Which stage of the infected would you be the most afraid of? Comment your thoughts below!

[shadowspector]

I used to think the Rat King was the last stage of the infection but I heard that the only reason that monstrosity happened was because all the original infected were grouped up together in one room. So in other words, the Rat King is not a normal stage for the infected.

[adiaj]

I’m not going to the infected make my skin crawl 😖They did a good job with the costumes. 🤢

[TM--]

This was a very good episode, the truck explosion scene with all those infected was nuts. RIP Henry and sam. 😣

[spicywaffle_]

the child clicker wigged me out, there were no child clickers in the game and it disturbed me a bit

[BlindedBraille]

We really haven't gotten to see Stalkers in the show and the description in the video only describes them from the show. Stalkers are rare and tend to hide in poorly lit areas. They ambush people unlike Runners or Clickers. They are appear more in Part 2.

[sylvananas]

I hope the Bloaters will keep their status of "If you see one you run' because these things can only be dispatched I'd say with LOTS of fire or a gigantic ammount of firepower only pre outbreak millitary had

[connordougherty]

Stalkers are the ones that scare me the most. I hate them but they’re also some of the best parts of the games; specifically in part 2

[nicholasgarrick]

I think the shambler is a version of a bloater that evolved in wet areas.

[connordougherty]

And then we got Shamblers! Pretty much a bloater but instead of throwing spores at you it explodes spores from its body. Most likely a mutation from the wet climate of Seattle (Spoiler alert: Seattle has been bombed to kingdom come and now has a river running through the city)

[Dylonspitfire]

"They tend to stick together when attacking due to them usually attacking in a group"

Sweet, got it lol

[umsrum]

I just had a thought that a person could wear a costume that gives them a Square or rectangle shape to avoid clickers

[LucidLivingYT]

The bloater is so weird to me. Its way of killing seems so counterintuitive to the goals of the fungus? Just rip someone's head off so they can't be a vector of infection?

[scottgardener]

I am hopeful that the show will focus more on the conflict with cordyceps zombies rather than going the Walking Dead route and focusing mostly on dysfunctional remnant human societies.

[CJShopland_Art]

The added details of the fungus out of the mouths really brought them to life. I’ve begun to replay the game for the 6th or so time 😊

[ivangaspar]

Bloaters ain’t zombies. They’re officially monsters

[aninjaguardian]

Aside from the germination stage where infected find a corner to die and spread spores, there's really only 4 main stages. But it's possible to have variations and mutations based on environment

So there's runners, stalkers, clickers. If the infected is not exceptional, they find a place to die and germinate. If not, they may become shamblers or bloaters. Then there are special circumstances like the rat king.

[nicholasgarrick]

The 7th stage reminds me of the alien fungus Kane turns into from annihilation.

[nicholasgarrick]

Great vid amazing content, and very educational about the infected mutant cordyceps, and the difference type 👏🏾👏🏾.

[chadj.harwood]

I love how he uses the same scenes over and over and over.
