Story[]
One NAKA chemical missile is launched from a Red Star Federation missile silo in Federal Russia in weaken the German Resistance. However, all NAKA missiles are launched to various hotspots across Eurasia. The Red Star Federation forces in Berlin after the missile struck report that most of their own men were killed but "reanimated" into rage-filled Infected.
Files within the Red Star Federation reveal that Nazi Germany found an element known as Element 115—but did not know what it did when exposed to humans—and used it in the NAKA Chemical Missiles, hoping to turn the tide of war against the Resistance in the Federation civil wars.
However, the Element then reanimates those exposed into Infected soldiers, causing the world to fall to a state of an "end of days" for everyone, including the Red Star Federation.
