The Locust Guide: Spawn, Energy, Controls and Abilities
Current exact-game recordings show the Locust emerging through a television sequence, chasing with a limited energy or sprint state, slowing after sustained movement, and navigating vertical or low-clearance terrain. Those behaviors are community-observed, not a creator-published ability sheet. Follow the live HUD for attacks, special actions, cooldowns, and platform controls.

Quick facts
What you can use right now
Each row separates a current answer from the evidence that supports it.
Energy / sprintCommunity reported
Sustained speed appears limited
Recordings show a slowdown pattern; exact meter size and recovery timing are unverified.
Vertical movementCommunity reported
Climbing observed
Do not treat every high ledge as safe without checking the current map collision.
Low passagesCommunity reported
Crawling reported
A low gap is not automatically a survivor-only route.

Mechanic matrix
Use the current observation without inventing the hidden values
Each row separates a visible behavior from the timing, range, or platform data that still needs a reproducible current-build test.

TV emergenceCommunity reported | Visible in current exact-game recordings | Fixed TV, map, and spawn-selection rules |
Energy / speedCommunity reported | Slowdown follows sustained movement in recordings | Capacity, drain, recovery, and exact speed |

Current role loop
Use the HUD and energy state before committing to a chase
- 01
Confirm the role transition
Community reportedWait for the role screen, television sequence, character morph, and hostile HUD to finish loading before testing an action.
- 02
Spend speed to close a useful gap
Use the visible energy or sprint state for a corner, staircase, or interception—not an endless straight chase. Slowdown and recovery need current-server observation.
- 03
Check height and clearance
Current recordings indicate climbing and low movement options. Test the visible route rather than assuming a ledge or crawlspace is blocked.
- 04
Use the displayed attack
Follow the current action label and target feedback. Exact range, damage, hitbox, cooldown, and special effects are not published.
04
Survivor counterplay
Make the Locust spend time, energy, and sight lines
- 01
Break sight before hiding
Use a solid corner or floor change before relying on a hiding interaction. A visible hiding spot is not guaranteed protection.
- 02
Avoid long straight races
Change direction around usable geometry and keep a second route. Current recordings suggest straight pursuit favors the Locust.
- 03
Recheck high and low routes
Community reportedClimbing and crawling reports mean elevation or clearance alone does not make a permanent safe spot.
Troubleshooting
When the current interface does not match the guide
Check the full The Locust Guide: Spawn, Energy, Controls and Abilities state before rejoining, repurchasing, or turning one server into a permanent rule.
| Problem | Check | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| The attack does not fire | Completed morph, round state, target distance, current action label, cooldown, and menu focus | Move to open space, try the visible action once, then record the platform and full HUD before rejoining. |
| The Locust suddenly slows | Visible energy or sprint state and how long sustained movement was used | Stop treating the chase as unlimited sprint; recover while cutting off a route and recheck the current meter. |
| A mobile control is missing | Role transition, screen safe area, orientation, overlays, and whether other hostile actions loaded | Capture the whole screen and test a fresh server once; do not substitute a PC key as the mobile answer. |
FAQ
Common The Locust Guide: Spawn, Energy, Controls and Abilities questions
Where does the Locust spawn?
Current recordings show a television emergence sequence. The exact map, television, and spawn-selection rules are not creator-published and may change.
Why does the Locust slow down?
Recordings show slowdown after sustained movement consistent with an energy or sprint limit. Exact depletion and recovery values remain unverified.
Can the Locust climb?
Climbing appears in current community recordings, so survivors should not treat height alone as permanent safety.
Can the Locust crawl through small spaces?
Low-clearance movement is community-reported. Test the current route and keep another exit instead of assuming a small gap blocks the Locust.
