Tips

Crafting Molotovs and Nail Bombs is crucial for crowd control.
Upgrade your weapons, especially the shotgun and rifle, at workbenches if possible before this encounter.
Listen carefully for the distinct sounds of different Infected types to anticipate their approach.
Use the environment to your advantage – narrow doorways can slow down the horde, and elevated positions can give you a temporary advantage.
Don't be afraid to use your pistol for weaker enemies if you're low on shotgun or rifle ammo.
Always be on the lookout for health kits and extra ammo scattered throughout the area.
If you have the Shiv, use it for stealth takedowns on isolated enemies to conserve ammo.
