There are only two entrances to watch in the barn and a readily available supply of ammo, making this one of the easier maps in Left 4 Dead. Nevertheless, the players have to be diligent in killing the incoming special infected and they must quickly deal with tanks in the little space that they have inside the barn.

- 1 player covering back (A)

- 2 players covering hole (C \& D)

- 1 player in the middle (B)

A lot of the special infected try to climb up the back. They are not too difficult to handle with shotguns since they all use the same ladder to climb up. A player standing guard at the back will be able to kill all of the special infected as they climb.

The two front players are standing over the hole. In this case, there is a spot outside where most of the common infected are climbing up. The players should clear this spot regularly of the common infected. Watch out for hunters because they can pounce from long distances and make rather tricky attacks as they approach the hole.

The support player is helping the back most of the time, but also must help out the front players if needed.

Once the tank is approaching, the players need to quickly determine whether it is coming from the front or the back. The back player will feel a lot of rumbling if the tank is in the back, so he should give warning so that a front player can come help shoot the tank. The front players will know ahead of time whether or not the tanks will come from the front. Sometimes, tanks will take a long time to reach the back side, which can be disruptive.

- Three players with shotguns are sufficient to kill a single tank. When the tank is climbing the back, one of the front players should help kill the tank while the other remains to guard the hole.

- If a hunter pounces on a player at the hole, the middle player should quickly rescue him.

- Once all players have used their medkits, they can go for a medkit run into the house and return back to the barn.
