Chaos in Kiddieland

Sloping Entrance Path

Step past the concrete posts and toward the cotton candy hut and judge whether your current firepower needs switching. Also, expect to find an explosive object or two (such as the Fuel Can) that you can throw and shoot to add to your offensive capabilities.

4A

Deal with any undead, making sure you check the sloping path for Chargers, and then hop on the stepped wall on either side of the slope.

This allows your team to spread out and your foes to have to climb to reach you. Shoot as many foes as possible from this relatively safe position before continuing.

4B

Fun for None of the Family

Enter Kiddieland, and stick together because Special Infected have a tendency to descend from the raised train tracks that circle this area.

Work your way diagonally left, through various Infected incursions (picture 1), as you attempt to reach the exit alleyway.

4C

You can take a direct route (as shown on the guide map), or explore a little further, picking up items and investigating the restrooms and the buildings on the right side of the courtyard. You can expect ambush attempts, so be sure each team member knows their role, so that you aren’t all foraging, for example.

Into the Alleyway

The graffiti-daubed board at the alleyway entrance indicates the direction of the Safe Room, so move to the corner of Kiddieland.

4D

Spend a few moments entering the kitchens of the cafe nearby, should you need the equipment inside.

Post a guard or two to sound the alarm if Infected appear en masse. Continue to watch the overhead rail system for Special Infected.

This expanse of tarmac is a reasonable area to throw a Belt Item if the incessant Infected are beginning to overwhelm.

Round the Back

4E

Speed down the alleyway as quickly as you can to reach the unloading area behind the kitchens. There is a white truck from which you can grab equipment, or board if you need more protection.

The Infected have a nasty habit of dropping down from the rooftops, so look up and lob in a Pipe Bomb or other effective method of culling them quickly.

Enter the door straight ahead and inspect the small warehouse on the left only after the coast is clear (or with friends guarding), as you don’t want to be swarmed, spat on, or charged while you’re grabbing items in there.

Up on the Roof

4F

Enter the stairwell, and don’t forget to open the First Aid Station here, and also grab items before ascending the steps.

There’s a ladder to the roof, which means you should make sure a rear guard checks behind you for encroaching foes. Once you’re on the roof, you have a relatively large area in which to strafe around and cut down foes.

Beware of additional attackers from a small storage room to your left as you step onto the roof.

Slip Sliding Away

4G

Flee Kiddieland once and for all by ascending to the top of the big slider ride and cutting down Infected that are trying to climb up to reach you.

Be sure you have a teammate eyeing the way you came, as a rooftop swarm of foes isn’t what you need at this narrow opening to the steps.

Run down the steps or the slide (you can also pop the heads off foes from the roof using a Sniper Rifle) to restrooms and a couple of picnic tables. The assault on the carousel is about to begin!
