Infected (often referred to by players as zombies) are the enemies of the game. There are many different types of zombies in Dead Maze, including some special zombie types with unique mechanics.
Super zombies[]
Loot bag
Supercharged skull
All infected, can also get supercharged when they die (except Peruvians and bosses), which is shown by them growing in size with floating skulls around them. Their loot bag given is better than normal zombies, represented by its yellow glowing light. These infected, have all their stats increase (especially HP). This can be especially deadly on more dangerous mobs, so even when you think you're safe always leave a way out of your current situation. When a supercharged themed infected dies, it has a chance of dropping a clothing item from its clothing set. They are also known as mini bosses or big X variant (for ex.: big Farmer, big Catapulter)
Running[]
When zombies see players, they will get alert and may run towards them. The chance for a zombie to run is dictated as such: ZombieLVL/100 + StratActive/10 + ThreatLVL/20.[1]
Level / Difficulty[]
Infected also have levels that are shown by a little circle next to their name, with the color corresponding to quality colors every 5 levels (with rarer = harder, and legendary being the hardest type). The hardest infected are generally found in secret passages. Damage also goes up 10% every 5 levels. The higher level, the more experience they give after killing them. Also if they drop loot bags there are rarer and better items. [Confirm]

Themed Infected[]
"Of course, getting rid of one of them will allow you to pick up particular items, such as firearms on Military Infected or fish on a Fisher Infected! Moreover, it is possible that one of them spreads its theme like an infection, contaminating the nearest objects’ containers. So, find out which ones might hold the resources you are interested in and look for the places where you are most likely to find them."[3]
