The Infecting 3

The Infecting 3 continues the story of Alex, Rudi, Avery, Dominik, Leanna and Paul from the canon second ending of The Infecting 2. After fleeing from the military, Paul tries to fly the group to safety, but a broken fuel gauge leads to a crash landing on a mysterious island. Rudi, Alex and Leanna search for the others and investigate the outbreak, exploring the island and the dark depths beneath it.

You fight infected and human enemies, drive vehicles and customise your character and ride. Combat involves managing limited ammunition, using melee weapons at close range and avoiding attacks that can kill you instantly.

Combat and enemies

Guns differ in damage and fire rate, so you must learn how to handle them and conserve ammunition. If your primary weapon runs out, you can switch to a secondary weapon, though this is usually a last resort. Melee weapons deal high damage and do not run out of ammunition, but using them means balancing the risk of staying close enough to hit with the need to keep your distance.

Standard infected try to bite you, which kills you instantly. Evolved or modified infected may move faster or attack with ranged projectiles. Human enemies may be stronger than you, but are less able to focus their aim; dodge bullets and swings before returning fire.

Driving

Vehicles let you travel through large hordes while protected inside, but ramming infected can take more than one hit. Infected with defences such as riot shields may need two rams, while evolved infected can take many hits.

Modes and customisation

The campaign explores the island's deep levels. You can also play a custom survival mode, complete challenges and other modes, or use the sandbox to test weapons, characters, AI and perks. The game includes The Lambdatrials and Be the Zombie, along with 24 fully customisable characters with different skillsets and 32 fully customisable cars that prioritise either speed or damage.
