The Milltown

The Milltown is the first map of the Hard Rain campaign.

The Survivors realize that they do not have enough gas to make it to New Orleans. Virgil drops the Survivors off at a Burger Tank, tasking them to retrieve some gas from the nearby gas station. However, once the Survivors get to the gas station, it has been depleted of all fuel and the only remaining gas is two miles away. The Survivors must walk across yards and through homes, paying close attention to the landmarks while fighting the Infected. They walk past a playground, a garage sale and then eventually find a road that leads to a nearby safe room.

Campaign

All campaign walkthroughs are done on Normal difficulty in single player, and are meant to give tips on what to do and generally point out things that might otherwise be missed.

There are, of course, a few key things to always remember: Don't panic.
 * Stop, look, and listen.
 * Stopping to observe your surroundings might allow you to prepare for something nasty, like a Witch, Tank, or Special Infected in a really bad place for them to be.
 * Things can always get worse.
 * Are you and your teammates all hurting, your health down under 50%? Well, guess what? The Director is feeling particularly sadistic; you are now facing a Tank with tier 1 weapons.
 * Teamwork.
 * This cannot be stressed enough. Left 4 Dead is supposed to be a cooperative game. Communicate with your teammates, if you're playing with others, or if you're by yourself with the AI, point out things they might otherwise miss. In all cases, watch out for each other and take care of each other. You are not going to survive the zombie apocalypse by yourself.
 * Be ready for anything.

You forgot your weapons and you have to get gas, yet the gas station nearby has ran out. Will you get more fuel to fill the boat?
