I'm curious (read: searching for ways to save my own butt by reading) what you would do in an apocalypse caused by:
1. Natural disaster such as fire, flood, sun exploding etc
2. Monsters such as zombies, vampires, werewolves, and what-have-you
3. Plague-based, think Black Plague
4. Alien invasion
5. Sentient robot takeover

1: Use the flood to put out the fire
As for the Sun, its expiration date is set for millions of years from now... I think were are good for now.
2: Zombies, if they're like Quake 1, grab the grenade launchers. Vampires, wooden stakes/holy water/ burn their coffins. Werewolves, silver bullets or silverware (granted, it's more popular with the bullet, but a silverware knife could still do the job. I mean, have you ever seen a dramatic life-and-death struggle over a silverware knife?). As for Giant Monsters Like Godzilla or Cthulhu... I'll use the proven Quake 1 method (your player vs Shub-Niggurath) just tele-frag them using a positioned teleporter.
3: You actually thought up the same idea I mentioned here
http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-19879.html as a Penumbra Sequel. My only thought for hope is finding the cure like Penumbra's Eloff Carpenter did... provided you can live long enough to actually make the cure.
4 and 5: Easy, overload their computers with spam and computer viruses. That or the world's largest EMP weapon from a massive volcano. As for any surviving foot soldiers, we have plenty of troops (or secret government monsters) to use against them.
Now here's another 'doomsday' scenario to add to the list. Like this thread;s list, meant to be funny and have funny solutions for them.
6: Meteor heading for Earth.
7: Alien Ship with a planet-killing beam aimed for Earth.
8: Space dwelling giants/giantess' wanting to use the Earth as a volleyball.
