Navigate Left 4 Dead's office building survival map. Learn enemy spawns, item locations, and alternate routes to help your team and reach the exit safely.

Alright, so you've got a situation where you need to help out some unlucky survivors. This part of the game usually throws you into an office building setting. Your main goal is to get through it and out the other side, keeping everyone alive, of course.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by crossing some rooftops. Keep going until you reach an office building. Head inside through either window and make your way to the main office area, which is pretty much straight ahead down the hall. Go past the front desk, and you'll be in the main office space. Keep an eye out for Molotov cocktails on the dresser to your right; you might also find some upgraded weapons or extra ammo on the desks.
  2. 2
    Next, you'll need to cross some wooden planks outside a window to get to another office building. Once inside, open up the first-aid station you see for some healing items. Also, check the steel racks in the room for ammo caches. As you start heading down the staircase, be really aware of your surroundings. Boomers or Hunters can sometimes come up from the other direction, so be ready to fight or evade.
  3. 3
    Things can get pretty hairy on the third floor. I've found that both a Tank and a Witch often spawn here. It's a tight space with all the cubicles, so if you run into a Tank, you might have to lure it back up the stairwell to give yourself more room to maneuver.
  4. 4
    The cubicles themselves offer decent cover for the Infected, so you'll have to carefully peek into each one to make sure the floor is clear. As always, it's a good idea to explore all the rooms before you make a break for the green exit sign.
  5. 5
    Continue on to the second floor. Honestly, it's pretty much the same layout as the floor you just came from. Just like the third floor, you'll want to sneak through the cubicles and rooms carefully before heading to the opposite end.
  6. 6
    The first floor is your last stop inside before you head back outside. Make sure to check all the rooms here and take down any Infected hiding in the side rooms. Once you're sure it's clear, exit the building through the front door onto the street. Now, if you didn't have to fight a Tank inside this office building, there's a pretty good chance you'll run into one out here on the street.
Tips
  • Alternate Path: Instead of heading straight out the front door, you can follow the green exit sign. This leads you into a stairwell that goes down to an alley. The alley wraps around the back of the office and eventually leads out to the street. It's a bit longer than just exiting the front, and honestly, I don't see much of a reason to take it unless you're trying to avoid something specific.
  • Item Locations: Always check dressers for Molotovs and desks for ammo or weapon upgrades. First-aid stations and steel racks are your best bet for healing and ammo on the move.
  • Enemy Awareness: Be extra cautious on stairwells and in tight spaces like cubicles, as special Infected can ambush you from unexpected angles. If you encounter a Tank in a confined area, try to lure it to a more open space.
