Beast powers change how the Beast chases Survivors. Runner focuses on mobility, Stalker hides familiar warning signals, and Seer pressures Survivors to hide before revealing those left exposed.

Choosing a Beast power
Choose a power before entering the map, then activate it through the in-game Beast power control. Runner suits a direct chase, Stalker rewards quiet pressure, and Seer helps punish Survivors who stay visible.
How the playstyles differ
- Runner: Focuses on closing distance and changes the Beast's movement behavior while active. The Beast cannot jump during use, so plan routes around the map rather than relying on vertical shortcuts.
- Stalker: Suppresses the Beast's heartbeat, footsteps, and gemstone glow, making the usual warning signals less reliable. Its movement and door-opening behavior also change while active.
- Seer: Warns Survivors to hide, then reveals those who remain exposed. Direct sight of a Survivor can help the Beast keep pressure during the chase.
Survivor responses
Against Runner, create distance early and use corners before the Beast reaches you. Against Stalker, watch sightlines and doors instead of waiting for the usual sound or glow cues. Against Seer, hide as soon as the warning appears, because staying visible can give away your position.
FAQ
What does Runner focus on?
Runner is the mobility choice. It helps the Beast pressure distance and changes movement behavior while active, but the Beast cannot jump during use.
What makes Stalker different?
Stalker suppresses the Beast's heartbeat, footsteps, and gemstone glow. It also changes some movement, hitstun, and door-opening behavior while active.
How does Seer help the Beast?
Seer warns Survivors to hide and reveals those who remain exposed. Survivors who hide in supported hiding spots avoid the standard reveal.
Is Hacker a released Beast power?
