Best Speed Deck Build in Back 4 Blood

In Back 4 Blood, players can deal with zombie hordes and get to the safehouse in many different ways. Usually, coordinated teams will try to diversify their builds and have each teammate cover a different archetype. This allows for the most versatile route to victory, which helps when accounting for the many different types of enemies in Back 4 Blood.

One of the Back 4 Blood builds that can help players finish levels in good time is the Speed build. A Speed build focuses primarily on movement speed, sprint efficiency, and breaking out of crowd control abilities. Players who run this build will be able to sprint right past hordes of zombies and make it to the objective as fast as possible, which can help quite a bit in most situations. It also provides kiting ability in situations in which a horde does have to be cleared before progressing.

The Speed build is a pretty squishy build, and it also doesn’t offer much in the way of damage bonuses, so players should keep in mind that this build is specifically for speeding through levels as quickly as possible. That being said, the mobility this build provides can be extremely powerful. It is important to note these things before committing since players can’t currently try out cards at Back 4 Blood’s Practice Range.

The cards marked by a star are the ones that any player using this build should include no matter what. Ones without a star are still useful, but are weapon-dependent or add helpful, but not totally necessary, benefits to this particular Back 4 Blood Speed Build.

Back 4 Blood is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation, PlayStation 5, and PC.
