As Said higher up in the original posted guide the window then up and over the plane is the best bet but if you just have to go through and hit the alarm depends on how capable your team is weather or not to just run it but i find sitting still rarely a good decision in any scenario on expert

For the Dead Center finale at the “Atrium” I had one friend help me. I know makes ti 13 cans instead of 8 but 5 more cans for another good pair of hands don’t bother me. Since the tank timer is activated when you pickup the first can don’t even consider grabbing the first one as you get off the elevator. The method that we found most effective was, going all the way to the top each player grabbing one of the two cans up their then dividing the cans on the second floor ,throwing them all on the same path to juggle them quickly to the car as you grab the last ones down their. This did take us a few tries to do successfully but our goal wasn’t just to beat it,our goal was to be faster then that first tank spawn as we we’re pulling out we could see the tank a bit away but we proved succesfull without having to deal with the expert tank, but a couple more tips to this make sure your gas cans are fairly well grouped so if the situation arises where you cant beat the tank spawn toss a molly on him and if you decide to hit him with a bile once he leaves the molly torched spot commons will do some extra damage and slow him up a bit, as to shot or pills depends on how you play my friend took the shot because he takes less damage and prefers to just outrun the tank as to where I prefer pills because in some dire situations I’ll run to spots on the third floor and jump to the second floor down to ground level [shoot the glass before jumping for less damage hit next floor pop pills jump again] go through on easy to learn the spots and how to do it fast with a tank on your A$$ because you might just need to

I find that the best way to finish the level with the plane is to just run straight to the saferoom after opening the plane door. This way you only kill the few infected who are coming at you from the road. Much better than to stand and try to kill all of them who are coming at you from every angle. Worked perfectly on expert and got the achievement this way for not sustaining any damage.

In my opinion, though, I find the best way to survive the concert in Dark Carnival is to have the most expierenced player (usually me, but not by much, Sydney’s pretty badass) turn on all the stuff while the other person goes onto the top of one of the platform things in the stands with a melee (ofcourse) and the grenade launcher. The tank can’t usually get up there and with the grenade launcher, you can shoot him down before he can even get a chance! One person should be using the grenade launcher and the other should be using a melee to shoot away the common infected. You should be safe from most harm up there. Then, when the helicopter arrives, jump down and go straight for it and don’t look back.

The best way to beat the Atrium in Dead Center is to have one person at the car and another person getting all the gas and throwing it to the car. That’s what my bestie and I do and we KICK ASS!!! (:

Ain’t that the truth!? Lol my bestie and I LOVE L4D and we KICK ASS!! But she’s the only one i play L4D(2) with because she and I started playing together and are on the same level and we both get frustrated with my other friends because we have to teach them to play so we just play alone. Her. Me. Two bots. And a WHOLE SHITTON OF KICK ASS!!

Wrong, the best way to pull off every campaign on expert is with a friend and 2 bots

The dark carnival finale is easy on expert realism if you know how to play. Simply gather everything on the stage. For example, grab a boomer bile and then grab a pipe bomb while moving backwards and the boomer bomb will hit the ground. Then simply keep picking up the items interchangeably while moving backwards to the desired location until all items are gathered inluding defibs, pills, shots, molotovs, pipebombs. Then simply post up on both sides of the stage and fight it out. If you go down before any tanks come you shouldn’t be playing on expert. Also, the best strategy for any level thats not a finale is to always run. Never stop!! Especially to turn off alarms like at the carousel and the roller coaster. Use boomer biles to clear running space and just keep going do not go out of your way to look for stuff, if you see stuff on the way grab it and continue running. If you play enough you will develop an eye for good places to stop and heal if necessary but if not black and white just take pills or shots so you can save health packs for the beginning of the next stage so you can heal and grab a new health pack. Also, if playing with bots learn to use them to your advantage like let them heal you and keep them alive long enough to be a good distraction like at areas like the roller coaster on the dark carnival. Stopping is the stupidiest thing you can do just simply keep running past the the alarms with a melee weapon and you can get to the safe house easier and faster. I also have multiple strategies for both single player and coop but I would rather other people figure out there own strategies so I can read them and sometimes be amused at some people’s stupidity.

its easy doing it with the hatch open, just make sure you have a molotov not bile or a pipe bomb (molotov kills much more.) and camp in between the seats of the plane with a fast swinging melee weapon, preferably a katana or a machete.

Hi ppl, I can’t get past the DC, waay to complicated.. :/ director never helps xD

well there’s an issue with the plane @ Swamp Fever, that exploit seems to have been fixed (Steam update) so I guess it’s no longer possible to bypass the plane without having to open the emergency hatch :<

Anyone has tips on how to do it?

Playing with the bots is pathetic! Another thing that annoys me is that we cannot save our games! It took me almost a week of trying to get through DC (gates) and then the Xbox was turned off by someone in the house so now it is NOT counting that I’ve already completed it.

I have the PC version of the game and I found if I leave my steam open… it will keep my stats alive… so 2/5… game crashes… I go back and it still says 2/5.

—-> If L4D3 comes out I hope they at least allow saving for EXPERT level.

I think tips for DC – barns/gate area are really needed. So many people out there are having trouble with it. My question is…
Are there any sweet spots near the scaffolding?
