7 Days To Die: Mastering Infested Clear Missions
This guide details how to tackle the challenging Infested Clear missions in 7 Days To Die, maximizing your rewards and survival chances. These missions, unlocked through trader tiers, offer significant XP, loot, and rare items.
Starting an Infested Clear Mission
Infested Clear missions task you with eliminating all enemies within a designated area. Expect tougher enemies, including radiated zombies, cops, and ferals. Tier 6 missions are particularly difficult but offer the best rewards.
Completing an Infested Clear Mission
Navigating the POI: POIs (Points of Interest) contain trigger points that activate hordes of zombies. Avoid the main, often lit path, to prevent triggering these traps. Consider using building blocks to create alternative routes or escape paths if you fall into a trap.
Tracking Zombies: Activated zombies appear as red dots on your screen. The larger the dot, the closer the zombie. This helps you track their location and avoid being overwhelmed.
Enemy Strategies: Focus on headshots. However, be aware of special zombie types:
Zombie Type | Abilities | Counter-Strategy |
---|---|---|
Cops | Spit toxic vomit, explode when injured | Observe their head-throw before spitting; maintain distance. |
Spiders | Jump long distances | Listen for their screech before they jump; quick headshots. |
Screamers | Summon other zombies | Prioritize eliminating them to prevent hordes. |
Demolition Zombies | Carry explosive packages | Avoid hitting their chests; run if the explosive beeps. |
The Final Room: The final room contains high-tier loot, but also the largest concentration of zombies. Ensure you're fully healed, armed, and have a clear escape route before entering.
Loot: In addition to standard loot crates, Infested Clear missions yield an Infested Cache, often containing valuable ammo, magazines, and other high-quality items. Don't forget to collect everything before leaving!
Infested Clear Mission Rewards
Rewards include XP and items. The "Dukes" perk significantly boosts mission rewards. At Rank 4, this perk allows you to select two rewards instead of one, making it invaluable for obtaining rare items like solar cells, crucibles, or legendary parts. After completing the mission, sell any unwanted items to the trader for additional XP (1XP per Duke).
