To beat the Season 7 Chapter 2 Cemetery Duty challenge in The Walking Dead No Man's Land, lead your three-survivor squad through the graveyard using silent melee attacks, funnel walkers into tombstone choke points, and extract all team members on the same turn. Unsuppressed gunfire accelerates the walker threat meter, so noise discipline and tight positioning are critical to reaching the exit without triggering lethal reinforcement waves.
Recommended Squad Setup
Bring a balanced three-survivor roster that blends silent single-target elimination, reliable crowd control, and ranged overwatch protection.
| Survivor Role | Recommended Weapon | Primary Tactical Role |
|---|---|---|
| Scout (or Daryl) | Combat Knife or Crossbow | Scouting unrevealed corners and scoring silent one-hit melee kills |
| Bruiser | Blunt Weapon or Crowbar | Holding choke points and stunning walkers that survive initial attacks |
| Shooter or Hunter | Silenced Pistol or Hunting Rifle | Covering sightlines on overwatch and picking off distant targets |
Keep your Scout equipped with high-critical melee gear to eliminate standard walkers quietly in a single turn. Your Bruiser serves as an anchor, using stuns on high-health targets to prevent your squad from taking damage and suffering injury downtime. If you deploy a Shooter or Hunter, use suppressed weapons or reserve them for overwatch duty so stray gunshots do not spike the threat meter early.
Turn-by-Turn Movement Tactics
The cemetery map restricts movement with crypt walls, monuments, and narrow dirt tracks, leaving walkers hidden just around blind corners. Move deliberately across two distinct action phases each turn:
- Scout with partial movement: Move your Scout forward using only half of their action points to reveal the path ahead. If you uncover a dormant walker, confirm whether your remaining movement points can finish it before attacking.
- Anchor the frontline: Advance your Bruiser directly behind the Scout along a tombstone or wall edge. This guarantees that any walker rounding the corner during the enemy phase triggers an intercept.
- Set overwatch coverage: Position your ranged survivor in the corridor behind your melee frontliners, placing their attack cone over both forward positions.
- Take silent takedowns: Use the Scout's melee strikes to clear walkers blocking intersections one by one, keeping the threat meter stable.
If multiple walkers converge from different paths, fall back toward a narrow alley between crypts. Forcing enemies into a single-file line neutralizes their numbers and lets your Bruiser stun the lead target while the rest of the team finishes them off.
Extraction Phase Execution
The mission ends only when every squad member reaches the green extraction tiles. Rushing a high-mobility Scout onto the exit pad alone leaves slower or injured teammates behind to be surrounded in the corridors.
Maintain a tight defensive triangle as you approach the cemetery perimeter. Clear any walkers guarding the exit gate first, hold the perimeter until all three survivors are within range, and then step onto the extraction pads during the same turn.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
Good guide for The Walking Dead No Man's Land players. The strategy part was useful.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
