"Tusk"
McDermott first appears in the briefing room next to Montgomery. After telling Dr. Harold Martin he has not had permission to approach, he is told to stand down by Montgomery. He is signed up for the next supply run and leaves with the other five runners. When only five return, he tells the story of how he and Montgomery went to find survivors they heard but Montgomery got bit and had to be put down. He gives a speech in the briefing room about focusing on finding a cure and how the general was in Texas. He sets forth a new rule but does not instate a totalitarian-style plan at that time.

He is later seen with PFC Gunderson and Private Joseph Jones meeting with Dr. Martin. After recognizing Ellis among the infected, he strangles Dr. Martin and tells him he killed Montgomery and that the general is most likely gone before crushing the doctor's trachea and shooting him and the four infect in the head. He then institutes totalitarian rule and tells Gunderson, Sergeant Gutierrez and Corporal Maxwell to clear the dead at the fences at first light. In the middle of the night, Gutierrez wakes him and tells him the dead have entered the base. McDermott grabs a rocket launcher from his room and heads into the corridors. He later fires the launcher into a hallway full of the dead, killing them all as well as launching Gary Sanchez into a piece of rebar jutting from the wall. After walking through the pile of dead, he puts down the reanimated Gary and tells Gutierrez, Maxwell and David Sharpe to start clearing out the base
