The most common infected in-game are known as Blighters, they are seen pretty much everywhere. Corpses will vanish if the player leaves an area. The Prepper will tell the survivor that until an infected's corpse's head is decapitated or completely destroyed, it is not actually dead. Getting bitten or killed by an infected individiual will result in the person also turning into an infected. They do not appear to feel pain like normal people and will continue to attack survivors even after having the limbs broken or severed off. They can sniff-out the uninfected and are attracted to bright lights and loud sounds. The infected were formerly normal everyday humans, but upon the outbreak of the predicted Blight, they became infected with a deadly, contagious virus that kills and reanimates humans into aggressive, cannibalistic creatures with superior senses but far less intellligence.
