Left 4 Dead 2 eGuide Walkthrough Hard Rain

Streets of Rage

Everything Must Go

When you’re ready to explore the third street, move out from between the two wooden buildings, and check the area for enemies, moving in a clockwise direction around the grassy field, past the road block and the house on stilts that you can’t enter.

2A

The tree with the “garage sale” sign on it hints at the direction you must travel; head down the road, optionally pausing at the white ranch house. You can explore inside the ranch house and claim items you want. Note significant caches for the return journey.

Ambulance Chasers

It’s beginning to drizzle a little. You can’t enter two of the trailers on the far side of the street (check the third one on the right near the ambulance), so head past the rusting metal trailer and begin to cleanse the area around the parked ambulance in the middle of the road.

2B

Be sure you clear out the foes (including a possible lurking Special Infected) between the stilts of one of the buildings with another “garage sale” sign on the ground in front of it. From this point, the ambulance, half-burned house with a roof you can climb up to via a ladder (picture 2), and the house on stilts can all be searched. Remember to leave items for your return, and watch out for interior ambushes by Special Infected.

Savagery at the Garage Sale

Continue moving past the refuse container and dirt pile to the truck blocking the end of the street, which forces you toward the garage sale. It has a surprising display of handy weaponry and other items.

Grab anything you really need, save the rest for the return journey, and then check the metal trailer on the other side of the street for any foes sneaking up behind you. From here you can return to the sale. Use the tree house to gain some height (and sniping) advantages (check for a Sniper Rifle up here) if more than a few Infected are roaming about.

2C

And you can enter the garage sale house, or plug at foes inside from an open window. Head to Location 2D via the alley between house and garage, through the house itself, or via the narrow fence alley.

Fury on Fourth Street

Step out into the fourth street away from the Burger Tank (1A), which is important to remember when retracing your steps. Make sure you check the back of the pickup truck for a possible item and then lay waste to any grotesques roaming the thoroughfare. Even a cursory glance reveals the road is blocked to the left, and the two nearby buildings are sealed.

2D

Instead, move along the street until you can see a high (and impenetrable) fence running along the right side of the road. You can continue toward Location 2E at this point, or inspect the larger house with the shed in the back garden.

Explore the inside of the house, taking care to prepare for a Special Infected takedown possibility, and then you can exit onto a side deck, near a ladder which can take you to the roof (picture 2). Naturally, the Infected can reach this high point, too, but unlike you, they can climb walls as well.

Gimme Some Sugar, Baby

Avoid a calamitous end to your area exploration by avoiding the alarmed cars as you trek down Fourth Street, using the tarmac or rooftops, and pausing at the next house (the yellow one with the refuse container filled with dirt to the right of it) to explore inside it.

2E

The final house before the Safe Room, with the covered garage containing a speedboat (2F), isn’t accessible. Spend no longer than you have to here. Scamper up the stairs of the yellow, corrugated-metal building by the road barricades and slam the Safe Room door behind you. The vantage point allows you to cover your teammates as they do the same.
