The "Launch Trailer" is the sixth short of Overkill's The Walking Dead. It shows the four starting playable characters all on a mission to retrieve their water purifier from the Family.
Plot[]
Heather and Grant scout out the Family's base from inside a nearby house. Grant spots their water purifier already hooked up within the base and guarded by dozens of bandits. Meanwhile Maya and Aidan find a way in on the south side of the camp.
The four of them sneak into the base and Heather tells Anderson that they've found the purifier over the radio, but she's not sure if they should proceed with the mission. He tells her it's the only way and they need it back, but to remain quick and quiet.
Aidan and Maya quietly kill two bandits by stabbing them in the neck while Heather quietly kills another with her crossbow. Maya begins work cutting the hoses hooked up to the purifier with her knife while a heavily armored bandit finds the three bodies and alerts the rest of the camp.
The heavy bandit spots Maya and fires his pistol, but she ducks behind cover just in time. Heather throws a smoke grenade at the heavy, but he covers himself with his shield. Grant shoots a padlock off a gate and letting in numerous walkers as a distraction. Maya successfully gets the purifier and shoots at the heavy who blocks the bullets with his shield. Aidan hits him from behind with his bat and is shield-bashed to the floor by the bandit. Maya tries shooting him from behind, saving Aidan from being shot, but does little damage to his bullet proof vest. When the bandit turns around again, Aidan blasts a hole in his chest with his shotgun.
The survivors escape as a herd fills the streets. Heather calls for Anderson who tells them to hold tight and to fire their flare to signal their ride. As the walkers get closer, Caleb pulls up in a truck and the survivors flee while covering their escape.

- This trailer is also included at the start of the game.
