Survive Broly Infection Mode Guide

Infection Mode is Survive Broly’s chaos multiplier. Instead of a pure hunter-versus-hider stalemate, conversions create new threats mid-round and punish anyone who treats chip damage as “fine.” This guide explains how to play both sides of Infection, how it differs from classic rounds, and how to chase the rare untouchable badge without feeding free spreads.

If you are brand new, read Getting Started and How to Survive first. Infection assumes you already know how to rotate a destructible map.

What Infection changes

• Damage or downs can create additional infected pressure.
• Safe stalling spots expire faster because more agents patrol.
• Heroic peeks are punished harder than in classic.
• The untouchable badge requires surviving an Infection round without taking damage — roughly a 10% historical win-rate style challenge based on badge stats.

Exact conversion rules can shift with patches, so verify HUD prompts after updates listed on the Updates Hub.

Survivor plan for Infection

Priority order

1. Do not take damage.
2. Do not take damage.
3. Help teammates only if you can do it without eating a hit.

That repetition is intentional. Untouchable and strong Infection winrates both come from refusal to ego-challenge hunters.

Pathing rules

• Pre-choose wide loops with multiple exits from the Maps guide.
• Avoid narrow wards once two or more threats are live.
• Cross open lobbies only with vision on the entry angles.
• Spend mobility proactively to leave a room before a chase starts, not reactively after you are already clipped.

Kit choice

Favor mobility and information kits on the Survivor Tier List. Support peels are useful for teammates, but they are secondary if your personal badge goal is zero damage.

Hunter / infected pressure plan

Early tags matter more than stylish long chases. A converted player becomes another searcher. Hit the clustered survivors first — Infection loves closets full of friends. After a conversion, communicate which wing is covered so humans cannot reset in silence.

Broly still benefits from deleting cover. Dio still benefits from locking a lane before a swing. The difference is follow-up: leave someone behind to hold the convert while you open the next floor.

Untouchable badge route

1. Queue Infection intentionally (requeue if the lobby is pure classic).
2. Equip your safest mobility survivor.
3. Mute the urge to save loud teammates across the map.
4. Play the edges of the hospital, not the parade route mid lanes.
5. If you take any damage, treat the badge attempt as failed and switch to helping the team win normally.
6. Review missteps with Controls — many “mystery hits” are misclicked sprints into swings.

Badge statistics show untouchable is far rarer than Survivor or useless. Expect many attempts.

Randomizer plus Infection mindset

When modifiers stack, survival becomes pure spacing. Ignore vanity challenges. If the lobby can spawn absurd hunter counts and Infection pressure together, your only job is clean movement and exit discipline. For dedicated stack-chaos planning, open Randomizer Mode.

Common Infection mistakes

• Checking on a downed teammate in a doorway
• Fighting for loot in the loudest room
• Assuming one convert is “still basically classic”
• Using all mobility to take a selfie on Broly
• Giving up after one failed untouchable attempt instead of reviewing the death camera

Infection Mode is Survive Broly at its greediest. The players who respect damage as a resource — not a suggestion — are the ones still standing when the timer and the badge both clear.
