No Mercy Campaign Overview
The No Mercy campaign is the first campaign in the game Left 4 Dead, spanning five levels. The campaign begins with the Survivors on the rooftop of an obliterated apartment complex, where they receive a message from a rescue helicopter to make their way to Mercy Hospital for evacuation [1].
Campaign Objective
The objective of the campaign is to navigate through the city, fighting off hordes of Infected, and reach the rooftop of Mercy Hospital to be rescued by a helicopter. The journey involves traversing through apartment buildings, city streets, subway tunnels, and sewers [1].
Strategies for Completing No Mercy
Several strategies have been proposed for completing the No Mercy campaign, particularly for the finale.
One strategy involves using molotovs to spawn and kill Tanks at specific times during the finale. This includes throwing a molotov at specific times (1:48, 2:42, 4:15) to spawn a Tank, and then retreating to a safer location to avoid taking damage [3].
Another strategy involves having one player act as a decoy to activate the chopper sequence while the other three players remain in a safe room, defending against the Tanks and hordes. Once the chopper arrives, the players must rush to the ladders and throw pipe bombs onto the roof to distract the hordes before boarding the chopper [4].
Challenges and Tips
Players have reported difficulty in completing the No Mercy finale on Expert difficulty, with Tanks being a major obstacle. To overcome this, players are advised to conserve ammo, work together as a team, and use tactics such as luring Tanks away from the group [2].
It's also recommended to grab ammo whenever possible and keep an eye on the bots' ammo levels. Protecting the bots is crucial as they can be helpful in fighting off hordes [3].
Changes and Updates
The No Mercy campaign was ported to Left 4 Dead 2 with The Sacrifice and Cold Stream DLCs, introducing new Infected, items, and weapons to the campaign. The Last Stand Community update for Left 4 Dead 2 also introduced new spawn points for Fallen Survivors and Mudmen in certain areas of the campaign
