Reduce the Distance

Jaeger — briefing

Come on in. How long do you think this will last? Anyway, our job is to survive for as long as we can. Take as many of the infected with us as we can if we can't cure them. As long as we still have ammunition. What happens when we're out of firepower? That's right. It's either us or them. A lot of people have already died with no ammo, left with only a knife against crowds of infected. But my point is, even they have a weakness, we just need to find it. Can you help with that? I can't trust anyone else to do this, they'll get themselves killed for nothing. Study their tactics and find a way to defeat the infected in close combat. There's a lot of them near the Ultra shopping mall now, so go there.

Objectives

Eliminate 20 infected while using melee weapons on Interchange

Tactical notes

The whole task stays on one map: Interchange.
There is a weapon condition: a kill with anything else will not count, finishing shots included.
20 targets to rack up — that is several raids, not one evening.

On completion

Jaeger: I wasn't sure you'd come back. But now that you're here, I know we can win even a hand-to-hand fight with them. Now get some rest and double-check all your cuts and scrapes. I'd rather get bit by a viper than let that virus get into my bloodstream.
