Detailed Left 4 Dead walkthrough for 'to worry about US...' section. Learn how to navigate the town, find ammo, weapons, and overcome special infected like the Tank and Witch.
Once the Horde is no more, refuel and you'll soon notice that the door to the safe house is wide open. Dash inside before any Special Infected storm the church. Um, just where the heck did the guy inside go?
THE TOWN
Climb the ladder and collect anything here you need, then leave. Drop down from the church roof into the courtyard. You may have to fight a Tank here, so keep that in the back of your mind. Move through the hole in the brick wall and kill any Infected nearby. To the right is the blockade, so go to the left instead. The back of the truck that's embedded in the wall is open, which usually contains a fuel can or propane tank inside.
Two buses have blocked off the street, so head into the parking lot of the Quik Buy. You can either hop over the sandbags to get on the other side of the street or go inside the convenience store. I'll go with the second option, since you can find a nice ammo cache inside.
Check the second room on the right for ammo and a weapon on the ground. The warehouse across from the Quik Buy is usually empty as well as the unnamed convenience store across the street, but it doesn't hurt to look.
Follow the street towards the homes and you'll come across even more Infected. Your next destination is the parking lot of the local florist; if you want, you can run back to the Quik Buy to refill on ammo.
The florist is on the left, so naturally, enter the buildings in the middle and on the right. You'll often find pipe bombs in one of the two, which as you know are great for dealing with the Horde. Afterwards, enter the florist. It's a small shop, but it may hold some goods. Exit into the parking lot, where more Infected lie. Some like to wait out on the hotel ledge to the right. As always, explore the random buildings for weapons or items before moving out onto the street.
Enter the next parking lot on the right. Eliminate the baddies before entering the building on the far side. Collect the ammo just after entering, then exit. Note the sign on the side of the white van; good news. Jump onto the van, then up to the ledge and continue.
Clear out the office, then approach the windows. Take your sweet time sniping any and every Infected on the street below. Once you're ready to move on, drop onto the awning and see if you can find any more Infected to kill. It's best to take down as many as you can before dropping down to ground level.
Descend to the street and take down any survivors. Proceed to the far end to find a minigun and a forklift. You must activate the forklift to make a ramp. Well, now we know what the minigun is for.
If you're like me and always manage to find a Witch here, have no fear! If you are lucky and she is planted in front of the minigun, just gun her down (one shot is enough to kill her). If she is somewhere else... then you aren't as lucky. You're probably going to have to kill her if she isn't in a concealed area because you might accidentally spook her when fighting against the Horde that shows up.
Lower the forklift and get on the minigun. As the forklift crashes down onto a car, the alarm is set off. The Horde will drop down from the ledge beyond the forklift, so you should have no trouble taking down most of them with your minigun. Just watch out for Smokers and Hunters that appear from behind and take out your teammates.
Tip: Strategy by Zigg
When you are moving through town, and you come to the horde event where you lower the fork lift, it is possible to bypass this event completely, similar to the tip above in No Mercy where you are able to smash down the warehouse door in the Sewers level.
When you come to the point that you are ready to lower the forklift, and therefore alerting the horde, DON'T! Instead, go over to the minigun that is in the street and begin to melee it. I know it sounds strange, but when you melee the minigun enough, you kind of charge it up into a catapult. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.
After you have hit the mini gun enough times, run from behind it and jump on it. If you have charged it enough ( you will know if you have) and you hit it right, you will be catapulted over top of the barrier and land on the other side, thereby completely avoiding the horde and able to continue trying to survive. Great tactic for expert.
If you do it single player, eventually your bots will teleport beside you.
