Greetings and welcome to this news!
We're on the home stretch! Since the announcement of the Closed Beta we have been very busy on many features and didn’t have the chance to post a news here for a while. But here we are again and to resume, we will continue a presentation we already began
in a previous news, the one about the different types of infected! (Yes, there are more!)
The Avenger
This infected, driven by a feeling of latent anger, is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous infected if you fight it without caution. Wild by nature, it prefers to surround itself with other infected behind whom it hides. It is when a survivor kills too many infected near it that its rage makes it a real berserker. Faster, stronger and tougher, it will not be so easy to put it on the ground. Especially since too much rage will make it attack anything that moves, including other infected!
The Tracker
Among all the bestiary that wants you dead, it is the Tracker who will push your limits the most. As its name implies, this infected will track you down wherever you are once it has spotted you. Its speed exceeds by far that of other infected (as well as yours), it will be the one attacking on the front line to slow you down with painful claw blows.
These two infected join those presented during the previous news (Crawler, Screamer, Protector, Puker and Catapult). They are identified as "Special Infected".
These specimens have the particularity of adapting to the player’s behavior and to the threat the player represents. They improve and gain specific skills as the player's threat level rises. For example, a Protector will charge you to protect another infected that you have attacked, a Crawler will jump on you from further away and so on.
Themed Infected
To these fearsome enemies are added the "Themed Infected". More numerous, it is easy to know who they were before being infected. Firefighters, workers or scientists, wearing a prisoner's suit or an antibacterial one, they differ from normal civilians by their themed appearance. Stronger or more resistant, capable of electrocuting or poisoning, they each have their own abilities that you will need to identify in order to prepare yourself accordingly.
Of course, getting rid of one of them will allow you to pick particular items up, such as firearms on Militaries Infected or fish on an Fisher Infected! Moreover, it is possible that one of them spreads its theme like an infection, contaminating the nearest objects’ containers. So find out which ones might hold the resources you are interested in and look for the places where you are most likely to find them.
The Peruvian
To conclude this news, we will have a look at one of the most mysterious infected. The Peruvian, sometimes called "Adventurer", is an infected who has gone through many different places before and after its infection.
Very resistant, having survived long journeys, it will not be easy to face it alone. But when you look at all the treasures that it was able to collect and that it drops once defeated, there is no doubt that you will find comrades in arms to go after it!
And that's all for this second news about infected! We hope you liked it! See you soon for a next news and perhaps for next infected!

We heard that something is happening in Lakeview... There's a weird man in town, maybe he has valuable things to sell? Apparently he likes pumpkins.
Will O'Wis will be in town until the 1st of December!
(Additionally, quality kits are now more easily obtainable. You're welcome.)
