Boathouse Finale

The Boathouse Finale is the fifth and final chapter of the second campaign, Death Toll. The Survivors must fight their way from the safe house to a boathouse on the riverside to call on the radio for a boat that is circling outside the city to come and pick them up. When they call for pickup, the Infected attack, as with every finale. The Survivors must stay alive until the boat comes to rescue them, fighting off multiple hordes and several Special Infected, including two or three Tanks. When the boat arrives, they must run on to the boat and board it, upon which the credits begin to roll.

Tactic 1
Have everyone grab an auto shotgun, second pistol, and pipe bomb (if possible). Head up to the shaded park picnic area and find the bathroom. Have everyone pile into here (leaving 1 Survivor to activate the radio, then run into the bathroom). Have the shotgunners in front with dual pistol wielders in back (to pick off distant Boss Infected). Have another person melee when appropriate.

When a Boomer shows up, expect to get slimed. It's no big deal, just a strain on ammo (which is why you should be alternating pistols and shotgun).

When a Smoker or Hunter attacks, no one should have to leave if they are meleeing properly.

When a Tank attacks, stay in the bathroom! With 4 shotgunners firing into him, only 1 Survivor will be incapacitated. Have 2 shotgunners hold off until the other person is up and healed accordingly.

When you hear the boat, wait a little bit for the infected to die down, then have 1 person throw a pipebomb. Have the group run in pairs with another person throwing a pipebomb as soon as they pass the house. Finally have another person throw a pipebomb when they make it onto the boat. Having a hunting rifle here would help if someone gets taken by a special infected but hopefully pipebombs and teamwork will reduce that chance. Congrats, you made it outta Death Toll by hiding in a bathroom.

Tactic 2
Have everyone arm up with their weapons (Auto shotgun & Dual Pistols). One Survivor handles the minigun whilst another covers him. The other two take the bottom floor until it cannot be protected further or is overrun; in which they cover the stairs.

The cabin outside can be run to for resources but it is Not Advised.

Wait For The Infected to calm when the boat comes, making sure The Special Infected are dead before running to The Boat.

Tactic 3
Have everyone stock up, then once the rescue has been called, run out to the dock where the boat arrives. The vast majority of the infected will come from the front, with a few running around to the sides climbing up, but these are easy to deal with. For the tanks, staying on the dock isn't advised due to a lack of room to run, and an abundance of water, rendering your molotovs useless. When the tank is present, have everyone move back onto the mainland to deal with it, moving back onto the dock as soon as it's been dispatched. Another obvious advantage to this tactic is the end, where you won't have to move anywhere to get to the boat, as it picks you up right where you've been holding out. There is also occasionally a Propane tank or Gas can on the dock that can be used. ^---what happens if a survivor gets knocked into the water?
