Whitaker's Gun Shop

Whitaker's Gun Shop is a minor objective and setting for the second chapter of the Dead Center campaign in Left 4 Dead 2. The address is located just north of Highway 10 near the Save 4 Less mini grocery store just off Interstate #16.

History
The gun shop is owned and operated by a man called Whitaker and is open 364 days of the year. His current business hours are:


 * Monday to Friday: 9:00am - 6:30pm
 * Saturday: 9:00am - 5:30pm
 * Sunday: 12:30pm - 5:30pm

He has an inventory of weapons for people to choose from. Many of the weapons are fully-automatic meaning that either Whitaker is a Class 3 Federal Firearms License dealer licensed to sell machine guns or that he illegally converted the weapons to be capable of fully-automatic fire at some point, presumably after the epidemic spread out of control.

Whitaker's Gun Shop also offers other services such as hand gun cleaning, personal defense training, hunting and fishing licenses, target practicing, and the buying and trading of other firearms.

Here is a list of Whitaker's Gun Shop Inventory:

Current Status
Hearing that the Infection was spreading out of control and that the CEDA evacuation centers were slowly being overrun or closed, Whitaker decided it was best for him to be holed up on the second floor of his gun shop. With the Vannah evacuation center closing down and hearing that the Liberty Mall evacuation center was being overrun, he quickly built and barricaded himself in a little bunker on the second floor. He gathered supplies such as weapons, ammo, and food but forgot to get beverages to keep himself hydrated through the Georgian climate.

By then, the group of Survivors arrives at the gun store. To continue on getting to the evacuation center at Liberty Mall, they contact Whitaker by intercom and he creates a deal with the Survivors saying that if they go and get a case of Cola from the Save 4 Less supermarket, he will clear the way to the mall by destroying a tanker truck and a cement barricade with his Grenade Launcher. He will even throw in the weapons on display in his shop free of charge, if Survivors have not already taken any of his firearms. Once the Survivors do this task, they proceed onward to the mall leaving Whitaker in his zombie-proof gun shop heaven.

It is unknown how long Whitaker stayed in his safe room or if he is still alive.
