Dead Before Dawn/The Mall

"Hey, are you the guys I've been talking to over the radio?"

- CJ

The Mall is the third chapter of the Custom Campaign Dead Before Dawn.

Campaign
At the beginning, the AI Survivors will grab:
 * Bill will grab an Assault Rifle.
 * Francis will grab a Auto Shotgun.
 * Louis will grab an Assault Rifle.
 * Zoey will grab an Assault Rifle, later she might switch for a Hunting Rifle.

This is not always absolute; the AI Survivors may occasionally attempt to balance out the ratio of firearms depending on what the human players pick up first.

After the Survivors left the saferoom, they see the sun has risen and it's bright day. However, the Infected are still present, so they turn right and walk up a hill, where they spot their target, the Crossroads Mall. The follow the fence to the right and can either go through a hole and follow a small path created by various cars to the back-entrance and objects or stay on the grass and walk through bushed to come to the same place.

Here, they need to use the intercom-system to contact CJ. However, he refuses to let them in because a lot of Infected followed the group and is now going to attack. Also, something might break out of the locked truck. It can be anything from a lone common to a Tank. After a hard fight, the door opens and you can go inside. As soon as everyone is inside, the door closes and stays locked. Head for the small security room and take a new weapon or refill your ammo, then use the intercom-system once again. CJ recognizes the Survivors and asks them to do a small job for him: They should go on the roof and fix the AC-Unit because two of his workers - Jason and Billy - didn't do it. Walking through a warehouse, they reach the roof just to find out, that Jason and Billy hid the cranks to operate the crane. The Survivors now walk through several small rooms to collect between one to four cranks and getting the AC-Unit on the roof - as more cranks are found, as more Survivors can pull up the AC-Unit and as faster you can get into the mall. Players shouldn't forget to check every room, there could be pills, first-aid or even Tier-2 weapons lying around. During the job, there might be a horde attacking.

After successfully placing the AC on the roof and starting it, CJ opens another door and the Survivors are able to go further into the mall. Now they walk through some warehouse-areas and half-way-through, it is possible to find another radio for more news about the infection currently causing havoc on other parts of the country. Soon, they reach the next saferoom - just to realize, they have more stuff toclean up.
