Those infected will suffer influenza-like symptoms for up to three days after contracting the illness, and eventually succumb - after which they will then reanimate within an hour after death. Approximately a week into the Knox Event however, it mutates and an airborne strain develops, which then spreads much more rapidly after the incident at the exclusion zone border and the breach thereof. Initially the infection seemed to only spread via fluids - typically blood and saliva - and thus transmission rate was relatively low. The Knox Infection quickly spreads throughout the U.S.A, causing a breakdown of society, and even starts to spread across the ocean to Europe, Asia, and Africa despite the WHO's lockdown order on American flights. Something is released with the wave of the dead, as people begin showing symptoms of the infection without coming into contact with any infected. As a last resort, the military blew the bridges across the Ohio River, leaving those left in Louisville to fend for themselves. Within two days, the infection spread North to Louisville, KY, littering the streets in dead along the way. A photo from West Point is leaked out of the Exclusion Zone, with an image of a man covered in blood and bites, one arm missing, in a street crowded with dead.Īfter 8 days, shots and explosions occur at the border of the exclusion zone, catching the attention of infected civilians, leading to hundreds, maybe thousands breaking through the blockade. The response and lack of clarity from the United States government led to international leaders condemning America, with the UK premier criticizing the President’s “near lack of clarity”. The infection is known to spread through fluid-contact: being scratches and bites.įive days after the blockade went up, the WHO grounded all non-military or -medical international flights, which lead to mass panic throughout the nation and a disgruntled response from the President. At first, the government portrayed the outbreak to be flu-like, causing panic and confusion among the infected. The military quickly set up an 'exclusion zone' around Louisville before it managed to spread further, temporarily containing the outbreak. The exact date of the initial outbreak is unknown and estimated to be between July 2 and J(one week prior to the start of the game, on standard settings). There are several rumors about the origin, such as misfolded prions in the meat of Spiffo's, terrorist attack, bioweapons testing gone wrong, and God's punishment for the sins of Man.

Also DBD alters the lore of many non-DBD characters present in game (Like Heather from latest Silent Hill update in DBD) and they're 100% not canon to the main games.Very little is known about the origin of the disease, other than that its first known outbreak began in the state of Kentucky, U.S.A, with the largest outbreaks specifically in the city of Louisville, KY. One of the playable characters is Bill, which could tell us that he got into hell after his death, though I'm not sure if The Entity from DBD is hell. Real pain screams used - pretty obvious one, though I'm not sure if there's any support for that theory.īill is in Hell - there's a game called Dead by Daylight which allows you to play as survivors vs killers in afterlife. Meatwall - another concept of a special infected that never made it into the actual game. A lot of references overall between the games, but the important thing is that you take a blood sample of the patient 0 of the Green Flu, that's the point of the heist. In one of the campaigns you go to the No Mercy hostipal from Left 4 Dead. Payday crew caused L4D - one of my favourites. A lot of speculation rised that this might hint towards L4D 3.Ĭoach ex special forces - a rumor that he was in some sort of special forces prior to the pandemic and not a simple coach? It was a highly detailed port of a part of a L4D 2 map on Source 2 before it was released. Plantation Source 2 port - just google it. Green Flu is God's judgment - some kind of religious theory that this infection is God's punishment or something? Last Stand L4D port - the only map that wasn't ported from the original L4D IIRC.

Screamer - cut special infected that would've used. Survivors executed after L4D2 - I believe the military from the comic thinks that the original survivors are carriers of the green Flu, so maybe after L4D 2 survivors are executed because of the fear they might be carriers too? Not super sure about this. Like the tank is wrath and boomer is gluttony, you get the idea. Green Flu made in lab - IIRC it's just a theory that it was made in the labs, can't remember exactly what backs it up.ħ deadly sins - pretty obvious.
