sorry to interrupt the celebrating the snow or whatever you do but if this place can bring creatures from our homes here you guys should probably know to look out for infected
long story short, infected are like zombies except the cordyceps fungus is a mushroom growing in your brain and they're technically still alive. don't think about it too hard.
its spread through spores, bites, and scratches if there's blood or saliva or something in it. when infected die naturally, they attach to stuff and release spores. do not breathe in the fucking spores. you WILL get infected and you WILL turn within 2 days. wear a mask.
there's 4 stages.
[ just to be helpful, each stage comes with a little drawing done by Ellie herself. she's not half bad but i am, so please refer to the wiki page, cw for body horror. ]
stage 1 -> runner, newly infected. fast, aggressive, strong. get the jump on them when they are quiet. can be killed like any non-infected, strangled, shot, etc. you might hear them crying or mumbling when they're not trying to murder you. it's creepy as fuck but you can't help them.
stage 2 -> stalker. the fungus starts growing out of them but they can still see, they'll hide and ambush when your guard is down. they can attach to walls and pretend to be dead just to fuck your shit up when you turn your back. they work with the other infected too.
stage 3 -> clicker. you can't miss them, the mushrooms are bursting out of their skull. clickers suck ass. they're blind, but that just means they're hearing if stupidly good. distract with bricks, bottles, any other object that will make noise, then sneak past. the best chance to kill one is a gunshot to the head twice, or a shiv to the neck.
stage 4 -> bloater. covered in plates of cordyceps. infected a long time, huge, deadly, throw acidic spore-filled sacks. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. seriously. they take like 5 molotov and a million nail bombs and bullets to kill. just fucking run. these fuckers WILL pull your head right off your body by the time you get a single plate off of them. i don't give a shit how strong or magic you are, they WILL fuck you up and it'll be your own fault.
i haven't seen any so far, but just one can bring down everything. if you see one, tell me.
as FEDRA likes to say, inaction costs lives.
