As a kid, I always wanted a zombie survival game set in a small town, perhaps even my hometown, where I could fortify a residential house and live out the end of days. Too few games offer such an experience, though. Infection Free Zone comes closest with its real-world maps, allowing you to play in seemingly any city. These are the best cities to start in in Infection Free Zone!
Best Cities in Infection Free Zone
You have the world at your fingertips, with the ability to select major cities and small towns from across the globe. Choosing the best cities in Infection Free Zone proves rather challenging. The following recommendations offer a mixture of unique settings and challenging gameplay potential:
- New Orleans, USA

Recommended Cities in Infection Free Zone

Suppose you’re not feeling very creative or can’t pinpoint a specific city on the map; worry not. The game recommends a handful of ideal starting locations to help you learn the game. Now, some of these maps prove more challenging than others. For instance, if you start in a large city, the undead population grows exponentially. It’s more difficult and frantic in the early game.
These are the recommended cities in Infection Free Zone:
- Crofton, USA
- Dijon, France
- Cambridge, UK
- Templin, Germany
- Jinhua, China
- Taizhou, China
- Peschiera, Italy
- Atlanta, USA
- Oakland, USA
- Ruciane, Poland
- Guangzhou, China
I found Atlanta and Oakland, both major cities in the USA, to be some of the more challenging experiences overall. The same goes for Guangzhou. The pre-apocalypse population in all three cities is mindblowing, so imagine the zombie apocalypse!
For an easier time learning the game’s mechanics, I recommend picking Peschiera, Italy. You start on a small island with only a handful of bridges leading to your HQ, meaning you can blockade the area relatively quickly and easily. But don’t grow complacent because the zombies can swim. Otherwise, it’s fantastic for a long-term community!
