Learn the best strategy for the Crane level in Left 4 Dead's Dead Air campaign, including gasoline tank placement and horde defense.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the Crane level within the Dead Air campaign of Left 4 Dead, place one gasoline tank directly against the fences.
  2. 2
    When the horde (a large group of infected) begins to climb over the fences, shoot the gasoline tank to create an explosion.
  3. 3
    To avoid taking damage from the explosion or the horde, have all survivors crowd inside the crane.
  4. 4
    The two survivors at the front should crouch to minimize their profile.
Tips
  • This strategy is effective for coming out of the encounter with no damage, provided you are not caught by a Smoker (a special infected that grabs survivors from a distance) and your allies cooperate.
