How to Survive Infected Monkeys in Afraid Monkeys
Infected monkeys kill unprepared players within seconds. Survival is not about fighting — it is about information, zone boundaries, and credit-efficient gear. This guide teaches how to protect yourself from Chainsaw Hands, shadow entities, Slender, and general infected patrols across every level.
Survival Mindset
Treat every corridor as hostile until Radar clears it. Credits matter more than carried scrap — bank at recyclers before risky keycard grabs. Death is a learning tax, not failure.
Radar Is Survival
Fifty credits for Radar prevents ninety percent of surprise deaths. Save for Radar before cosmetics or duplicate grenades. Farm route: Level 1 scrap loop.
Zone Boundary Escapes
Infected monkeys stop at sector edges. When chased, sprint toward last known safe junction or lobby pipe direction — not deeper into enemy territory. Documented on infected behavior page.
Enemy-Specific Tips
Chainsaw Hands: audio cue + instant kill — wide detours only. Slender: doorframe breaks on Level 2. Shadows: slow peeks in dark halls. Crawlers: watch floor in storage.
Team Survival
Run in pairs — one watches Radar while other grabs scrap. Bait players draw aggro from keycard runners. Communicate door opens to prevent trapping allies with Chainsaw Hands.
Emergency Gear
Carry one molotov for parking garage keycard grabs. Grenades for Level 1 panic only. Read beginner guide for economy order.
Sound discipline matters — infected respond to player clusters. Split up during keycard handoffs so one death does not wipe an entire squad's carried scrap at the recycler doorstep.
