Walkthrough

1
Minigun Room Strategy: Instead of dropping gasoline tanks outside the windows, drop a single tank down the hole in the floor. Activate the door, have a teammate man the minigun, and then shoot the gas tank.
2
Post-Detonation: Once the fire subsides, follow up with another gas tank or a Molotov to maintain the barrier.
3
Minigun Advantage: This method allows you to use the minigun, accumulating 'red mist' kills. It also effectively blocks one attack avenue with less fire.
4
Alternative for Speed: If your team prioritizes speed and you have two gas tanks, drop one to the left and one to the right of the door, far enough away that shooting them won't ignite the area directly in front of the door.
5
Door Breach and Fire: Activate the door, shoot the gas tanks to create a fire barrier.
6
Safe Zone Creation: If skilled at placement, create a triangle of safe ground directly in front of the door. The team should position their backs to the rising door and fire at incoming infected, prioritizing special infected to avoid being grabbed.
7
Exiting the Room: As soon as the door is high enough to crawl under, slip through and quickly proceed to the ammo and gun room above. Toss a pipe bomb if infected get too close before you reach it. Finally, slam the doors shut.

Tips

The diffuse front of attack for infected with the floor-hole strategy can be managed by a full team firing from both windows and the minigun.
Be mindful of special infected when creating a safe zone in front of the door; a tongue drag through fire would be fatal.
