Harrow County fell in a single night. You and up to twenty-three others hold out against the infected, wave after wave, in one of four places the outbreak reached first -- Harrow's main street, St. Agnes Medical, the Blackwater docks or the Cedar Pines campground. Every wave is bigger than the last; every fifth brings a Tank. Eleven kinds of special infected hunt the slow, the careless and the alone: Bloaters, Bombers, Leapers, Brutes, Spitters, Screamers, Riot infected, the Plague Captain, Hives, Ronin and Burrowers. Go down and a teammate can pick you up; die and you watch the others until the next wave brings you back. When the last survivor falls, the round ends -- and the next one starts somewhere else.
Dusk on a small-town main street: the sheriff's office, a diner, a church whose bell carries for miles, a gas station that should not be shot at, back yards and a rail yard full of boxcars.
A hospital the army tried to quarantine. Hold the checkpoint, fight up the four-storey parking garage, and listen for the ambulances.
Night and harbour fog. Container mazes, a cargo ship you can board, warehouses with catwalks and a lighthouse at the end of the breakwater.
A lakeside summer camp in the last of the sunset: cabins round their fire pits, a mess hall with a dinner bell, a fire lookout tower, a boathouse on the lake and a terraced ridge with an old mine running under it.
Green, slow-witted and never alone. Two in the body or one in the head.
Back up while you shoot -- they hit harder in a crowd.
Fresh, fast and frantic: faster than you can walk.
Turn and fight; you will not outrun one.
Swollen with bile. Pops when it dies and soaks everyone close, and the horde comes for the smell.
Kill it at range, never in the middle of your team.
Lobs acid that pools and burns hotter the longer you stand in it.
Move out of the green. It cannot spit and run at once.
Pounces from a long way off and pins you to the floor, clawing.
Shoot or shove it off a pinned friend; mash E if it is you.
Wears a vest of dynamite and runs for the biggest group it can find.
A clean headshot defuses it. Anything else, it goes off.
One arm grown into a club. Charges in a straight line and knocks people flying.
Sidestep the charge -- it stuns itself on walls.
Hangs back and shrieks, calling more of them and driving the rest into a frenzy.
Kill it first. Every scream is another pack.
Riot gear and a shield: bullets from the front barely scratch it.
Flank it, or shove it with a melee hit to open it up.
A walking nest. When it dies it bursts into a swarm of fast, biting mites.
Shotguns and explosions clear the swarm.
A miner who digs under the ground and comes up beneath your feet.
Watch for the moving earth and keep moving.
Guards with his blade and turns bullets aside, then dashes in for a cut.
Hit him from the side, or when he is open after a slash.
A drowned captain with a lantern of plague fire. Throws poison and raises the fallen.
Hunt him down before the dead get back up.
Every fifth wave. Throws chunks of road, slams the ground and punches people into next week.
Everybody shoots. Nobody stands next to it.
