Seattle Day 2 - Ground Zero Tips and Strategy

After Turning on the Lights

10. After turning on the lights.jpg
When the generator is finally running, you will be able to turn on the power. The doors will automatically open, and several Clickers will roam the area.

You can use the Flamethrower or Pipe Bombs to deal a lot of damage to the infected here. Watch out the for Stalkers also sticking to the wall.

The Rat King

16. Defeat the Rat King.jpg
There is a new type of infected that you're going to encounter here for the first time. This creature is called the Rat King, and it is a lot bigger than a Bloater.

Use a Pipe Bomb to stop him from charging, then light him up with the Flamethrower. Always keep your distance when fighting him, because the moment he gets a hold of you, it will be game over.

Use other high damage dealing guns such as the Shotgun, Double Barrel Shotgun, and Hunting Pistol just keep moving and avoid a grab at all costs.
