    1. Undercover Tank

    Description:

    You are not visible to survivors until you receive damage as a Tank.

    Positives
    + You are 100% invisible and cannot be seen by survivors

    Negatives
    - The buff effect disappears if you are damaged at any time throughout the tank fight, the invisibility won't regenerate.
    - An overall less useful buff when you have better general infected buffs to go about depending on how you wish to fight as a tank.

    Explanation:
    The Undercover Tank makes you completely invisible to survivors and won't be able to be revealed until you receive damage. If the buff effect disappears if you are damaged at any time throughout the tank fight, you cannot regenerate it. An overall less useful buff otherwise when you would have better and more useful general infected buffs to consider, depending on your tank play style.

    Explanation:
    Look at you, you must be all wet from the rain! The Wet Skin Buff makes the tank immune to fire damage.
