Inside Job Overview

One player is spawned with a bio-chemical syringe. Any player stabbed becomes infected and joins the hunting team. Uninfected survivors win if at least one player survives the 60-second timer.

v2.0 Movement Balance

Following community feedback in patch v2.0, infected players receive a 1.15x speed multiplier, eliminating endless circular kiting around large obstacles.
