Ability to play without infection?

Im not sure Im behind a silly mechanic that rolls a dice to determine you're doomed for the rest of the game.

I dont even know why they talk like players LOVE infection. Coop in a hardcore game where someone dying at the start means they are out for the next hours is already awful as is.

There is currently no way to disable infection. Not getting infected is really easy to do at the moment. Just watch your stamina bar and as long as you press "F" fast you can never get infected. Play smart and you should be fine.

Infection was a major part of the original game.. its the only thing that brings difficulty to the game, otherwise go play any other zombie game ever dude.. literally everybody wanted the infection. we just wanted it at release.

I managed to get a perk that nullifies infection for my character so theres that way

Honestly they should've waited till they fixed the hit registration issues before adding the infection mechanic.

The original was smaller maps and resembled L4D2 runs so you didn't have to sit out that long of the game not doing anything.

im personaly not sure if infection changes anything , i played 10 matches and people ether die instantly due lack of healing or not get infected at all

pills seam common but yet i got to be infected yet

also abundance of guns and ammo , and i often get into runs where noone does becouse you just rush it and teams sticks together and shares ammo

once you hit powerplant infection chance is close to zero as everyone just runs and gun

2 things that currently are op is: run , go between POI , complete as fast as you can , grab everything , share guns and ammo and go quickly to next , save "good guns ammo" for powerplant (use revolver as much as possible early on to save time)

share with people , carry ammo if you got spare space and dont need it , people often share ammo for guns they dont need in loot room and during endgame you endup using only like half of it even if you shot every zombie
