Last verified . Multiplier and trigger come from this site's mutation dataset — we do not invent extra rates.
Ranked #21 of 108 tracked mutation pages by multiplier.
📌 When to use Infected
Infected is event-gated. When the event is live, the trigger on this page is the condition we have in data.
📐 How to Get the Infected Mutation
Trigger (from our mutation data): During Jandel Zombie.
Event mutations depend on admin-triggered sessions, not the 5-minute shop cycle. When the event is live, the trigger above is the condition we have verified.
💰 Worked Examples: Infected on a Sunflower
Numbers use the site formula Base × (Weight/BaseWeight)² × Growth × (1 + Σmutations − count) and Sunflower's listed base. Plug a live crop into the Grow a Garden calculator for other weights.
🔗 Stacking & Best Combos
Once Infected is on a fruit it follows the additive rule with other non-growth mutations: 1 + Σ(multipliers) − count. Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) then multiplies that total. Cleaning Spray (Gear Shop, listed on stock) can strip mutations if you need to rebuild a fusion.

❓ FAQ
Does Infected use the homepage calculator formula?
Yes. Infected is a fruit modifier at ×75, not a crop and not a pet. Plug it into the Grow a Garden calculator with a real kg. This FAQ does not repeat the intro paragraph.
How do you get the Infected mutation?
During Jandel Zombie.
Does Infected stack with Gold or Rainbow?
Yes. Infected is not a growth mutation, so Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) can multiply it. With other environmental mutations it uses 1 + Σ − count first, then growth.
What crop should I put Infected on?
Any crop uses the same multiplier. Worked examples on this page use Sunflower (50,138₡ at 8.55 kg) because that crop is also the Dawnbound reference. Weight² usually moves the number more than swapping a mid-tier crop.
Plug Infected into any crop, weight, and mutation stack for the real number.
