Just had an awesome end to a 2 player Expert run with SonnyBoy and myself:
We get to the end and the Director spawns a Witch right inside the minigun room. Everyone's low on health, so SonnyBoy decides to take her out before we set up for the final holdoff. He grabs one of the gas cans and sneaks up to the Witch.. as.. slow.. as.. possible. It was hilarious. He's trying to get into position and she turns, looks into his soul and starts growling at him. Eventually he drops the can into position and we open up on it and her. However, he underestimates the spread of the fire and takes out himself and Zoey as a result. Eventually, Louis and myself finish off the now ablaze Witch. :lol
I wait for the crew to respawn and we setup for the fight with only one remaining gas can, no molotovs and no pipebombs. I drop the gas can between the minigun and the exit/door button and SonnyBoy hits the button while I head back to man the minigun. He takes posittion on one of the generators and I open up with the minigun, cutting down the swarm coming through the 2nd floor window and whoever makes it past the fire wall on the right.
The crew starts falling one by one. Louis goes first (they
really hate him for some reason), then Zoey and SonnyBoy's position gets overwhelmed. Amidst the chaos, a Hunter jumps on him and I manage to shoot him off with some well placed minigun blasts. He jumps back up and we take on the waves until I start to get hit from behind by zombies crawling up through the floor. So I abandon the position, 180 spin smack a bunch of them off me and jump over the sandbags and open fire on them.
Out the corner of my eye I see SonnyBoy's down and the zombies, smelling blood, are all over him. Even the ones coming up throught the floor are seemingly oblivious to me and are running straight for him. He's down and shooting them with the dual pistols, I'm shooting them with the assault rifle.. bodies are dropping left and right. I'm talking 15-20+ zombies and a Boomer, all on him at once. :O
We overcome them and somehow he survives, so I climb up on the generator to help him up. All of a sudden a Smoker pops through the door and lashes me right before I start the animation. I fruitlessly start firing at him but he drags me towards him anyway. I accept my fate and we're screwed. But wait, somehow from his downed position (still on the generator no less) SonnyBoy lets off round after round, toward the Smoker. Bullets are zipping past my head as I'm being dragged and he takes out the Smoker before he delivers what would've been the final blow to end both our lives and the mission.
After we recover from the,
"Holy shit! Did that just happen?!" feeling, I climb back up the generator, lift him up and we hoof it up the stairs and I toss him some pills rather than tempt fate. We zip into the safe room and slam the door behind us.
SonnyBoy in the clutch.
