anyone have any idea how much damage the blast of the gas station does when it explodes?

more often than not, that is the area we get a tank, and having killed a witch by luring her towards the gas station and making it go boom, i want to know how a tank would do.

I think I tried to kill a tank with it before, if I remember right tho it just downed 2 of our teammates and he only stumbled :|

If you can manage to get all of your teammates right next to it, the gas station gives you invulnerability for the entire map after it is shot.

I got the man vs tank ach. by taking his health down substantially this way. He just happened to spawn under it :D

Also, if you find some cake you can make the tank join the survivors!

I spawned as tank once, almost beside the gas station and as I was spawned in, it was blowing up. It took my health down to 1/4 at least. I remember that I couldn't do squat to the survivors because they killed me too quick.

I can't imagine a way to do that without incapping the "bait." She's pretty fast.

I outran her before, or just got a pretty good headstart and killed her that way. :/

One time we did it, and we got the tank stuck in all of the rubble. He couldn't move, so we sat there shooting him while he did nothing. It was great!

Stand under it as the smoker and drag survivors in.

More often than not. Some idiot will shoot the gas station instead of you... taking their team mate out (:

Did it once. The poor b*gger was right beside one of the pumps when the whole thing blew. Never saw him again.

Johnny's Story
we had a tank on his way to us, and as my team stopped in the open area between the diner and the trucks, i moved ahead to look for the tank. I saw the witch ahead, next to the lift, and in a moment of "best fing i eva done eva" i started to run towards the windows where the guns usually are, shot at the witch, and as she got closer, and i got a bit further from the explosion, i shot the gas pumps, it went boom, and she went splat against one of the trucks. i went back around the truck to my team, we beat up the tank, just, and when asked about the witch they all said "what witch?". so i may have imagined it.

i hope not for it was one of those rare gaming moments for me where i didn't even have to stop and think about what to do, some crazy digitised zombie killer instinct kicked in.

long story but u asked. kinda. or not.
