About these numbers: Health is the Left 4 Dead 1 Normal pool unless the row names another mode. Valve never tied HP to real units, so this page compares pools.

About this converter

Left 4 Dead 1 prints fixed health per infected on Normal, and Tanks scale it by mode. Boomers and commons hold 50 each. Survivors hold 100. Hunters and Smokers hold 250 each. The Witch holds 1,000. Tanks climb: 3,000 on Easy, 4,000 on Normal and Survival, 6,000 in Versus, and 8,000 on Advanced and Expert. The 6,000 figure belongs to Versus, not Normal, which the rows separate. Charger, Jockey and Spitter are Left 4 Dead 2 only and stay out to keep one clean L4D1 set. Every figure here is the infobox cell from Left 4 Dead Wiki pages.

How to use it

Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Expert Tank against 1 Boomer to see the boss to bile gap. The ratio line prints how many times tougher one pool is.

Non Tank infected list one Wiki value assumed constant across difficulties, flagged in rows. Only 10 rows exist because L4D1 ships six infected types plus survivors, which the note records per the exception rule. Charger, Jockey and Spitter belong to the sequel and stay out.
