Guide des débutants d'origine de l'infestation

Infestation: Origins is an indie survival horror game where you need to take down Steamboat Willie among other creatures. Since you don't get too much of a tutorial, you may be looking for some helpful tips to get started.

Things to know before starting Infestation Origins

The basic cycle through indie horror games usually takes a while to complete, and Infestation: Originas is no different. Here are each of the steps to get yourself a completed contract.

• Select a loadout. Change weapons, outfits, and traps.
• Select a contract.
• Once inside the contract, you will collect keycards to get into new locations.
• Each new location needs to be cleaned out of enemies and spawn points
• Find a fuse and put it into the fuse box for the area you just cleaned out.
• Find another keycard for that area.
• Open up the maintenance room for that area.
• Use a crank on the pipes in the maintenance area to clean it out completely.
• Repeat those steps for all the areas.
• As soon as you begin to unlock later levels, it will release Willie into the map, and he will chase you. Opening the Common Room in level 1 will release Willie.
• Once all the areas are clear, you will be able to get rid of Willie and finish the contract.

In the Willie level, the first four keycards always appear in the same four spots. They will always be the same four keys in the same spots, but all the remaining keys will have randomized locations.

• The first key will always be in the Control Room on the desk with all the fuel canisters. This is the main A Keycard.
• The keycard to get into B is on a cart in room A. If you go inside the room, it will be on the right side.
• The keycard to the utility room A will be right inside section B on the floor to the left.
• The keycard to the Common room will be in the utility room A in the very center of the room.

Holding objects and using them

You can hold up to three different kinds of objects at a time. You have room for one medkit, one extra fuel canister, and one fuse or crank. You can also hold as many keys as you want at a time.

• Medkits are automatically used.
• You can hold more than one keycard, but keycards are only used once.
• When putting fuses in, make sure to aim for the right room, or else you might waste it. It won't automatically go into the spot of the room you just cleared.
• You can only hold one crank or one fuse at a time.

How to kill bosses

You cannot kill Willie or the Moth Man without clearing all the areas first, but you can chase them off. The best way to chase them off is to use your weapon; most traps don't work as well as just firing a weapon at them to get them off your back.

Fastest way to earn money in Infestation: Origins

There isn't really a fast way to earn money in Infestation: Origins. The only thing you can do to get coin is to complete contracts. You don't get partial money for half completing contracts, so make sure you make the contract easy enough that you can complete it . I would not recommend taking yellow or red contracts until you are able to buy some upgrades for your weapon. Contracts have five different metrics, and each metric can have a level of one to five (one being the easiest while five is the highest.

• Pest Health: Non-boss enemies' health bar size.
• Respawn Rate: How fast non-boss enemies respawn in nests.
• Nest Quantity: How many nests there are for pests to respawn in.
• Pest Speed: How fast the enemies move around the map.
• Nest Growth: How difficult it is to break the nests with your weapons.

The easiest of all the contracts will have a green label on them, and they will get you around $270. There are also orange contracts that medium difficulty, then hard contracts are red. The highest difficulty red contracts can pull in almost $600 for Willie's level.
