side, the tunnel provides a relatively safe way to move through the area.

Alright, so you're at a fork in the road. Take the right path, and you'll push through some train cars. Clear out any Infected you find in there, and keep moving through to the other side. Keep an eye out, there might be some useful weapons or ammo on a table in this area.

The path to the right after the train cars is mostly empty, but don't let your guard down – you'll still run into some Infected, and maybe even a pipe bomb or molotov cocktail if you're unlucky.

Now, at some point in this tunnel section, you're going to run into a Tank. Seriously, it happens almost every time I play this level. You'll hear some rumbling and the ground will shake right before he shows up. While he usually appears around here, I've seen him pop up earlier in the tunnel or even back near the Holly Street station, so be ready anywhere.

This Tank is basically a super-powered Hulk. He's huge, surprisingly fast, and can knock you down with a single hit. He can also chuck chunks of rubble that will almost certainly kill you instantly. Tanks tend to focus on one person, so if it's not you, either hide like you mean it or unload your heaviest firepower. Forget pipe bombs and molotovs; he moves too much for those to be effective.

Tip: Rescuing Survivors

You know all those empty side rooms you see scattered around? They're not useless! If one of your teammates gets taken down, they'll come back as a different survivor, but they'll be locked in one of those random rooms. Your job is to find them, break them out, and get them back in the fight. Weirdly enough, this new person looks exactly like the survivor you lost.
