Infectors

[Arron Rift]

I can't comment as I've never gotten to try one

Could someone please consider trading me one (it won't do you any good after tonight anyways).

PM me if you're willing to trade me one on PS3

sadly there is a maximum limit for bug-eggs on 1 target at the same time....
and the bugs are quite slow, and sometimes they use Apple map as their navigation......
sigh....hope they can buff it.

1. the max limit eggs ist just for the amount of bugs that spawn on death.... but there is no limit on active bugs.
2. Most infector spawn a bug each 5th bullet on a infected target (incubator spawns 2 bugs each 5th bullet on infected targets, but does no extra damage) so you need to keep fireing on it even if it got tier 3 of infection. (except the cranker which should infect as many targets as possible because its a dot weapon, and outbreaker, it has high burst each 5th bullet, but only spawns bugs on death)
3. each bug that explodes makes AOE
4. bugs are actually realy fast and you can only escape with blur
5. they nagivation is great. they dont walk where you want them, because they are like zombies and just want to eat so that they simply attack random targets and explode then.
6. Infectors are one of the strongest weapons ingame if you use each type right..... every single infector handles different and has its own behavior (and there are many different ones like : Infector, Afflictor, Outbreaker, Invader, Incubator, Innuculator, etc....)

It might have just been the ones I have found, but did yours take 5 shots to spawn one bug? And have a clip size of 15-17? That's seems quite small and we have nothing really to help us in our ego's. If we had some kind of ego boost, like a larger clip or more bug damage I'd say it's fair but as of now every gun but the infector can benefit from egos.

If 4 bugs come out of a dead opponent, or a clip size of 25, I think it would be fair. Especially in pvp.

The one I was using fires 5 shots at a time, like a shotgun. I was able to load a target with eggs in 1 shot. I could effective kill a player with 3 shots from the infector, 4 if they had a better shield. Then the bugs would run around and attack others nearby. I think my best kill in pvp was when I killed 1 enemy player and the bugs ran off and killed 3 more players that were already weakened by a grenade I threw.

Standard magazine size of infector is 20

thanks 4 the tips
for my experience it's quite difficult for them to catch a sprinting player
and about the navi what i mean is it's a little absurd they dont go to the main target in ark fall...

I got an infector at EGO 125 i really wasnt impressed

I found one pretty early, and eventually quit using it cause it made PvE too easy. The one I had the bug dmg was very high (like 150). After infecting a target enough, they couldn't fight back, so not only did it do damage, spawn bugs that did damage and draw fire, but the targets I infected were shut down.

Now that sounds ridiculous, as my bug damage on the 3 infectors I found were 5 or 0. It makes me feel better that their are better infectors out there, especially one that spawns 2 bugs per 5 shots which sounds reasonable by all means. Still wish the ego incorporated it somehow a bit better though, but I cant complain I guess I'll just build a ton of health to soak up bullets.

Infectors are weak?
I can't agree with that.

The ones who spawn bugs are quite good in PvP.
They not only deal a good amount of damage, they also block your enemies vision.
Just hit him a few times, then hide behind some box and wait till the bulges grow.

However those that don't spawn bugs really don't have a place in PvP.
Instead they deal maximum DPS to high-armor targets in PvE (I found one with 172 damage/dot-tick as well as an extended magazine and high rof; it made monarchs melt like snow).

I had found loads of em, some with parasites, some that seek out the target and do DoT. They really seem to kick butt in pvp.
