The Plantation

The Plantation is the fourth and final chapter in Swamp Fever. In this finale, the Survivors must hold out through wave after wave of infected in a two story plantation house until Virgil arrives to take them up river. This finale is unique in that the Survivors will have to fight two Tanks simultaneously right before the rescue vehicle arrives.

The Heavy Machine Gun on the second floor has a limited firing arc, as it can only view out into the plantation fields, and cannot cover any part of the house itself. When the boat comes and the door explode open, jumping from the balcony to the ground below incapacitates the Survivor; therefore, it is advised to use the stairs or jump down onto the makeshift bridge. Although you can jump from the left side and land on the railing on the ground, which will cause no damage if done correctly.

Strategy
Hold down the radio area by the gate, as it makes it easier to tackle the horde when they come at you. Have one person hold the left side and another person hold the right side of the gates. You need to have two people hold the center aisle by the gate. You can also handle the Tanks with ease because it is difficult to become cornered. If the ammo pile spawns down the middle row then the ammo runs will be easier. However, be careful; it is possible for 2-4 Tanks to spawn in this finale, sometimes even at the same time.

Another choice is to hold out of the balcony, near the Heavy Machine Gun. Have one person man the gun, two others watch the sides, and another on the door. The gun may or may not do much damage, depending on where the horde comes from. If your team decides to use this strategy, watch out for Spitters; they can hide under your view and ruin your entire formation. Jockeys, Chargers, and Hunters shouldn't be much of a problem as long as you watch each others' backs. Smokers can pull you off the balcony at some points, so be careful. Your team will most likely have to deal with the Tank on the ground, as the house doesn't hold much room to move.

There is also a room in the front left of the first floor that allows only two ways in for the horde to come at you. This makes it easy to control concentrated with fire. Specials are pretty easy to take care of if the Survivors are working together to keep the doorways clear. Once the Tank music starts, go out the door into the garden to avoid and kill him. Make sure to ammo up during this time, head back into the room and repeat. As an added bonus pipe bombs, fire, and bile are usually close by in the hallway.

If you want to go solo, go up the stairs, turn right, head down the hallway and turn left where there is a huge gaping hole on the floor. Camping there could be useful especially if the ammo and guns are located at the railing of the stairs. The infected cant climb through the hole in the floor, so they can only get to you from the front. After dealing with the tanks, go back to the same place.

Immediately after the two Tanks are dead all the survivors should run to the gate, and throw a Bile Bomb once the "Skin on our Teeth music" plays; So long as the last Tank doesn't spawn on the other side of the gate, no zombies will be there, the CI will be distracted and the tank shouldn't reach you if you keep moving.

Balcony Method

 * At the estate, go up to the stairs and you should see a balcony with a machine-gun mounted in the center.
 * This is a strategic spot, since ammo is close and you have a mounted machine-gun near you.
 * One person should grab a shotgun, and the rest carry rifles.
 * Common Infected will come at you from all sides, so it is advised you bring the gas cans and put it where Infected pour in.
 * When a tank spawns, take some ammo and go down to the garden.
 * At the time Virgil comes, throw a bile or pipe bomb and run to the boat.
 * Make sure to avoid the water as it can slow you and your team down.


 * 1) Water can also slow down the Tank, giving you precious time to get away from him.
 * 2) Never try to kill the Tank near the wooden bridge because he can knock you far away to deep water, which will kill you instantly.
 * 3) If you think a Tank can't throw rocks at the bridge then you're wrong. The Tank is known to even throw chunks at rooftops or in the water.

Gateway Method

 * When you get to the garden, there is a big gate at the far end.
 * Have everyone grab melee weapons and a rifle of some sort.
 * Infected will come at three sides, so have each on the left and right, two pointing to the front.
 * Tanks are considerably easy to kill because of the mazes in the garden. Even when blocked by bushes, the Tank is still visible because of his large body.
 * Be careful when Virgil comes because he WILL blow down the gate.
 * Reaching him should be easy because your team is close to his boat.

Stairway Method

 * Inside the mansion, there is a stairway near the heavy machine-gun.
 * Very useful spot since most Infected will come funneling from downstairs.
 * If you run out of bullets, grab the ammo pile near you while one person takes your place.
 * Be careful if some Infected fall from the roof. So watch your back at all times.
 * Go out to the garden when the Tank spawns, since indoors are not as effective.


 * 1) However, skillful players can lure the Tank into a doorway. If he's stuck there, have fun killing him.
 * 2) Always separate in groups of two, so that the Tank can't pick anyone off.


 * If one of the Survivors have a pipe/bile bomb, use it when Virgil comes to distract the Infected.


 * 1) Use adrenaline if one isn't available.
