Survivor's Log

VAR: Exterminate · published 25 Oct 2021, 17:21 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Survivors have reported that they have discovered a group of mutated and special infected zombies over the past few days. These infected are cunning by nature, highly agile, and very aggressive. Once they have their sight on you, escape isn't an option, just like hunters lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to pounce.

Studies had pointed out that the common feature of this unique type of infected all shared a shared history of the medical condition "Goiter" before they turned. Along with other various thyroid, disease symptoms evolved them to what they are today. Is this the work of a natural mutation or a product of a biochemical weapon? Survivors, please work together to uncover the mystery that causes the infected zombies to change.

New Enemies

  • Pyro

    Ability Introduction

    The highly aggressive special infected zombies spit flames, leaving survivors no space to breathe!
  • Infector

    Ability Introduction

    The aggressiveness is as intense as PYRO, but the acid attack will cause continuous damage to survivors!
  • Sludger

    Ability Introduction

    Shoots out the that obstruct the line of sight.
  • Howler

    Ability Introduction

    A special infected zombie who is nonaggressive. However, the howler attracts hoards of zombies that can easily be too much to handle if the threat isn't managed.


The above four special types of infected zombies will show high mobility and aggressiveness that have not been seen in the past, bringing threats to an unprecedented level. So, survivors, please have a keen eye and spot them early. This is your key to survival!
