** The inventory system. You can carry limitless amounts of materials, but health items like Energy Drinks and Fruit are consumed immediately. You'll frequently find yourself backtracking to that cache of energy drinks you left alone just in case. And also, you can only carry up to 12 weapons (expandable up to 18 as you level up), so get used to dropping perfectly serviceable knives and guns as you find new or better ones. Sometimes, explosives will be leveled for no reason, which means you'll need TWO inventory slots for your regular Molotovs and those leveled ones which do exactly the same thing, since the game considers them two different weapons. And, oh, yeah - Medkits and Alcohol count as weapons too![[note]]To the extent that they can both even be equipped into a weapon slot, and used by 'attacking' with them.[[/note]] And, of course - Champagne doesn't count as Alcohol, so you can carry as much as you like!

** The quick inventory have no idea of what it's doing if you play with a pad on the PC version. No matter how you organize it, you weapons will always be a complete mess when you scroll them using the quick-draw button instead of shambling through it yourself. Why is my shotgun last when I put it in the second slot? Why can't I switch to a weapon after using a med kit? Where are my Molotovs?!
** Ryder White's campaign is filled with this, likely to help disguise the fact that it's only a few hours long. When the player isn't running and shooting like mad at the endless waves of Infected or being shot by hostile human survivors, they can look forward to seeing a respawn screen after accidentally running into yet another poorly placed Suicider and getting blown away before they even realize what is going on.

* FinishingStomp: An unlockable ability in the combat tree gives you the option to stomp any prone zombie's head into paste. This will instantly kill any zombie it's performed on, even the EliteMook variants. As a tradeoff, it has a fairly long windup and other zombies can attack you while you're doing it. The final upgrade for the combat tree turns it into a more efficient GoombaStomp.

*** It's not "unwinnable" solo, just requires a lot of patience. There are sharp weapons lying around the area, so you won't have to fight with your bare hands, the easiest way to get past is to keep on killing enemies until you get enough fury, then restart the checkpoint and activate fury and you should be able to kill most of the enemies before they do too much damage. Afterwards make sure to run ahead of your escort to kill the last few infected on the path so they don't cause you any trouble.
