Step-by-step MM2 of The Locust guides — beginner tips, how to play, hiding spots, escape routes and survival strategies for the 1 vs All horror round.
Introduction
Guides are the heart of the MM2 of The Locust wiki — step-by-step walkthroughs that teach you how a round works, what your objective is as a survivor, and the survival tactics that keep you alive in the Locust's nest. Because the game is a 1 vs All horror survival title in the style of Murder Mystery 2, new players often struggle with the basics: how roles are assigned, where to hide, how to move between safe spots, and when to commit to an escape route. These guides break every system down into clear, actionable steps — from your very first round to advanced co-op strategies for group play. We also cover game settings, keybinds and performance tips so you can get the best experience on PC and mobile. Every guide is written with the pre-alpha version in mind and is updated as the developers change the mechanics, so you always have the current picture of how to survive the nest.

Core Mechanics
The core loop of MM2 of The Locust is a 1 vs All survival round. At the start, one player is randomly assigned the Locust killer and the rest become survivors. Survivors spawn across the nest and must hide, move and eventually reach an escape route before being caught. The Locust chases survivors down using speed and map knowledge, and can catch survivors who are out in the open. Survivors win by being the last one alive — either by outlasting the killer or by completing the final escape when every other survivor is down. The game supports up to 30 players per server, which makes each round chaotic and unpredictable. Because the game is in pre-alpha, the exact mechanics and map layouts change with each update, so guides focus on the stable fundamentals — hiding, movement, escape timing and team coordination — that carry over across versions.
Advantages
The guides section is the best place to start for any player because it turns the confusing pre-alpha experience into a clear learning path. Beginners get step-by-step instructions on how a round works, what roles mean and what to do first as a survivor, which removes the frustration of dying without knowing why. Intermediate players benefit from hiding spot maps, movement tips and escape route breakdowns that immediately improve survival rates. The co-op guides add another layer by explaining how to work with friends on private servers, which is where most players have the most fun. Because the game updates fast, the guides are written to focus on fundamentals that stay true across patches, giving readers durable knowledge instead of version-specific tricks that break the next week.
Challenges
The main weakness of guide content for MM2 of The Locust is that the game is still in pre-alpha, so mechanics, map layouts and even roles can change without notice. A guide written this week may be outdated by the next update, and readers can find themselves following advice that no longer matches the game. There is also very little official documentation — the developers have not published detailed patch notes or a manual, so much of the guide content is based on community testing and reports rather than confirmed developer information. Finally, because hiding spots and escape routes depend on the current map layout, general advice can only take you so far — the specifics change every time a new map is added, which means guides need frequent updates to stay accurate.

Quick Tips
Always watch the role reveal and memorize who the Locust is before you start moving. Knowing the killer's identity lets you plan your escape route, keep your distance and avoid the areas where the Locust patrols from the very start of the round, which gives you a huge survival advantage.
Never stay in the same hiding spot for the whole round. The Locust learns the common hiding places quickly and will check them systematically, so rotate between two or three spots and move only during quiet moments to stay unpredictable and hard to track. Following this habit consistently is one of the highest-value skills you can develop, because positioning and awareness decide most rounds in this game.
Keep a mental map of the escape routes on every layout. The fastest path to the exit is not always the safest, so memorize routes that balance cover and speed. This lets you commit to the final escape with confidence when you become the Last Survivor. Following this habit consistently is one of the highest-value skills you can develop, because positioning and awareness decide most rounds in this game.
