Infestations: New 4-Star Mods & Infestation Map

What are Infestations?

Mastering Infestations: The Ultimate Test for High-Level Players

Forget the daily grind—Infestations are here to shake up Appalachia's endgame. This dynamic system isn't a structured event, but a map-wide threat tailored specifically for veteran players.

Infestations: When an Infestation triggers at a designated location, it completely overrides the local fauna. Standard enemies disappear, replaced instead by lethal Infested factions. Spawning anywhere in the wasteland—except for Skyline Valley and Burning Springs—these high-threat targets offer a massive spike in difficulty that will test even the most optimized builds. How to Find and Track Infestations on Your Map:

Navigating these high-level events is simple if you know what map markers to look for. Tracking an Infestation involves two distinct phases:

• The Green Circle (Discovery Phase): When you get close to an active Infestation location, or if a teammate discovers one first, a green circle will appear on your map to mark the zone.

• The Red Circle (Boss Phase): Once players actively engage the Infestation, a second red circle will appear. This high-priority zone marks the exact location of the spawn's Boss enemy, which you must defeat to clear the objective.
