The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is a map featured exclusively in Survival Mode. It is the only map in The Last Stand campaign. The layout of the map is centered around a small group of connected buildings, with the largest being a two-story lighthouse. The buildings consist of a small storage shed, behind which is the first of the two rooms of the main lighthouse building. A stairwell in the larger room allows the players to reach the top level of the lighthouse, which can also be accessed through a system of ladders around the buildings. The machine used to start the map is located in a seperate garage-type room, and is a large fuel pump.

Tactics

 * Since the map is placed in a forest area, use the various fuel and propane tanks given to you to create a perimeter around the buildings. You won't last long anyway, but it should help keep a large amount of the horde off of your backs.
 * The stairwell, while being a cramped location, can give the advantage of a sort of choke point, and the high ground defense tactic. It is also less maneuverable for Special Infected.
 * It is ill-advised to stay within the rooms during a Tank attack, as it allows them to kill your team with ease. Alternatively, staying bunched up may work to your advantage, as you may be able to kill the tank without it doing much damage.
 * Be careful about how close you are to the edge at the top of the lighthouse when there is a tank or smoker; survivors can easily be knocked off.
 * Smokers are especially dangerous to the Survivors if they plan on using the roof as a defensible position. Because the Survivors are exposed, the Smokers can drag them out of reach of the other Survivors, and they can be killed quite quickly.
 * Along with gas cans scattered around the house,there are also propane tanks that you can use to blow up a horde.

Trivia

 * If you look off the cliffs that overlook the ocean, you'll notice a boat similar to the one in Death Toll. The terrain also seems similar to the one of Riverside, possibly hinting that the lighthouse is someplace near the town—which would be logical, in light of the docks.
