Basic CommandsBasic Commands
Basic commands matter before advanced hiding spots. Learn one map, one hider setup habit, one hunter sweep route, and the control patterns that explain why a disguise failed.
Hider guideHider Guide
Good hiders look natural before they look hidden. Choose a believable location, match brightness, use a pose that fits the geometry, and understand how a hunter will enter the room.
Hunter guideHunter Guide
Strong hunters win by slowing down, scanning shadows and corners, checking walls and ceilings, probing suspicious objects, coordinating with teammates, and learning which maps create the most believable hiding spots.
Paint guidePaint Guide
Paint works best after you choose a believable spot. Match brightness first, then hue, then texture feel, and finally pose so your outline belongs in the room.
