Hiders

Camouflaged creatures that blend into the walls — listen for heavy breathing to find them.

⚠ How to spot it: Creatures that blend into walls, curtains and windows; heavy breathing is the biggest audio clue.
✔ How to respond: Keep your distance or eliminate them.

Overview

Hiders camouflage against walls, curtains and windows, making them almost invisible if you rely on sight alone. They are built to ambush players who move through rooms on autopilot.

Their tell is audio, not visual. Listen for heavy breathing nearby — that sound is the clearest sign a Hider is tucked into the scenery close to you, even when you cannot see it.

When you hear that breathing, slow down. Keep your distance while you locate it, or eliminate the Hider with a weapon before it can surprise you.
