Infection and syringes

A survivor, a zombie and the biohazard symbol

A zombie bite can infect you.

  • The Scoreboard shows “Zombie in…” with a countdown.
  • Your character takes on a green tint and your hearts change color.
  • Near the end of the countdown, you hear zombie groans.

At zero, you die and a zombie spawns in your place.

In a SafeZone or during your exit immunity, the countdown is paused. It starts again when you can be hurt again. In a SafeZone, a bite cannot infect you.

A cure syringe lying in the grass

Hold a Cure Syringe and use it. The infection goes away.

  • Cure Syringe
  • Blood Syringe
  • Morphine Syringe
  • Empty Syringe
  • The Cure Syringe heals the infection.
  • The Blood Syringe gives back the blood you lost.
  • The Morphine Syringe heals a broken leg.

Each syringe works once and leaves an Empty Syringe. A syringe that has no effect on you is not used up.
