ElCabong Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It seems that all you get is an extra chance for the same sort of stuff you're looting anyway. The trader award isn't any different either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really T3 ammo chance lootgroup name="groupReinforcedChestT3_01"> <item group="groupAmmoLarge"/> </lootgroup> T3 Infested Loot crate <lootgroup name="groupInfestedT3" count="all"> <item group="groupAmmoMunitions" count="3"/> <item group="groupAmmoLarge" count="2"/> </lootgroup> So you are getting more ammo from the infested clear quests Trader wise, they are the same except you get more XP and dukes from the infested quest. Trader rewards in general are already OP so you don't need to boost the infested ones really.

I got some exploding crossbow bolts from the last one I did. That's okay but not going to motivate me to choose an infested quest over a regular one.

Yes the higher tier ones do, I was comparing the T3 clear with the T3 infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornias Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Tier 5 infected are the sweet spot. Barely have to make my own ammo anymore (plz no nerf FP). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krougal Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It's also a lot faster to clear a T4 than a T5 and time is money, so yeah, more profit. I just made T6 so I haven't done any yet, but I imagine they take even longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pApA^LeGBa Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 You did find the infested cache right? It´s an ammo chest and usually there is a LOT of ammo inside. Definitly worth it imo. Also the more enemies the more honor (aka XP). Infested Navezgane Corrections is an adventure though. A fun one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khissi Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 When I'm low on ammo, doing several quick, Tier 3 or 4 Infested is an amazing way to pump it up. Fast, easy, fun! Please, never nerf those things! Also, I believe the Tier 5 Infested are just about the most fun you can manage to have in 7 Days, if you like playing solo and if you like doing stealth. LOVE those things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a crossbow and ammo's never a problem. Usually sell what I find in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam the Waster Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Imo no not really You get slightly better loot and a large stock pile of ammo and a weapon mod. But not really worth it. I do it if I'm bored or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and XP, and more killing is more XP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riamus Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Considering you are doing a quest in a lower tier POI, that means it is generally going to be faster than an equal tier clear quest, even with the increased number of zombies. This means you gain loot and xp faster, generally speaking. So, yes, it is worth it. Plus, the ammo chests are nice. Besides, infestation quests really aren't much more difficult than a regular quest in that POI. A little, yes, but not much. There are a couple exceptions, of course. The prison and jail stand out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum123456789 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 tier 5 infestation quests are an ammo farm i would say so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'm assuming that the conflicting feedback is due to some people using mostly melee whenever possible and saving bullets and others spraying and praying with their machine guns. To me, they are totally worthwhile. I come out way ahead in ammo which is great and the reason I choose them in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm....well I mostly melee and let my turrets do the shooting but ammo still always makes me happy, although it does let me waste 7.62 and .44 when I feel like it. Mainly though, I do them for the speed killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramethzer0 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 At low levels I can tell no difference between an infestation mission and a regular sweep mission, just the extra case of loot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FA_Q2 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) As others have stated, the real gain is in T5 infected. The jump in time to clear a T5 over a T4 is MASSIVE and generally makes T5 not worth the overall effort. Using a T4 POI for a T5 quest makes it MUCH more valuable IMHO. Before that, however, I do not find them all that useful. Edited August 23, 2023 by FA_Q2 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneManStanding Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 We generally come out with a lot more ammo than we wasted going in. As for loot, we've got our pockets, robots and vehicles crammed with good stuff to sell. Even if there's nothing we need to buy, melting down the dukes for brass is an option. Not to mention, with a friend they can be very chaotic and fun at the toughest difficulties. These are the first missions I think either of us died on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCabong Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Whenever I get low on ammo I lockpick police cars. Usually get a pipe weapon I can scrap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
