Unsure if bug or feature but I've noticed infected respond differently to being hit at long distances with an arrow (approx 50m).
- Sometimes they show the hit animation then continue as normal.
- Sometimes they turn and run in your direction then stop along their path and begin roaming again.
- Other times they run until they get to you.
I would have thought the first instance would be intended as the infected would not have heard the direction of their attacker.
