Event: Halloween 2026 · 29 October 2026

Therapist — briefing

The situation is getting worse. Security measures across the city are being tightened, but shooting everyone who looks ill won't solve the problem. I need full samples of the mutated virus, and the only way to obtain them is from freshly killed infected. Head to the infected Factory or the Laboratory and eliminate as many carriers as possible. My people will collect the bodies afterwards and deliver the material for research. If all goes well, I'll give you the first vaccine prototypes. In the current situation, they'll be worth their weight in gold.

Objectives

• Eliminate 30 infected on Infected Factory or Infected Lab

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO GO: Infected Factory or Infected Lab — 30 infected, the count is shared.
• A Halloween 2026 event task: available while the event lasts.

On completion

Therapist: My people have already reported that they've started collecting the material. Excellent work, young man.
