Infected missions

2013 Missions
The 2.3 Patch introduced a set of new missions related to the new units and game mechanics introduced with the patch. Some missions reward the rare Black Nanopod, of which can also be obtained as random battle rewards in the encounters against enemy infected units. The zombie-themed Decorations will attract Infected encounters, supposedly increasing the encounter rate and thus more opportunities to collect.

The name of the missions all reference popular titles from the "zombie" genre.
