1
General Tips: Barricading doors is optional but slows zombies. Avoid the Break room. Do not board up the Staff room doorway until all players are safe or dead. Use the roof ledge to help others up and practice the jump. Ensure all players exit the apartment before pushing the police car barricade to trigger the next cutscene. If Officer Dorian is present when someone goes to the Footbridge, evade zombies; otherwise, assemble the DETONATOR.
2
Easy Difficulty: The STAFF ROOM KEY is always on the bar. The KEY WITH BLUE TAG is always on the coffee table in the Staff room. The FORKLIFT KEY is always in the Wine room.
3
Normal Difficulty: The STAFF ROOM KEY is always in the Men's bathroom (unless Alyssa is present and skilled). The KEY WITH BLUE TAG is always on the coffee table. The FORKLIFT KEY is always in the Wine room.
4
Hard Difficulty: The STAFF ROOM KEY is always in the Men's bathroom, possibly under a GREEN HERB (unless Alyssa is working). The KEY WITH BLUE TAG is always on the coffee table. The FORKLIFT KEY is in the Owner's room drawer, requiring the portrait puzzle, or can be obtained by slamming into the shutter in the Liquor room.
5
Very Hard Difficulty: The STAFF ROOM KEY is dropped by Will after zombies attack; it's best to break through the door. The KEY WITH BLUE TAG can be under the LIGHTER in the Drawing room, on the Staff room coffee table, or on a chair in the Owner's room. The FORKLIFT KEY is in the Owner's room drawer, requiring the portrait puzzle, or can be obtained by slamming into the shutter in the Liquor room.
6
Giant Ant Mutations (Hard & Very Hard): Keep moving, even when in DANGER. Join partners in stomping ants, but focus on different ones. Consistent stomps keep them at bay and eventually defeat them.

Tips

Barricading the door in the bar is optional; it slows zombies but may not be necessary on easier difficulties or if you move quickly.
The Break room should be avoided.
Delay boarding up the Staff room doorway until all players are safe or dead.
Utilize the roof ledge for assisting other players with the jump.
Ensure all players are out of the apartment before completing the police car barricade to avoid delaying the next cutscene.
For level completion, if Officer Dorian is present when a player heads to the Footbridge, prioritize evading zombies over fighting them. Otherwise, assemble the DETONATOR.
On Easy, the STAFF ROOM KEY is on the bar, the KEY WITH BLUE TAG is on the coffee table in the Staff room, and the FORKLIFT KEY is in the Wine room.
On Normal, the STAFF ROOM KEY is in the Men's bathroom, the KEY WITH BLUE TAG is on the coffee table, and the FORKLIFT KEY is in the Wine room.
On Hard, the STAFF ROOM KEY is in the Men's bathroom (potentially under a GREEN HERB), the KEY WITH BLUE TAG is on the coffee table, and the FORKLIFT KEY is in the Owner's room drawer (requiring a puzzle) or accessible via the Liquor room shutter.
On Very Hard, the STAFF ROOM KEY is dropped by Will after a zombie attack (breaking the door is recommended), the KEY WITH BLUE TAG has multiple possible locations (Drawing room under lighter, Staff room coffee table, Owner's room chair), and the FORKLIFT KEY is in the Owner's room drawer (puzzle) or accessible via the Liquor room shutter.
When fighting Giant Ant Mutations, constant movement is key. Coordinate stomps with teammates on different ants to keep them at bay.
