Pro tips to stop infection ; stop rushing like hell and try to avoid zeds. you can play few hours and loot many building without aggro the whole map and being hit by all the Z. Just focus on what you need (food, drink, anitbiotics just in case ...) and don't take risks you can't handle. What's the point to have a gun if you can't eat ? If going into a building is too dangerous (Z, players..), just try another one, or wait. You don't need to rush, you need to survive. About PvP : If you always aggro, everybody knows where you are.... and you can't defend yourself with tons of Z following you. I'm not a bandit but i saw a lot of them hunting people and finally die because they couldn't escape from zombies and players (me :P) To all the bandits : don't stop your activity, you make my game experience more intense. Loved the patch, i played a lot of time with it and i had no problem with Z and infection (1 hit in 5hours). My only problem was to find drink and food, but i finally managed to survive (i was a fresh spawn and now i have guns, ghillie, alice pack, food and drink). But i can understand some people find it difficult. Btw, if you want to spawn with a gun and only PvP, stop complain get out of there and go play CoD. Sorry for my English. Sheo EDIT : TL;DR Just play safe and don't rush, you won't be infected...
