Learn how to get the CR0WND achievement in Left 4 Dead! This guide covers surviving the generator room, using the minigun, and strategic use of gas cans.

Alright, so you're going for that CR0WND achievement, huh? It's all about surviving this final stand in the generator room. Don't sweat it, I'll walk you through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head up the stairs towards the generator room. This is your last stand, so your main goal is just to survive everything that comes at you in here.
  2. 2
    As soon as you enter, check out the front of the room. You'll find plenty of Molotov cocktails there. Grab any you need if you're running low on throwable weapons.
  3. 3
    To your right, there's a minigun stationed. This thing can be a lifesaver, so keep it in mind. Right behind the minigun, you'll also spot another first-aid station with health if you need it.
  4. 4
    Now, the tricky part: to open the floodgates – and I mean both the steel door and the massive wave of Infected that's about to come through it – you need to flip the switch on the opposite side of the room.
  5. 5
    The minigun is tempting, but watch out! Infected will crawl out from the hole right behind it and try to sneak up on you. You gotta keep moving and use your best weapon (anything upgraded is better than the hunting rifle) to keep them at bay.
  6. 6
    Keep an eye out for two red gas canisters, one on each side of the opening door. You can shoot these to create a nice fiery blast, or even pick them up and throw them for some strategic crowd control.
  7. 7
    The Horde might show up, or it might not – depends on how chaotic things get. If you get coated in Boomer bile or just need a boost, use your first-aid kit or pain pills whenever you get a brief moment of calm. And hey, if you're lucky, one of your teammates might just heal you up!
Tips
  • There's a neat trick to avoid the main horde event in the generator room, courtesy of Dybo. First, clear out all the Infected already in the room. Then, grab extra Molotovs and pills from the tables and the minigun room. Head to the power box you need to activate to open the shutter. Start smacking the power box – it'll take about 50 hits, give or take.
  • After smacking the box, jump onto it. You might need to jump onto another box to its left first. If you hit the power box enough times, you'll get launched into the air. Be careful though, if you hit the box too much, you might not make it to the ledge.
