About Infestation: The New Z
Infestation: The New Z is a free‑to‑play multiplayer shooter for Windows that grew from community feedback. It offers a massive open world where players can battle each other, complete missions, and claim territories across several map types.
The title bundles four distinct free‑to‑play modes, a large loot pool, character skins, and a custom Fredaikis Anti‑Cheat system. Servers are located in Europe, North America, South America, and Hong Kong.
01 / THE GUIDE
Open World Mode
In Open World players may choose traditional large maps or smaller close‑combat arenas. The mode is described as PvP‑focused, with loot noted as common, which encourages frequent gear exchanges during fights.
Core activities include missions, territory capture, and clan battles. Players can switch between first‑person and third‑person perspectives while pursuing these objectives.
- Visit high‑traffic loot zones early to gear up quickly.
- Coordinate with clan members when attempting to seize a territory.
02 / THE GUIDE
Survival Mode
Survival places players in the same open world but emphasizes scavenging, crafting, and avoiding zombies or hostile survivors. The description links loot and gameplay to the older Infestation series.
Friends can explore known loot spots together, but the presence of zombies and other survivors creates risk that must be managed during each foray.
- Form a small group to share crafting resources.
- Stay near known loot hotspots while watching for zombie ambushes.
03 / THE GUIDE
Competitive Mode
Competitive allows solo players or squads of up to five to compete in fast‑paced matches. Participants climb a ranking system based on performance, as described in the source.
Matches are described as intensive, encouraging quick decision‑making and coordinated attacks to improve rank.
- Maintain consistent communication to synchronize attacks.
- Target high‑value opponents to boost ranking points.

Customization & Trading
Players can personalize characters with skins, clothing, and sprays, creating unique appearances. A wide selection of weapons is also lootable, expanding visual and functional variety.
Several trading lounges let players exchange hard‑earned items, supporting a player‑driven economy that operates alongside regular gameplay.
- Visit trading lounges regularly to locate rare gear.
- Save event‑only items for future trades.
05 / THE GUIDE
Anti‑Cheat & Server Infrastructure
The game runs the custom Fredaikis Anti‑Cheat engine, which the description says aims to provide a fair playing environment. Continuous updates are promised based on community feedback.
Servers are distributed across Europe, North America, South America, and Hong Kong, giving players regional options for lower latency.
