Sharing is caring!
  • If you have more than two guns and someone just spawns in the game, please share a gun!
  • Drop all your unused ammo for weapons you don't have so people that do have the guns can use the ammo.
  • Tell people when you see ammo you can't use so they can come pick it up.
  • If you have a lot of ammo, share a pack!
Keys
The key are only used for opening the guard stations and armory otherwise you don't need to carry them around.

The keys spawn in a few places depending on what objectives spawns.

Receptionist Room (image[i.imgur.com])
Office in front of the bathrooms (image[i.imgur.com])
Office past the bathrooms (image[i.imgur.com])
Dark room near Gaurd Station 2 (image[i.imgur.com])
Guard Station 1 (image[i.imgur.com])

Pro Tip: Take one key and put it in front of the door going to the basement. (image[i.imgur.com]) This will make it easy to grab the key to unlock the armory and you won't have to carry it around. Just use the existing key to open the other guard stations and then you can ditch it.
Bolt Cutters
  • Dock (image[i.imgur.com])
  • Courtyard (image[i.imgur.com])
  • Cell Block A Table (image[i.imgur.com])
  • Basement Garage (image[i.imgur.com])
  • Middle of the roof (image[i.imgur.com])

The bolt cutters are use for depend on what objectives spawn
  • Opening roof access
  • Opening medical room
  • Opening garage
Other than that you don't really need to carry them around.
General Objectives Pathing
1. Find the key to open the one of the first two guard stations so you can have access to the cell blocks
2. Open the other guard stations and try to turn off alarm
3. (Sometimes) Close dock garage door so you can turn off alarm
4. Office opens up after alarm gets shut off (go into office) but if they don't then head to the roof
5. If on the roof before going to office then head to the elevator to jump down into office
6. If you made it past the office then try going downstairs to the basement and check the garage
7. If you made it to the basement and never been to the roof then head to the roof

You'll need the bolt cutters for 6 or 7

This is more or less what you'll do
I want to escape?
There are one of two escape routes that spawn.

Basement Garage: In the garage you will need to push the pad button near the garage gate. This will start the horde rushing you. After about 30 sec the generator will stop and the gate won't open until you start it again. The generator is where all the zombie come flooding from. Once you push the button on the generator you'll need to push that pad button in the room near to the garage gate again. After about 2-3 mins the gate will open enough to crouch under and escape into the vehicle.

Roof Helicopter: On the roof you'll need to find the flight room and push the pad button but don't go anywhere because there is another button you have to push 15 sec later right next to it. Once you do this the horde will start coming and you'll need to make your way across the roof to the helicopter. If you take a left out the door of the flight room and run across the roof. you'll see the helicopter pad. It only takes like 20 sec for the helicopter to land after calling the horde but take it slow because the zombies come out right next to the helicopter pad.

Thanks for the guide.

Basically was stuck, until i realized, that when you jump down the elevator shaft, you can drop down into the elevator for a free gun and ammo BUT the right way is to not go into the elevator, but to turn around into some offices. (The body might have a yellow keycard for the armory.)

If its the roof helicopter ( on any map ) make sure there's not a sneaky one hiding by the rooftop and you have all hands accounted for. I've noticed that I'll get locked out of the finale because we were doing objectives and missed that one person.

really nice tips but i have tips too too, always keep a key, so you don´t need to open the barricated door to the start (this may lead to zombies/player zombies coming from the start) always stay with the team, once i was playing with my friend, we were going to the armory and we got ambushed by zombie players coming from the barricated door, it sucked ;(
