Lesser known access to subway station / truck escape ?

[Unkn0wn]

Hello. Just got out of a very frustrating game on Barlowe Square Escape. Made it to the bank but could not put the bank fire out as I could not find a way to the subway maintenance area (to acquire a fire extinguisher). As I was killing off zombie player after zombie player a human joined and he said he found a fire extinguisher in a "house" ? Anyways, put fire out, arm up, clear the bank, same problem. No matter where we went and how much back tracking we did there did not seam to be an obvious way to the street with the subway station / maintenance access / truck... 3 zombie players joined and killed us :(

So my question is: Is there a lesser known access point onto that road? Besides alley ways and streets?

Phone message arent filtered and at this moment can be triggered by player controlled zombies. Should be fixed in our bug-fix patch which will came out(probably) after DLC release.

There is only 2 access points to the subway. The main entrance tunnel, and just behind that where the roadblock is there is a door in the corner that goes to the maintanence, but it often needs a key.

Let me try again.
-Phone messages worked perfectly all game.
-I know where the 2 subway access points are, as well as where the truck (bank escape) comes.
-I have confirmed via YouTube walkthrough where they are
-I could see that street (and it still had npc zombies)
-I was not able to gain access to that street the entire game.

These are the ways to access that street that I am aware of...
Way one:
-When facing the front door of the bank the cross streets to the right were blocked off.
Way two:
-With the auto detail and mechanic on your left, the cross streets directly in front were also blocked off.
Way Three:
-The "left" path once you get into the alley behind the gun shop, also blocked off.

Now I do not believe I have ever gotten to that street any other way. Thus, the question: Is their a 4th lesser known way to get to that street? The one with the 2 subway access points, subway station and truck? I don't want to cry "Bug!" quite yet, but I am relatively familiar with the map and I spent well over an hour defending myself from zombie players while methodically looking for access and never found it.

Side notes:
-I used bolt cutters to open up a building behind the bank, found nothing of use. checked it many, many times. The door at the top of the stairs did not open.

There were scaffolds and a door "in front" of the bank. None of the windows allowed passage and the door did not respond.

-Also to note the only alleys behind the bank that were open were the 2 on either side of the bank, thus no help(and I have never seen so much blocked off back there) The side exit puts you right by the car shops, no help. Perhaps there is a 4th way out of the bank???

Wait! What is that door near the scaffolds? Does that lead to Creston / Franklin Street?

I can't imagine that I missed that having checked the scaffolds a good dozen times but maybe... Looks like the only possibility... again. both junctions to the cross street at the bank were blocked off along with the alley way behind the gun shop that leads to Barlowe street.

The barricade in "way three" will get removed once you start the bank finale.

Well that is extremely Counterintuitive and frustrating. Can anyone else confirm?

To have the hand of god magically pluck a barricade up into the sky is not immersive, fun or intuitive.

I've seen the barricade at "way three" disapear before while escaping. It was there when leaving the gun store and while escaping, after checking the two street entrances and finding them locked, tried the alley and it was open.

Usually the subway side is walled off when you have the bank escape. There are more than a few fire extinguishers on the map though if that was the initial problem. There is one in the theatre or sure, and I believe there was one in the gas station, the weapon shop behind it, or even the auto shop to the right of it. There might be one in one of the two apartments. If that was the main problem was having no fire extinguisher, there are more spots to find them.
