comment #76 by VladimirK Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 11:31:57 AM I killed 10,000 zombies and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt :P Haha, that looks great though, got this pre ordered. |
 | Comment #77 by Akatsuki Sw1tch Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 11:46:16 AM About time SOMEONE actually did avatar awards for a game (So many broken promises) Now all we need is the bloody demo. |
 | Comment #78 by kelnoker Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 12:46:03 PM that's pretty cool, it's a kind of "achievements". great ideas |
 | Comment #79 by CheesyToast111 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 12:59:16 PM Only ten thousand? Isn't there an achievement for more than 53,000? Like what Gears did with Seriously |

 | Comment #86 by gamerkish Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 02:55:44 PM hopefully their will be avatar awards for MW2 but i will probably get left 4 dead for the fun and achievements |
 | Comment #87 by The Bum-Mobile Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:03:03 PM Great news! I won't have the game 'till Christmas but that's fine. |
 | Comment #88 by hyrulehero98 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:07:12 PM Yay more stuff to get |
| Comment #89 by SuperWoody64 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 03:24:44 PM 'Splosion man gave away 2 shirts, 2 gamerpics and a premium theme with their game. Step it up "other developers"! This is a decent freebie though valve, I'll definitely use the medpack backpack. Rather have the cricket bat than the garbage frying pan tho... |
 | Comment #90 by Olzy31 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 05:38:05 PM November is going to be awesome! |
 | Comment #91 by MrMario2011 Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 06:09:10 PM NICE!!! AWARDS FOR A GAME THAT I WILL ACTUALLY PLAY!!! |
 | Comment #92 by Americow Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 06:35:27 PM YES! FUCK CODMW2!!! L4D2!!! |

 | Comment #94 by SoBeRxFTW Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 08:15:01 PM Hell yeah a Depeche Mode shirt!! I love the band!! But I wonder why they would put it in L4D2. |
 | Comment #95 by blayde Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 10:41:36 PM Now just ive me Ezio's hooded jacket and imma be like AWWW YEA! lol I'd like that medikit, this has moved this game up in my list somewhat. |
 | Comment #96 by ERIKDOTCOM Saturday, October 31, 2009 @ 09:37:38 AM Alright! I've been looking forward to the use of avatar awards... Frequently at least. |
 | Comment #97 by XII Blackhawk Monday, November 02, 2009 @ 05:51:14 AM The reason they dont have guns, chainsaws (REAL weapons) is because these are supposed to be for all ages. If they were to include these, some idiots would cry about it and microsoft would get done for it or forced to make the console something rediculous like 7+ (which as far as im aware, the most pointless gaming rating). So they are basically watching their own asses, cant make a chainsaw look undeadly, and it would be cool to see adult exclusive content :D |
 | Comment #98 by MightyMarcin Monday, November 02, 2009 @ 03:54:07 PM i want a pantera fucking hostile tee =D |
 | Comment #99 by Thrylseeka Thursday, November 12, 2009 @ 11:21:22 PM Damn it's great news but only shirt except for the mefikit!! Can we have zombie make up or zombie style face!! (maybe just in my dream). And why not a chainsaw in my hands!!! |
 | Comment #100 by i Eat Kittenzx Sunday, November 15, 2009 @ 05:45:50 AM #100 |
 | Comment #101 by DuroNL Sunday, November 15, 2009 @ 02:14:49 PM Sweet.... Med-kit will be mine on the day of release!!! Heard there will be a frying pan as well, can't wait :) "Time to nut up or shut up!" |
