Necklace

Introduction

The Necklace is an item that is located near the spawn. When used, the player will put the necklace on, before collapsing and transferring into a Black Infected. It can be quite difficult to get to, due to most campers retaining a space near to it.

Strategy/ Uses

It is quite often used as an offensive weapon towards other players. One example is where the server will secure Fort Chad, only for a person with the Necklace to use it and cause havoc (we know who you are!) It can also be used to help the Infected.

Another tactic which was rather rare to see, was holding out the necklace to fool infected. Since the infected have their arms stick out a little bit; holding out the necklace has you do the exact same pose. Some have used this to pass by the infected unharmed. Though this tactic forces you to:

A. Have your character appear as an infected (have entirely black, white, blue, brown etc. body parts and accessories); and-

B. Be unseen by any infected when you first acquire the necklace.

As a result this tactic can be rather tricky to pull off. It can even be almost impossible when doing so around hordes.
