Tips
  • Consider changing your commanding character to give your current character a rest before heading to the neighbour.
  • Try to take out the Screamer as soon as possible during the initial infestation.
  • Melee combat can be difficult during the initial infestation due to the number of zombies.
  • When collecting plague samples, engaging Plague Zombies from a distance with a gun is recommended.
  • The further away you are from other zombies when shooting Plague Zombies, the less likely you are to attract attention.
  • The neighbour's soda can bombs are helpful but may not be enough to destroy the Plague Heart on their own.
  • Enlist as many followers as possible before attempting to destroy the Plague Heart.
  • Sneak as close as possible to the Plague Heart's location before engaging zombies.
  • Let your followers handle zombie threats while you focus on destroying the Plague Heart.
  • Be sure to back away from the Plague Heart when it attacks with gas.

Note: After completing this mission, your gameplay will be influenced by the leadership chosen by each character in your community, with each leader having their own set of missions.
