Left 4 Dead Death Toll walkthrough covering The Turnpike and The Drains, including finding fuel cans and using the warehouse shortcut.
Walkthrough
- 1Start at a large traffic collision; find ammo, first-aid kits, and weapons in a car trunk.
- 2Head down the highway, scanning the woods on either side for wandering Infected.
- 3The bridge is down; head down the slope on either side of the road and go straight ahead across the ravine.
- 4Climb one of the two ladders to reach the other side.
- 5Navigate past parked cars and enter the tunnel.
- 6Find an opening on the left to get a fuel can and a propane tank in an alcove opposite.
- 7Use fuel and propane to fight Infected in the tunnel; search small rooms and alcoves for more fuel cans.
- 8Watch for Smokers in the gaping hole in the ceiling.
- 9At the end of the tunnel, go through the door to the left and follow the winding passage.
- 10At two doors, take the one directly in front to enter a side room with a propane tank.
- 11Use the propane tank in the next room, which usually has many Infected.
- 12Find a table with ammo on the lower section of this room.
- 13This large area may contain molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, pain pills, and fuel cans/propane tanks.
- 14Head towards the opposite side of the room and exit into the wilderness.
- 15Walk through the opening in the fence towards the building on the side to find a safe house.
- 16Enter the safe house.
- 17From the safe house, head up the stairs and towards the exit.
- 18Bait Infected by opening and closing the door, then shoot them from the safe house.
- 19Once the room is clear, exit the safe house and go through the sewer water.
- 20Choose either of the two drain pipes; the central pipe leads to the lower level, the right pipe to the top floor.
- 21Head to the bottom floor of the shaft to find an ammo cache and upgraded weapons.
- 22Prepare for the Horde, which appears shortly after.
- 23Move through the sewage into a pipe leading to the floodgate room.
- 24You may encounter a Witch or a Tank here.
- 25Lower the floodgate by climbing the ladder to the controls, creating a bridge.
- 26Prepare for the Horde, which will appear.
- 27A green table across from the controls may hold ammo or two pipe bombs.
- 28Cross the bridge, open the door, and find another green table and a first-aid station.
- 29Go up the stairs and into the drain pipe.
- 30Take either option at the fork, leading to a small square room with support beams.
- 31You may encounter a Tank or a Witch here if you didn't in the floodgate room.
- 32If you encounter a Tank, try to quickly climb the ladder on the right.
- 33A green table in the back of the room may contain goods.
- 34After climbing the ladder, you will be in a small warehouse.
- 35The three main Special Infected are usually in this room, with the Smoker on the upper level.
- 36Avoid getting covered in Boomer bile.
- 37If the Horde shows up, cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) all exits to eliminate them before they enter.
Tips
- Scan the wooded areas on the sides of the highway to avoid surprise Infected.
- Use fuel cans and propane tanks to your advantage in the tunnel.
- Search small rooms and alcoves in the tunnel for valuable tools like fuel cans.
- Watch the ceiling opening for puffs of green smoke indicating a Smoker.
- Use all available tools in the large room before leaving, in case the Horde appears.
- Bait Infected by quickly opening and closing the safe house door before shooting them.
- The central drain pipe leads to the lower level of the shaft, while the pipe on the right leads to the top floor.
- Refill on ammo and take an upgraded weapon before fighting the Horde in the shaft.
- Use pipe bombs found on the green table in the floodgate room to clear the Horde.
- If you encounter a Tank in the room with support beams, try to quickly climb the ladder on the right.
- Gnarly Shortcut: While in the room with the support beams, ignore the ladder and go through the opening into the second half of the room. Climb up the overturned stairs on the side of the giant hole in the ceiling to bypass the warehouse.
Reward: Safe house access.
