The Truck Depot Finale is the second and last level in Crash Course.
[edit] Strategy
- Here you can easily get "The Littlest Genocide" achievement. When the generator shuts off and the second Tank has died, endless hordes of Infected can attack, but Special Infected can still spawn and attack.
- A bit after leaving the safe room, there is a trick that you can use to skip a quarter of the section which requires jumping on the alarmed car stuck next to the fence by the Humvee in order to leap get over the barbed wire fence to the top of the truck on the other side. This trick will take the gamer straight to the truck yard area to the Truck Depot. But, Survivors may take caution this trick will alert the horde but if you do it right you can jump on a small gap in between the windshield of the van and the automobile.
- A useful setup spot for the finale is with the minigun in the garage. One of the players can get on the minigun and take one spot in the garage spot as the other gamer takes care of the rest. Close combat is a must here as the Common Infected have a large area to get up to your position and can also stream down from the windows. The small window behind the minigun is a common spawning place for Special Infected, especially Boomers and Smokers.
- Another strategy is to be in the rescue closet underneath the minigun, and have two people each cover the ends of the room. When the tank comes, get back on the minigun, and after the tank dies, holdout on either the bus, or the platform via stair access. (Mostly because you want to be close to restart the generator) Repeat minigun for the last tank.
[edit] Trivia
- The armored van is an obvious nod to the armored bus from the famous George A. Romero film remake Dawn of the Dead.
- Sometimes one of the two Tanks in the Finale will not spawn. The music will play, but the Tank will not arrive; the music will eventually turn off as if he was killed, followed by the next Horde.
- In the graffiti underneath the large letter there are numerous quotes referring to popular internet memes. Some of the references include "Cool Story Bro!", QQ (depicting mock sadness, as in crying eyes), "Roses are red, Violets are Blue, You Suck.", and "PS I'M FAT!".
- If the player stands under the rescue vehicle as it is lowered all the way down, they will be incapacitated, and die a few seconds later.
- Sometimes, the generator does not turn off during the event. The second Tank dies, then the Skin on Our Teeth track plays and the back door of the rescue vehicle opens, but the Generator stays on. It's unusual because turning off of the Generator is the panic key of this Finale.
- When you come to the truck yard over the crashed truck you can see that the tunnel before the yard is closed at all directions. When the Survivors drive away with the bus they drive in this tunnel - now it is arguable in which direction they will drive to escape.
- In the middle of the truck yard, there is a mutilated torso next to a pile of ammo. The legs to the torso are found farther on, in a container that has sleeping bags and, usually, weapons. This is from the graffiti writing stating that a survivor was hiding in an empty containor waiting for their friend to join them, but apparently a tank got to them.
