Time limit is usually included if the hunted are defenseless, providing them a victory condition. Either team eliminated usually means the hunted are armed but less powerful than the hunter.

This game mode does not have too well established name, but infected/infection is common because the hunter is usually a zombie, vampire, werewolf, or another that according to their respective mythos turns their targets to more of their own.
