Over-all Tips
 * Teamwork is essential to long-term survival.
 * In this mode, most of the popular choke points, closets and easily defensible corners are removed. Even if you find one that has not been removed, it is not recommended that you fight from there as the Tank will quickly defeat you when he arrives.
 * You have an infinite amount of time to prepare. Use this to your advantage. Take as much time as you can to set up gas cans, propane tanks, oxygen tanks and to find a good place to fight from.
 * When searching for a place to fight from, remember that you need a location that not only limits where the horde attacks from, but also gives you a fair chance against the Tank. You need to either be able to fall back and deal with the Tank easily, or have a good enough vantage point to kill him before he can get too close.
 * Ammunition is a problem. Unless you are being overrun with infected or fighting a Tank, try to use your pistols as much as possible. Conserving ammunition should be a priority, as trying to get more during a horde attack can often be fatal. When you do head out for ammunition, remember to take at least one teammate with you.

Usage
summary

''This template is the heading of the Survival tactics in a walkthrough, if there is an available Survival mode in the level. It is a list of things and general tactics that they should keep in mind.''

Created so that campaign articles could include Survival tactics that are easier to add and maintain: as all of the "Over-all Tips" should be the same, a template or a master copy of sorts. Also, it will eliminate the need to copy and paste this into a new article if it's needed there.

The variable should be substituted with a small and encouraging summary of what the Survivors need to do to start the round and hold out. Preferably only a few lines long.
