Infested missions are challenging but rewarding 7 Days To Die quests offering substantial XP, loot, and rare items. They unlock after completing 10 Tier 1 missions, requiring Tier 2 access. Difficulty scales with mission tier and biome; Wasteland missions are tougher than forest missions. The objective remains consistent: eliminate all enemies within a designated area.

Starting an Infested Clear Mission

Initiate missions by visiting one of the five traders (Rekt, Jen, Bob, Hugh, or Joe). Mission location and tier significantly impact difficulty. Higher tiers present tougher enemies.

Infested missions are considerably harder than standard clear missions, featuring increased zombie numbers and stronger variants (radiated zombies, cops, ferals). Tier 6 missions are the most difficult but offer the best rewards for well-equipped players.

Completing an Infested Clear Mission

Upon reaching the Point of Interest (POI), activate the mission marker. Leaving the area or dying results in mission failure. POIs often have trigger points that initiate events (e.g., collapsing floors, zombie ambushes). Avoid the main, often lit path to bypass these traps.

Carrying building blocks is advantageous for escaping traps or creating alternative routes to surprise enemies. Zombies are indicated by red dots on the screen; larger dots signify closer proximity. Headshots are the most effective way to eliminate zombies. Specific zombie types require different strategies:

The final room typically contains high-tier loot but also a large number of zombies. Ensure you're fully healed, weapons are loaded and durable, and you know the escape route before entering.

After clearing all zombies, the objective changes; report back to the trader to claim your reward. Collect all loot, including the infested cache (containing valuable ammo, magazines, and other items).

Infested Clear Mission Rewards

Rewards are random but influenced by game stage, loot stage, mission tier, and skill points. Boost your loot stage with the "Lucky Looter" skill or the Treasure Hunter mod. Higher tiers yield better rewards.

Investing in the "A Daring Adventurer" perk significantly improves rewards. At rank 4, it allows selecting two rewards instead of one. This perk increases the number of Dukes earned, and the extra rewards can include rare items like solar cells, crucibles, or legendary parts.

After claiming rewards, sell unwanted items to the trader for additional XP (1 XP per Duke).
