Seattle Day 2 - The Shortcut Tips and Strategy

Building filled with Infected

10. Building with a lof of Infected.jpg
This building will have Runners, Clickers, and a Shambler inside it. If you are thinking about fighting, it might be best to avoid the edge, since the infected will come towards you, leaving you with no room to run.

It is recommended to sneak past them quietly. You can move through the edge of the building to avoid getting caught by the runners.

Seraphite Ambush

16. Seraphites Ambush.jpg
After climbing up the first laddder, Lev will be attacked by the Seraphites. Defend yourself from them, and use your Semi-Auto Rifle, since this weapon is very powerful.

Roof Area

18. Roof Area.jpg
Continue moving to the highest point. The final area will be guarded by more Seraphites, and the only difference is that they do not know where you are coming from.

Take advantage of this, then move quietly using the surroundings and containers.
