Launched on October 24, 2008, this section shows a map of the world on how many local players are infected by a "zombie virus".


The "virus" in question is actually the act of killing of a Rockstar staff in multiplayer or the association with a normal player who has killed a Rockstar staff; any player who has killed the aforementioned people will be "infected", thereby gaining a male zombie avatar dressed in nothing but a yellow Rockstar speedo and sandals. Because of the requirement to play multiplayer in order to be infected, not all GTA IV players will be represented on the map.
