Events

There are different events that will be going on at different times. The two most frequent ones are Bounty Quests and Infestation Season. The Bounty Quest event comes on daily. The Infestation Season is every few days.

Bounty Quests
The Bounty Quest event earns you gems, aka Blood Stones. It is a pretty straightforward objective-prize list, with a bonus prize when all items are completed. The objectives are things like "Kill 100 zombies" or "Raid 5 player camps." If you go for the raiding (use the Map View to attack some camps), you will make progress on some of the other objectives as well.

The "Clear 10 zombies outside your base" is a little different. In Camp View, panning around, you can sometimes see zombies wandering around, or pounding on your gate, or eating one of the corpses. There will be 0-5 zombies. Never more than 5, though I have never seen 2 or 3 zombies either - always 1, 4 or 5. You have to kill 10 of those to meet this objective. Since there are never more than 5 at a time, you have to do this over a period of time. It can take several hours for another 5 zombies to come after you clear them out.

Like everything else in the game, you do have to come back and collect the Blood Stones; they are not payed out automatically when you complete the objective.

Infestation Season
The Infestation Season event is a little more interesting. It also is an objective-prize type list. The objectives are camp attacks, specifically tailored for, and accessed through, the event (you do not use the Map View to attack these camps.) The prizes are devices, varying in type and volume. There is also an overall completion prize, but the levels get harder quickly, so you can only complete all of them after you reach at least level 15.

What makes the Infestation Season camps interesting is that they are constant in difficulty. Level 1 Infestation Season will always be the same camp at the same difficulty. Level 4 will be a lot harder, but it also will stay constant in difficulty, etc. To complete the Infestation Season level, you have to clear the camp completely. See Raids. However, for the Bounty Quests (see above), and some of the other quests you may have, it is only necessary to win the attack, which means you have to take out the headquarters. So if the Zombie camps available in Map View are too hard, and Infestation Season is on, then you can attack the same Infestation Season camp repeatedly to finish the Bounty Quest objective.
