How to Download/Update L4D2 Add-on Maps

  1. Go to the L4D2Center add-on maps list page:
  2. Download the "Scripts for automatic map sync" based on your operating system:
    • If you're using Windows, download the .bat file.
    • If you're using Linux, download the .sh file.
  3. Run the script:
    • If you're on Windows, Windows Defender SmartScreen may display a warning prompt asking if you want to run the file. Rest assured, it's safe — simply choose "Run anyway" to proceed.
  4. The add-on maps will be updated in your game directory:
    • The script will automatically download any missing add-on maps and update any outdated ones from its list.
    • During this process, any add-ons that are not part of the update will be disabled.
    • After the script completes, you’ll need to manually re-enable these add-ons in the in-game "Add-ons" page.
