Second Floor
The path through the second fl oor is completely
linear, but be sure to watch the side rooms for
infected attempting to blindside your team. The
side rooms can also be good sources for pickups
such as pills and molotov cocktails. If you haven’t
encountered a swarm attack by now, be ready for
one here. You can hear these attacks building up
before you can actually see them, so be ready to
take a stand when you hear an incoming horde
thundering through the building. Make sure
everyone in the team has a clear angle on the
hostiles and do your best to avoid friendly fi re—if
a zombie is close to a teammate, move it away
with a melee attack before shooting.
Continue advancing through the second fl oor,
dispatching the undead as you go. When you
come to this hole in the fl oor, stop and wait for
everyone to catch up. There are usually multiple
zombies on the fl oor below, some climbing up
through the hole in an attempt to reach your
team. Clear the visible space below before
dropping through to reach the fi rst fl oor. If you
have a molotov cocktail, toss it down through
the hole to incinerate the zombies below. When
the fi rst fl oor looks clear, make sure everyone on
your team drops through the hole at the same
time. This will prevent anyone from getting stuck
or pinned on the second fl oor. Plus, it allows your
entire team to impose its fi repower on any threats
lurking on the fi rst fl oor.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme caution at
elevation transitions such as the
hole in the floor. These are one-
way transitions, meaning that
when you drop through, there
is no way to get back up. This
makes them perfect places for
the infected to set up ambushes,
particularly during versus mode.
For example, if three survivors
drop through the hole and leave
a buddy upstairs, a Hunter or
Smoker can pin or ensnare the
straggler and pummel your
teammate to death. The victim’s
teammates on the first floor
have no way to stop the attack,
since there’s no way to get back
to the second floor. For this
reason, survivors should always
drop through areas like this
at the same time. If necessary,
initiate a voice countdown to
ensure everyone drops through
simultaneously. On the other
hand, if you’re playing as the
infected, exploit these areas as
much as possible in an effort to
split up the survivors.
