Walkthrough

1
Open the door and immediately sprint up the stairs.
2
Enter the room with only one entrance and an attached closet.
3
If infected pursue you before reaching the room, toss a pipe bomb and dive in while they are distracted.
4
Once inside the room, defend the single entrance against any infected attempting to enter.
5
If playing versus mode, station one survivor in the closet to prevent special infected from spawning behind you.

Tips

A pipe bomb can create a crucial diversion, allowing you to reach safety.
Defending a room with a single entrance limits the directions from which infected can attack.
In versus mode, the closet is a strategic position to watch for flanking special infected.
