Now going to Death Toll. The early levels are easier THEN it hits a difficulty spike in the Town. The finale feels a lot easier than the Town level.
Things to Do:
At the end of The Turnpike, you want to use a pipebomb at the end if you have one. Sometimes lots of infected spawn at the hill where the safehouse is at. So make your way to the bottom of the hill and throw it to get the infected away. Fortunately, there were barely any when I did this level.
In The Drains, a tank sometimes spawns where the Tier 2 weapons are. So you can either go upstairs to lead him around the circle OR run back to the saferoom to try to go around that room.
For the Crescendo, you can activate it, then run back to the beginning if you want to just to the pipes right before you enter the big room with the Tier 2 weapons. Then just hang out there until the hordes stop.
Sometimes really cheap witches spawn here. Like in the alcove right above the exit to the outside from the drains (I point it out in the video). I'm not sure how to kill the witch from here other than throwing a molotov from the bottom of the ladder.
Beware of witches that spawn in the final room (like in the video)
The Church is a very easy level especially if you get an early Tank and a boomer bile. If you get rid of the tank, the rest of the level becomes a breeze. When you reach the church, and knock on the door to begin the crescendo. You can run down the cemetery and throw your boomer bile back to the church. I failed to do this because the bots went down. BUT it's possible to run back to the beginning. You can hang out either in the safe room or the room below the housing structure you use to get over the trainyard.
Alternatively, you could also use the house I used to hang out in there, but be careful with the bots since they like to go towards the ammo to reload.
The Town is the most difficult part of this campaign mostly due to the fact that the crescendo at the end has infinite zombies.
You could use the sniper to get of infected in the beginning, but if you keep dying, it sort of gets old. It's not necessary.
If you get a tank or a witch chasing you, be aware that the saferoom at the beginning doesn't close (I always forget).
Ideally, you want a boomer bile or a Chainsaw for the crescendo, I just got lucky one spawned for me.
There are 4 strategies I use for the crescendo:
1) Try to get the bots all the way to the stairs (the wired fence in front of the end saferoom. Then throw boomer bile near the safehouse. Get in front of the safehouse with the bots, then kill all the infected
2) Get to the bus, then throw the boomer bile somewhere and try to get as close to the safehouse as possible (with the bots), then fight your way to the end.
3) Use a chainsaw with either of the above strategies. Chainsaw makes it A LOT easier.
4) If you don't have a boomer bile or a chainsaw. Your best bet would be a Sniper and a melee weapon. But it is possible to beat this crescendo using a magnum instead of the melee. The sniper is able to pierce lots of infected with one shot, so it's good for crowd control (even better than the shotgun).
As for the Boathouse Finale, activate the boat and hang out at the pier. On the Xbox360, I would recommend running back to the safehouse at the beginning or hang out in the house before you reach the cars and the forest. Just hang out there since ammo spawns there. But the infected arrive extremely slowly. Also it's easy to get rid of the Tank over at the beginning. Once both Tanks are dead, you can run to the end, and use a boomer bile or pipe bomb. This finale is very easy on xbox360. But the only difficulty that comes from using the xbox360 is that if you decide to use the pier, the bots can't pick up ammo or medkits from the boathouse due to a glitch with their pathfinding.
For the PC, you can to use the pier or the rock formation near the pier. When the Tank spawns, run to the open wooded area and kill him there. Save your molotov for the 2nd tank just in case. Also while you are defending the pier, be cautious of Smokers attempting to grab you near the rock formation on the left. If you hear a Smoker, be ready to shoot over there or melee a bot if they get grabbed (like in the video). I recommend using a magnum or rifle for this Finale.
