The Infected

The Infected are twisted remnants of the soldiers and mercenaries of Combat Arms.

After a deadly mistreatment of an experimental Stamina Kit, several test subjects underwent horrifying mutations and went berserk. Unable to contain them, NEMEXIS personnel quickly fell prey to the inhuman abberrations. More and more employees began to die as the outbreak reached an epidemic level. Anyone who came in direct contact with "Infected" personnel would eventually succumb to the virus themselves.

To prevent any civilian casualties, LAB 3 initiated a lockdown protocol which prevented anyone from leaving the complex. In a last-ditch attempt to notify the UAF. the remaining staff managed to get a distress signal out before all contact was lost.

Upon arrival, UAF reconnaissance found themselves surrounded by hundreds of Infected personnel. Attempts to contain the outbreak failed, and the Infection quickly spread within LAB 3 and beyond.
