If you are in a tight space, try to stun as many survivors you can in your charge - you probably won't last long. Aim the survivor away from the pack and carry him or her as far as you can.

Large open spaces are ideal for charging.

Also, the Charger has more life than any special infected other than the Tank, so it can hold its own for a brief period of time. The recharge time for the primary charge attack is long enough to make this useful. If the Charger misses (a common occurrence due to clever, side-stepping survivors) his secondary claw swipe attack can be used to inflict a decent amount of damage - 10 HP a hit. The initial charge can stun - and slightly damage - any survivor it hits, even if the charge doesn't result in a successful grab. At this point, the Charger pins the survivor and pounds him or her into the ground for 15 HP damage a pound - that's quite a bit of damage! The Charger cannot be knocked off it must be killed by the other survivors.

When aimed properly, the Charger will grab a survivor and carry him or a pre-set distance (or until it hits an obstacle). To accomplish this, the Charger uses its main attack - a charge leveled directly at a survivor. The Charger, much like the Jockey, is an important tool for physically separating a pack of survivors. Strike during a Tank attack and survivors will be too distracted to notice their missing teammate.Thus, quickly driving your prey to the edge of a precipice is a good strategy. This may be due to how much they resist you - if they don't resist, they may not grab the ledge. Sometimes steering a survivor off a ledge results in an instant death.

Limping survivors move more slowly when Jockeyed.Lead a survivor away to give an infected teammate a chance to do some real damage. Hunters and Chargers can snag a Jockeyed survivor with their attacks and do greater damage.This will force the others to backtrack giving you more time for mischief. If you know a level well, be sure to pull the survivor away from the survivors' goal or safehouse.This can help you remain hidden despite the Jockey's audible cackling that tends to give away his position. You can drop onto a survivor from a rooftop instead of jumping to initiate the attack.The Jockey's secondary attack is a claw swipe that does minimal damage, so maintaining your ground after getting knocked off is not a good idea. The recharge period for the leaping grab is 30 seconds, so retreating into a secluded place is essential. The Jockey's ride comes to an end when the survivor is incapacitated or if its knocked off by a melee attack. If the other survivors rescue their hanging cohort immediately, the Jockey death may not be worth it (although it is an entertaining diversion). The Jockey can also pilot a survivor straight off of a ledge this will kill the Jockey and leave the survivor in need of assistance. Better yet, steer the survivor into a greater threat like a Witch or a puddle of Spitter acid. In general, the Jockey should ride a survivor far away from the pack or into an obscured area, like a dark room in a building.

In addition to this, the Jockey can control the Survivor's movements while riding him or her. Upon successfully attaching, the Jockey will rip at the survivor's face for 5 HP in damage every few seconds. You need to aim this leap directly at a survivor from a short distance away, which means you'll be exposed to fire on your approach. The Jockey's primary attack is a leaping grab that allows it to attach to a survivor's upper torso. To do this, you must carefully select a survivor, preferably someone who is already straggling. The Jockey's main purpose is to separate a single survivor from the pack. They can climb walls using specially marked tracks to get the drop on survivors from rooftops. The special infected have their own ways of traversing levels.
