Burger Tank

"Destroy your hunger."

- Restaurant Motto "I could go for a BBQ bacon burger, and a large order of fries, and an orange soda with no ice, and a piece of hot apple pie."

- Coach

The Burger Tank is a fast food chain found throughout the Left 4 Dead series. In campaigns featuring a Burger Tank outlet, the Survivors usually pass through the restaurant, where supplies such as ammo and first aid kits can be found. In Hard Rain however, the restaurant serves as a main objective and focus of the Finale.

History
Through observation, it can be assumed that the fast food chain has been around for at least a few decades, as the business has been successful, and expanded and opened restaurants in other states. The restaurant is somewhat famous and is known to customers for its delicious food, beverages, and desserts, as commented on by Coach. The restaurants are recognized by their brightly lit, rotating Burger Tank signs, as well as billboard advertisements found on highways, and on top of buildings.

Burger Tank's main menu serves the following:

Current Status
When the infection appeared in the U.S. and evacuations were called by CEDA and the military, most of the restaurants were closed until further notice. Survivors and refugees throughout the cities passed by Burger Tanks looking for food, using bathrooms, and gathering supplies to survive the apocalypse. First aid kits, ammo, weapons, and grenades can sometimes be found in some restaurants. Now the restaurants are empty, customers dead or evacuated, and only the wandering infected are inside the restaurants.

Left 4 Dead:
The Survivors pass by a Burger Tank in the city of Fairfield. They leave a safe room of a nearby pawn shop and enter the restaurant from the back of the building leading to an alley. They collect supplies and head out the front exit of the building towards Mercy Hospital.

The other Burger Tank is optional if the Survivors want to enter it to look for supplies or rescue a Survivor. This one is found inside Metro International Airport in the city of Newburg. It is located just past the security checkpoint before the Duty Free store and next to the Atlas Statue.

Left 4 Dead 2:
There may be a Burger Tank at Whispering Oaks Amusement Park as Coach makes remarks/comments that suggest that there is a branch within the area. The Survivors, however, never got the chance to see or go through it.

The second Burger Tank plays a more important role for the Survivors in the town of Ducatel. It serves as the drop-off point where the Survivors start at the beginning of the campaign Hard Rain, and it plays a major role for the finale. This Burger Tank is well stocked with weapons, ammo, grenades, and first aid kits, which the Survivors must save for the return trip in the finale. The Survivors go through the restaurant towards the sugar mill in The Milltown and return to it in the Town Escape where they must activate the sign to attract the attention of Virgil to come and pick them up.
