Difficulty points	3
Available in custom	Yes
Rollable in Chaos Studios	Yes

Detailed Mutator Information

Infested will start spawning from enemy structures starting at 2:00. If you clear all enemy structures, the infested will stop spawning.

Infested spawn in random quantities per wave, each wave occurring every 25 seconds. Before 13:20, between 2 to 4 infested will spawn per wave. After that, 4 to 6 infestd will spawn per wave.

The type of infested that spawn is dependent on the mission time, as shown in the table below:

Mission Time	Infested
0:00-6:20	Infested Terran
6:20-20:00	Infested Marine
20:00+	Aberration

Additionally, after 15:00, an Infested Medic will spawn with every spawn of the infested wave.

Due to the unique mechanics of Dead of Night that target Infested units, Infested Marines and Aberrations will burn during the day if they have spawned from Infested Structures, even those spawned from this mutator. If they spawn from other Amon structures, they will not burn.

On Miner Evacuation, all infested from Outbreak will have double HP.

Outbreak can spawn infested from the part boxes on Part and Parcel and can have some unexpected mutator interactions. Only the following mutators interact with the infested that spawn from the part boxes (these infested will appear with a white-colored alliance):

Concussive Attacks
Diffusion
Eminent Domain
Fear
Life Leech
