Introduction

Beast powers are the small selection screen before each round that quietly decides how you hunt. In the current game you choose one of four powers — Runner, Stalker, Seer or Hacker — and that choice shapes your patrol style, your chase speed and your ability to disrupt the Survivors' plan. Runner is the aggressive pick, trading raw mobility for faster gap-closing in chases. Stalker and Seer both improve your information game: Stalker sharpens your ability to detect hidden Survivors, while Seer reveals positions outright so you can plan patrols instead of wandering. Hacker takes the fight to the objective by disrupting computer progress and stalling the escape. Developer teasers for 2026 point to two more powers — Teleportation and No Hit Cooldown — that would let the Beast bypass parkour loops and swing faster against clustered Survivors. Because you only get one power per round, knowing which one fits your playstyle — and which map you are voting for — is a real strategic layer on top of the chase mechanics.

Power Roster

Runner

The classic chase power — a burst of speed that closes the gap when Survivors break away.

How It WorksRunner grants a burst of speed that lets you catch up to a Survivor who is sprinting through open ground or recovering from a window vault.

Best MapOpen layouts like Airport, where chases happen across long sightlines and raw speed decides the outcome.

Counter StrategySurvivors counter Runner with vents and windows, so you need to cut off those escapes rather than chase straight.

Pro TipSave the burst for the moment a Survivor commits to a long straightaway — using it early lets them recover in a loop.

Stalker

The hunter's power — improved detection that roots Survivors out of their hiding spots.

How It WorksStalker extends your detection range or highlights hidden Survivors, making cabinets, cell nooks and fog corners much less safe.

Best MapDense maps like Abandoned Prison and Backrooms, where stealth is the Survivors' strongest tool.

Counter StrategySurvivors can counter Stalker by staying on the move — the power reveals hiding, not movement, so active players slip through.

Pro TipUse Stalker to sweep a computer wing before you patrol it; a quiet sweep tells you exactly where the lobby is not.

Seer

The strategist's power — a map-wide glance at Survivor positions for planned patrols.

How It WorksSeer reveals Survivor positions on the map, giving you a snapshot of where the lobby is hacking so you can route your patrol to the busiest terminal.

Best MapLarge multi-floor maps like Library and Shopping Center, where knowing which floor to check saves minutes.

Counter StrategySurvivors can bait Seer by clustering at one computer while the real hack happens elsewhere — treat reveals as a lead, not gospel.

Pro TipActivate Seer right after a survivor escapes a chase — the reveal catches the rest of the lobby mid-reposition.

Hacker

The saboteur's power — disrupt the computers the Survivors need to escape.

How It WorksHacker disrupts computer progress, stalling or resetting hacks and stretching the time the Survivors need to open the exits.

Best MapAny map where the lobby is about to hit the final computer — the disruption lands exactly when the escape is closest.

Counter StrategySurvivors counter Hacker by spreading out and hacking multiple terminals, so one disruption cannot stall the whole lobby.

Pro TipHold Hacker for the last computer — stalling the final hack while you chase the remaining Survivor is the round-winning play.

Teleportation

new

A 2026 teaser power that would let the Beast bypass parkour loops entirely (community info).

How It WorksTeased as a map mobility tool, Teleportation would let the Beast appear at a chosen location, removing the Survivors' window-vault advantage.

Best MapMulti-floor maps where chases are won by vertical shortcuts — Library and Shopping Center would benefit most.

Counter StrategySurvivors would need to keep moving unpredictably — a teleport reads the chase perfectly only if the target stays predictable.

Pro TipSave the teleport for the moment a Survivor commits to a long window run — the landing frame is the perfect intercept.

Core Mechanics

Beast powers sit on top of the standard Beast loop rather than replacing it. You choose one power before the round starts, and it stays active for the whole match, so the choice is a commitment — there is no mid-round switching. Each power changes a different axis of the game. Runner modifies movement: a burst of speed that helps you close gaps that Survivors create with parkour. Stalker modifies detection: it extends how well you can sense hidden Survivors, attacking the stealth layer directly. Seer modifies information: a snapshot of Survivor positions that lets you plan patrols with purpose. Hacker modifies the objective: it disrupts computer progress, attacking the thing the Survivors actually need to win. The community notes that power balance is a moving target — A.W. Apps regularly adjusts cooldowns and durations, and the 2026 teasers for Teleportation and No Hit Cooldown suggest the role is still evolving. Because you only get one pick, matching the power to both the map and your patrol style is the real skill behind the selection screen.

Advantages

The power system adds a meaningful layer of choice to the Beast role without overcomplicating it. Because the pick happens before the round, it rewards preparation: a Beast who knows the map vote and the lobby's tendencies can pre-emptively counter the likely strategy. The four current powers cover distinct playstyles, so there is a viable option for everyone — aggressive chasers take Runner, patient hunters take Stalker, strategists take Seer, and objective-deniers take Hacker. The powers also extend the game's variety: the same facility can play completely differently depending on which Beast power is active, which keeps even familiar maps fresh. And with new powers teased for 2026, the system has a clear growth path that will keep the meta evolving.

Challenges

The power system's biggest weakness is that you commit before the round and cannot adapt. Pick Seer on a map where the lobby instantly spreads out, and your reveal becomes a wasted tool; pick Runner in a dense maze and the burst does little against window loops. Power details are also community-sourced rather than officially published — cooldown numbers, durations and even the exact effect of the newer powers can be imprecise, and the 2026 teasers are explicitly unconfirmed. Finally, no power fixes bad fundamentals: a Beast who cannot land hammer hits or patrol efficiently will lose with any power, and players who lean too hard on a single pick often find their favorite power nerfed in the next patch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Beast power should I choose first?+

Start with Runner. It is the most forgiving power to learn because it directly strengthens the core chase loop — when you chase a Survivor, you are faster, and that translates into more first hits, more downs and more frozen Survivors. Once you have internalized patrol routes and chase fundamentals, experiment with Seer to see how information changes your map control, then try Stalker on dense maps where hiding is the lobby's go-to defense. Save Hacker for lobbies that clearly push the final computer hard.

Can I change my Beast power during a round?+

No — the power is chosen before the round starts and locked for the whole match. This is why the selection matters: a wrong pick cannot be corrected mid-round. The trade-off is deliberate, forcing the Beast to commit to a hunting style and play around it. If you want to test a different power, finish the round and pick it in the next one, or use private servers to practice a single power without the pressure of a live lobby.

Are the 2026 Beast powers real?+

Teleportation and No Hit Cooldown are teasers that the community has been discussing for 2026, based on developer hints rather than a fully confirmed release. Treat them as upcoming possibilities, not live features. When they ship, their cooldowns, durations and exact effects will likely be adjusted by balance patches, so the best source of truth will be the official changelog on the DevForum and in-game testing — which is also why our power tables mark them clearly as teasers rather than current options.

Do Beast powers work differently on each map?+

Yes, and map choice should inform your power pick. Open maps like Airport amplify Runner because chases happen across long sightlines. Dense maps like Abandoned Prison and Backrooms make Stalker valuable because hiding is the dominant Survivor strategy. Multi-floor maps like Library and Shopping Center favor Seer, since knowing which floor to patrol saves the most time. Hacker is the most map-agnostic — it disrupts the objective everywhere — but it shines most on maps where the lobby tends to cluster at the final computer.

Quick Tips

💡

Pick your power with the map vote in mind. The vote result tells you the layout you will hunt on, and each power has a map where it overperforms. Checking the vote for ten seconds before you lock in is free value — do not waste it.

💡

Learn one power deeply before trying the next. Switching powers every round means you never learn how any single one should feel. Commit to Runner for a week of rounds, then move to Seer — the fundamentals transfer and the comparisons become obvious.

💡

Treat power cooldowns like a resource. Using Runner's burst the moment you see a Survivor wastes it; holding it for the window-vault landing frame converts the same power into a guaranteed down. Discipline beats frequency.

💡

Watch the changelog for balance patches. A.W. Apps tweaks cooldowns and durations regularly, and a power that felt weak last month can become meta after a buff. The updates page tracks these changes so you are not practicing an outdated pick.
