The Junkyard

The Junkyard is a map featured in The Last Stand. This map served as the first chapter of The Last Stand Left 4 Dead 2 campaign. The map take its name from a junkyard which must be passed by the survivors to make progress.

The Survivors start off on the Riverside Park in unnamed area situated somewhere in USA.

The Survivors must fight through several different areas: the stretch of old countryside road, burned village which the people may abandoned hastily when The Infected hits the place (with many trucks filled with many of villagers belongings scattered), the junkyard, and finally they must go through the onward route involving a short, angled path over a hilltop, following the small river, and finally reaching the Cliff Side, a small area located in a cliff separated with a rope bridge, where the small wood cabin which served as the map's Safehouse stood.

When survivors reach the village junkyard, survivors find their path blocked, unless they dropped a container and make the makeshift way to the hilltop. However, to do it, they must operated a gigantic electromagnetic crane which require fuel pump and 4 generators to make it work. When they turned on the fuel pump, a crescendo event will started and many infected will swarming into the junkyard. Halfway, the crane electric power will went down. The survivors must fight their way to restarting 4 generators scattered over the junkyard to return the power to the crane. If the survivors succeeded, the crane will move to take a container and a survivor needed to push a button to release the container and make their way to the hilltop.

Trivia

 * As many custom campaigns made by the community, "Riverside" names used here despite the map not taken place in the Riverside. It seems the developers simply reusing Riverside assets which may found at Death Toll campaign.
 * Despite that, numerous streams passed the village. The Cliff side of the village also located near the estuary. These facts making the naming of "Riverside" somewhat reasonable.


 * On this map, if you see a ruined waterwheel house in in the village, enter the house, go to the upstairs, and jump from here. Here you can access the back house. Here, hit a locked room with any melee weapon multiple times until the door breaks and revealing a body of a survivor that starved to death still sitting in front of computer. You can see the names of the map developers written over the walls. Clicking the computer will result on any melee weapon you have switched into golden crowbar. Doing this will make you get HOUSEHOLD NAMES achievement. You can see the video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3BrwvCBD7M to check how to do it.


 * It is possible in some abandoned trucks, you might find shovel.
 * The safehouse door on this map feature an unique model which unseen before in other maps.
