Defeating Sgt. Dwight

During Case 6-2 use the following trick to easily kill Sgt. Dwight. To perform it enter Fortune Park and go to the red SUV which costs $2 million to unlock by purchasing the keys. Drive the SUV to the underground area and squeeze it in. At the entrance to the loading bay there are a line of large boxes blocking it off. Drive over these boxes and squeeze the SUV under the security gate. This will trigger the cinematic for the Boss fight against Sgt. Dwight. When the cinematic has completed you will be on foot again and if you look at where you entered you will see the SUV is stuck halfway in the room. Get inside the SUV and squeeze it in the rest of the way through and then use it to kill Sgt. Dwight.


Wheelchairs

Instead of using your arms or your back to transport survivors to the safehouse use wheelchairs. Just push a wheelchair up to the survivor and wait for them to sit down (they don't have to be injured). When you run the wheelchair to the safehouse you can use it as a weapon knocking down zombies but don't hit too many or crash into too many walls or the wheelchair will break and you will dump the survivor. The wheelchair can also be armed with weapons and used like a tank as shown in the video below.
