The Truck Depot Finale

The Truck Depot Finale is the second and last level in Crash Course.

This finale sees the Survivors reach a garage, where a bus is waiting at the top of a vehicle elevator, just out of reach. In what looks to be homage to the Dawn of the Dead remake, the bus is armor-plated and is designed to take the Survivors through to safety and away from the Infected. Unfortunately, players must first get the bus down, and that requires use of a generator located in the parking lot outside.

The generator, unlike usual finales and Crescendo Event, takes time to activate, with players having to wait while the power charges up. Also unlike other finales, the generator sometimes fails, requiring a second activation. Once it's powered, the bus lowers and the horde arrives. This finale is particularly difficult for the Survivors because the Infected can attack from virtually every direction. After several long minutes of sustained horde attack, all of the power goes out.

Players are now stuck in the dark, surrounded by the Infected, and need to fight their way back to the generator in order to switch it on again, stuck in the open and having to slowly wait for the power to return. Of course, a Tank will make his appearance as with every finale. Once the bus is lowered, the Survivors enter in the back, and they escape.

Strategy

 * A bit after leaving the safe room, there is a trick that you can use to skip a quarter of the section which requires jumping on the alarmed car stuck next to the fence by the Humvee in order to leap get over the barbed wire fence to the top of the truck on the other side. This trick will take the player straight to the truck yard area to the Truck Depot. But, Survivors may take caution this trick will alert the horde but if you do it right you can jump on a small gap in between the windshield of the van and the automobile.
 * A useful setup spot for the finale is with the minigun in the garage. One of the players can get on the minigun and take one spot in the garage spot as the other gamer takes care of the rest. Close combat is a must here as the Common Infected have a large area to get up to your position and can also stream down from the windows. The small window behind the minigun is a common spawning place for Special Infected, especially Boomers and Smokers.
 * Another strategy is to be in the rescue closet underneath the minigun, and have two people each cover the ends of the room. When the tank comes, get back on the minigun, and after the tank dies, holdout on either the bus, or the platform via stair access. (Mostly because you want to be close to restart the generator) Repeat minigun for the last tank.
