A race against the cure is what Plague, Inc. is about.The research for the cure will begin as soon as you start your virus.This means that a lot of your efforts will be directed towards slowing down the cure.The brutal mode makes it difficult, but with the right strategy you should be able to beat it.
Step 1: Pick your genes.
You will be able to upgrade your virus when you start the game.The choice you make here will affect how the game plays out.You should pick one of the suggested upgrades to make this game easier.It is necessary for the cure to be slowed down because of the extra DNA points at the beginning.Travel Gene is related to Aquacyte.It's necessary toinfecting difficult islands like New Zealand.The Evolution Gene is related to Stasis.Symptom costs will be kept low by this.A genetic trait.The cure progression is slowed because the search for the cure starts immediately.The Environment Gene is Extremophile.The rate of infections increases in every environment.
Step 2: Purchase some initial upgrades.
You can use your bonus to purchase a few upgrades.The cure will be mitigated by these, and will make your life easier later in the game.This will help slow down the cure.Insomnia Paranoia is caused by coughing cysts.
Step 3: Pick a starting country.
How quickly the virus starts spreading is determined by your starting country.Most guides recommend starting in India due to its large population and close proximity to China.Work on the cure will begin when you choose a country.
Step 4: It is essential to evolve essential upgrades.
At the beginning of the game, priority should be given to certain upgrades to give you a better chance later on.Code segment intercepting Nausea Vomiting Drug Resistance 1 Genetic Hardening 1 and 2 are the upgrades that you should evolve as soon as you can afford them.
Step 5: Don't deal with sterilizing.
If you receive pop-ups telling you that planes or ships have been sterized, you should evolve Air 1 immediately.Water 1 will evolve if ships are sterile.
Step 6: Slow down the cure.
Slowing down the progression of the cure is one of your next upgrades.The cure is more difficult due to Hyper-sensitivity Paralysis Coma Seizures Insanity.
Step 7: The infection rate should be increased.
The upgraded virus is harder to kill and is more likely to spread.Water, Air, Extreme bioaerosol Drug Resistance, and Cold Resistance are radical elements.
Step 8: There are more symptoms to evolve.
The time has come for you to evolve some more symptoms.Pneumonia Sneezing Sweating Anemia Hemophilia Skin Lesions Diarrhea will increase the rate of global infections.
Step 9: Your virus should be strengthened.
The cure progress should be decreased by focusing on a couple more upgrades.These are not available until late in the game.
Step 10: You can use the factory overload.
This ability can increase the spread of your virus if every country in the world isinfecting it.The downside is that after a short time, the infectivity will decrease to lower than its original value, so only use it after all countries are affected.
Step 11: Random symptoms can be devolved.
Your virus will change frequently.If you don't devolve these symptoms as they appear, they can start killing people before the infection spreads to everyone.
Step 12: It's time to change your genes.
Towards the end of the game, you will be racing against the cure.When you don't have much else to evolve, the Genetic Reshuffle ability is a good investment.The cure can be set back by any of the three levels.
Step 13: Once everyone is sick, evolve every symptom.
Every person in the world will receive a pop-up message.You don't have to worry about infecting new people as you're safe to evolve every lethal symptom at this point.The faster you can kill everyone, the better.
