Because of some requests, I decided to do a guide on how to get better at Infected. This guide will give you some tricks and tips on how to become better at Infected. It does not guarantee that you will be good but will help you a bit. (NOTE: This is as of December 1, 2015. Any updates after this time may not be listed yet)

The Basics:
First off, what is Infected? Infected is a game mode where the players are split into two teams: Infected and Humans. Random Players can become Infected and their goal is to infect the humans in the time limit provided. The Human's Goal is to survive throughout the entire time of the game. In this game, you cannot regenerate health the normal way. You must use health potions, Drinks (Melon that regenerates two hearts), and Apples (Apples that regenerate three hearts).

Ranking Up:
Throughout game play, you may receive coins upon killing the other team or winning the game. These coins can be used to purchase perks such as extra grenades, selling, or ranking up. It is highly recommended that you use coins to rank up. To rank up, type /shop and purchase a rank up. Below is a list of perks that can be received at each rank. To get from Rank 0 to Rank 20, it will take 31,400 Coins.

Tips for Humans:
So after reading the basics, you are now starting your first game. The first tip that I will give to any Infected player is to turn on hitboxes. This is essential for any players that wish to combat bats and wolves. Hit boxes will give you the region for you to hit in. Next, save your apples. Apples > Drinks so use your drinks first. Furthermore, I would suggest staying in a team. By staying in a team, you increase your chances of surviving. Finally, I would suggest that you avoid taking unnecessary risks. These include picking fights or spawn killing. These are highly likely to get you killed. Find somewhere that you can camp easily with one or two entrances. You want these areas to be easily and quickly reached yet easy to defend against the swarm. These areas are to be fit for your style of fighting and will require you to look around various maps to find certain places. By playing more on various maps, you will begin to know more about the layout and be able to effectively maneuver through the maps.

Tips for Infected:
For Infected, I would suggest not choosing your kits immediately. Look at who is playing in the game as a human. After seeing that, determine what kit is necessary for the job. I would suggest witch for high profile players such as any rank 20 or those that are excessively good. I would suggest bat or wolf for basic killing or if you are good at PvP. Blaze are good for runners as the flame can slow down the player. Skeleton and Enderman are good for attacking hiding or camping players that are difficult to reach. Work as a team. Even if you are all zombies, you can outnumber other players. If you are the first Infected, I would suggest targeting low rank targets as they are easier and necessary to get more players to swarm a higher rank player.

Tips for Coins:
For coins, I would suggest buying a rank. As cliche as it sounds, it is one of the best ways to help the server and boost your coins winning. As you rank up on the server itself, you can gain coin multipliers in game. If you need to, gain Meebles in other games and ask for Coin Sellers. These Coin Sellers are willing to sell coins they have gained for the right price. If you are buying coins this way, do not ever buy coins that cost more than 1.5x the sell price at the Coin Villager. Finally, killing other players can gain you a lot of coins. So if you are good at PvP, then you should focus on killing. As a side note, if you are human and are playing, you should suicide if you are one of the last two and you do not think you can survive. That way, you can win the game as Infected and gain coins. If you are the last one to be Infected, you will not gain coins.

Players to Ask for Help:
Any of the staff online or certain players online are willing to help you if you have any questions. To ask for help within a game, do /w or /g . If you have any specific questions on certain mechanics of the game, ask me on here and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for reading :D
