Infected in Atlas?

Sadly I didn't think until it was too late to get a screeny, but on a new toon with a buddy we encountered a brace of Infected, a Blighted and Stricken Scavenger.

This was significant because it was in Atlas Park, down by the warehouses near the Perez Park entrance. I've never sene it before and it looks like it was just the two... but there are serious ramifications to this... are the Heroes losing the fight? Has Arachnos gotten the formula into Atlas and turning people into Infected?

Is it simply a bug? I can't see how it could be. Had a scoot around and couldn't see any more... but it's worrying.

This.

There are a few Infected in Atlas, (and Galaxy according to Wiki) and they do not count towards Isolator, which is for killing Contaminated, a similar, yet different group. The foes you see on Mercy Isle are also Infected, not Contaminated.

I noticed this for the first time last weekend, as well



Thank you, Champion.

Infected have spawned in both Atlas Park and Galaxy City since at least August, 2007, when I first started looking at updating VidiotMaps. They're only in a couple neighborhoods, and probably only spawn at night, which is why they're not noticed much.

Of course, that is pretty much a nonissue nowadays. Heroes can take down all the Contaminated they need during the Ouroboros Initiation to get Isolator. And Villains simply can't get Isolator no matter how many times they take down the one Contaminated in RV anyway.

I've seen them in the southwest corner of Atlas in daytime as well.

They came in with the Longbow in the mini-revamp of Issue 8.

Yes, but if they spawn at night, they can stay spawned and still be present during day cycle (this can be seen with other "night spawn only" enemies, such as Vampyri in Striga).
