Left 4 Dead Boathouse Finale dock strategy: defend the pier, manage ammo, and use pipebombs for refuel runs.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Position yourself on the dock where the ship arrives. This creates a single avenue of attack for the infected.
  2. 2
    Be prepared for some infected to attempt to attack along the water. They will need to crawl up the side of the pier, making them easy targets.
  3. 3
    A hunting rifle is particularly effective against infected attempting to climb the pier.
  4. 4
    Ensure you have ample ammunition.
  5. 5
    Be ready to quickly dash to the house to refuel (restock ammo).
  6. 6
    To create extra time during a refuel run, toss a pipebomb (an explosive thrown weapon) to deter pursuing infected.
  7. 7
    Holding the dock provides an advantageous position for the finale.
Tips
  • The dock funnels infected into a single path, making them easier to eliminate.
  • The hunting rifle excels at picking off infected as they climb the pier.
  • Plan your ammo runs carefully and use pipebombs to cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) your retreat.
