Improved infection increases the chance that your bite and claw attacks will infect your target. All zombies can purchase the first three ranks of this skill. Improved Infection does NOT provide an absolute increase in your infection chance. Instead, it provides a relative bonus based on how many ranks of
Resist Infection your target has.
How it works
When you attack a human, your Improved Infection rank is compared against your target's Resist Infection rank. The infection chance is based on the difference between your rank and their rank as shown in the below table. If for instance your II Rank is 0 and your target's RI rank is 0, then there is a 1% infect chance. If your II is Rank 1 and their RI is Rank 0 then a +2% infect chance applies. See below for bonus details.

1 | +2% |
