7 Days To Die: How To Complete Infested Clear Missions (And Why They Are Worth Doing)

7 Days To Die: Conquer Infested Missions for Epic Rewards!

This guide dives deep into 7 Days To Die's challenging Infested Clear missions, outlining how to start, complete, and maximize your rewards. These missions offer significant XP gains, valuable loot, and a chance to acquire rare items.

How to Start an Infested Clear Mission

To embark on an Infested Clear mission, you must first reach Trader Tier 2 by completing 10 Tier 1 missions. These missions are significantly tougher than standard clear missions, featuring increased zombie numbers and stronger enemies like radiated zombies, cops, and ferals. The difficulty scales with mission tier, with Tier 6 representing the ultimate challenge. Remember, mission location (biome) impacts enemy types and their strength.

Completing an Infested Clear Mission

Upon reaching the Point of Interest (POI), activate the mission marker. Leaving the POI or dying results in mission failure. The game often designs a specific path, often marked by lighting. Avoid this path! It frequently triggers traps. Consider alternative routes, utilizing building blocks to bypass obstacles and surprise enemies.

Red dots on your screen indicate nearby zombies; size correlates to proximity. Prioritize eliminating Screamers to prevent hordes. Remember key enemy weaknesses:

Zombie Type	Abilities	Counter Strategy
Cops	Spit toxic vomit, explode when injured	Maintain distance, use cover when they cock their heads back.
Spiders	Jump long distances	Listen for their screech before they jump, then quickly eliminate.
Screamers	Summon other zombies	Prioritize eliminating these above all others.
Demolition Zombies	Carry explosive packages	Avoid hitting their chests; if the explosive beeps, run!

The final room often contains the best loot, but also the largest concentration of zombies. Ensure you're fully healed, weapons are loaded and durable, and you know the escape route before entering. Once the area is clear, collect the loot, including the valuable Infested Cache. Then, report back to the trader.

Infested Clear Mission Rewards

Rewards are randomized but influenced by game stage, loot stage (boosted by the "Lucky Looter" skill and the Treasure Hunter mod), mission tier, and perk selection. Investing in the "A Daring Adventurer" perk is crucial; at rank 4, it allows you to choose two rewards. Sell unwanted items to the trader for additional XP.

By following these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to tackle 7 Days To Die's Infested Clear missions and reap the rewards!
