Wildlife & infected
What you meet out there, how dangerous it is and what a hunted animal gives you.
Infected
Infected all look different, and they do not all move the same way. Noise and being seen draw them to you; crouching, sneaking and staying out of sight keep you unnoticed longer. Killed infected can be searched for loot.
Shambler
Shuffles along slowly, even when it has seen you. Dangerous mainly in groups or in tight rooms.
Limper
Drags one leg behind it. Slow, but a little tougher than the others.
Hobbler
Limps after you at a slow pace. Easy to walk away from, easy to overlook in a group.
Crawler
Crawls along the ground and is easy to miss in tall grass or dark rooms. Very slow and goes down quickly.
Jumper
Quicker than the shamblers and leaps at you from close range – its jump hits harder than a normal blow. Keep your distance.
Runner
Sprints after you as soon as it has spotted you. It goes down fairly quickly, but it is the most dangerous type: fight it or break line of sight.
Wildlife
Skin a hunted animal with a blade to get what is listed. Sneaking lets you get closer before an animal notices you; a badly damaged carcass gives less.
Chicken
Harmless and easy to approach. Little meat, but plenty of feathers.
- 2 × Chicken Breast
- 10 × Chicken Feathers
- 1 × Bones
Deer
Very shy: it notices you from far away and outruns anyone. Sneak up on it and use a rifle or bow. Plenty of meat and a pelt.
- 10 × Deer Steak
- 1 × Deer Pelt
- 2 × Guts
- 1 × Lard
- 1 × Bones
Wild boar
Tough and hard to bring down – it takes a lot of hits. The best meat yield of all animals.
- 13 × Boar Steak
- 1 × Boar Pelt
- 2 × Guts
- 1 × Lard
- 2 × Bones
Wolf HOSTILE
A predator that hunts you: wolves notice you from very far away and attack. They are faster than you, so fight rather than run. Wolf meat carries a higher risk of illness.
- 9 × Wolf Steak
- 1 × Wolf Pelt
- 2 × Guts
- 1 × Lard
- 1 × Bones
