This guide details completing Infested Clear Missions in 7 Days To Die, focusing on initiation, completion strategies, and rewards.
7 Days To Die offers diverse missions, with Infested missions standing out for their difficulty and rewards. These missions, unlocked after completing 10 Tier 1 missions (Tier 2 access required), involve clearing buildings teeming with challenging undead.
Initiate missions by interacting with any of the five traders (Rekt, Jen, Bob, Hugh, and Joe). Mission difficulty scales with tier and biome; Wasteland missions are tougher than forest missions. Infested missions present a higher zombie density and stronger enemy types (radiated zombies, cops, ferals). Tier 6 missions are the most challenging but offer substantial rewards for well-equipped players. The objective remains consistent across all tiers: eliminate all enemies in the designated area.
Upon reaching the Point of Interest (POI), activate the mission marker. Leaving the POI or dying results in mission failure. POIs often feature trigger points that initiate events (e.g., collapsing floors, zombie ambushes). Avoid the obvious, often well-lit paths to circumvent these traps. Carrying building blocks allows for quick escape from traps or creating alternative routes.
Zombies are indicated by red dots on the screen; larger dots signify closer proximity. Prioritize headshots. Specific enemy types require different strategies:
| Zombie Type | Abilities | Counter-Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Cops | Spit toxic vomit, explode when injured | Maintain distance, utilize cover before their vomit attack. |
| Spiders | Jump long distances | Listen for their screech before they jump; quick headshots. |
| Screamers | Summon other zombies | Prioritize eliminating them to prevent overwhelming hordes. |
| Demolition Zombies | Carry explosive packages | Avoid hitting their chests; run if the explosive activates. |
The final room typically contains high-value loot but also a large number of zombies. Ensure you are fully healed and prepared before entering. Remember: knowing your escape route is crucial. After clearing the zombies, collect the loot (including the Infested Cache) and report back to the trader.
Rewards are randomized but influenced by game stage, loot stage (boosted by skills like Lucky Looter and mods like Treasure Hunter), mission tier, and skill point allocation. The "A Daring Adventurer" perk significantly improves rewards: increasing Dukes earned and, at rank 4, allowing selection of two rewards instead of one. Selling unwanted items to the trader provides additional XP (1 XP per Duke).
