Articles Hierarchy

Truck Depot

This map is one of the hardest in Left 4 Dead because of the very small amount of room and the danger of falling off holdout spot. Smokers can be particularly devastating but eventually, they will dwindle away.

Positions



- 1 Player back (A)

- 1 Player front right sandbag (B)


- 1 Player front left sandbag (C)


- 1 Player front sandbag (D)


Notes


- Smokers pull players off the buses and are very disruptive.


- This strategy is completely reliant on the smokers getting stuck after 12 minutes.

- Smokers naturally get stuck in unreachable areas when you hold at the sandbags. This might sound like a lame tactic, but it is sort of a quirk of truck depot. Every high time achieved on truck depot had most of the smoker kills before 12 minutes and the smokers getting completely stuck sometime afterwards. If the smokers are still spawning after 12 minutes, you will struggle to reach 20 minute times.


- Crouching behind the sandbags is generally a good idea to avoid getting pounced by hunters. However, it might cause you to fail to notice a tank climbing up


- The back player must cover the entire back area. He can see both the left and right sides at the same time if he has a widescreen display.


- Late in the game, tanks might come during the normal ammo run times (14:30 and every two minutes thereafter).


- We tried to do a similar ammo run strategy that we used in crane, where we go for ammo in two passes. This seemed to help at times but other times it made the ammo runs slower than normal.


- Pistols could be used to conserve ammo and skip the ammo runs.


Ammo Run Strategy

The ammo is located on the below in front of the buses. Although this is a short distance to get ammo, the ammo runs are very difficult because of the openness to hunters from different sides and the vulnerability to get swarmed by common infected. Recent success has been found by using a two-pass ammo run.

- The two front players immediately go for ammo, while the two back players stay on top of the buses and provide cover at the front and right sides.

- Once the first two players have returned, the other two players quickly get ammo while the first two provide cover.


- The hunters should be targeted so that they jump away instead of pouncing on the players getting ammo.


- There will be some common infected and on rare occasion special infected that climb the buses to attack the cover players


- Because this ammo run may take longer, be careful about the tanks spawning. If a tank is coming, the ammo run should be finished quickly or aborted. All of the players need to be back on the buses before the tank reaches them.
