The Riverbank

"Hello down there! Sorry, but we can't lower the bridge!"

- Zoey

The Riverbank is the first chapter in Left 4 Dead 2 ' s The Passing campaign. The Survivors of Left 4 Dead 2 meet the Survivors of Left 4 Dead at Jimmy Gibbs Junior's racing stock car, which was taken from The Atrium in Dead Center. The Left 4 Dead Survivors inform the Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors that the only way through is across the bridge, which is raised and doesn't have enough power to be lowered. The original Survivors inform them that if they can go around to the other side of the bridge, they can power up the generator to get across.

Campaign

 * (Spoiler) Francis or Zoey are the only two who talk to you at the beginning and instruct you where to go. Louis doesn't talk to you because in one of the conversations in the The Port, Francis states Louis is injured (and who also looks that way), that is also the reason why he is on the mounted machine gun, and not moving around helping you out.

Survival

 * One of the most effective strategies would be holding on the tents. They're easy to jump on, just use the boxes around. M60 is, definitely, not a weapon of choice in this situation, you'd best be having several snipers on your team. The Infected will never get you from your back, and can be shot easily from the distance. However, two Tanks and ammo's end tend to come at a time. If this happens, you'd better be ready to restart the round. Just don't panic and try to do your best fighting off the towering inferno. Try to cover those who go for ammo. Melee is definately not a sidearm to be used here, as of Magnum being way better for the snipers and the Dual Pistols doing a great job for those who aren't snipers.
