Survivor abilities are the small decisions that keep a round from becoming a very short horror film. Collect blueprints, buy the unlocked ability with Piggy Tokens, and equip a kit that matches the map and your team.
How to use this collection
A player collects eight blueprints for an ability, buys it with Piggy Tokens, and can equip up to three abilities. Activating one spends energy from the round's bar. The same bar is used by Piggy traps, so Traitor mode replaces survivor abilities with traps for the traitor.

Unlock and equip abilities
Blueprints appear across Piggy maps. Once an ability's blueprint progress is complete, you can buy it with Piggy Tokens and equip up to three abilities for a round.
Energy is shared across the round, so a fast Sprint, a team scan, and a late Decoy are three different plans, not three free buttons. Check the energy cost and duration before you build a kit around a flashy effect.
Match the kit to the problem
Use scouting abilities when the team is still learning item routes. Team abilities help a coordinated lobby move faster, while Camouflage, Decoy, Warp, and Immunity are more personal answers to a dangerous chase. Some modes and extra chapters disable abilities, so read the live mode rules before blaming the button.
FAQ
How many abilities can I equip?
You can equip up to three survivor abilities before a round.
How do I unlock a survivor ability?
Collect its blueprint progress first, then buy the completed ability with Piggy Tokens.
Do abilities work in every Piggy mode?
No. Tag, some extra chapters, event chapters, and special boss situations can disable abilities. Check the mode before relying on one.
What is a good first ability?
Sprint is the simplest starter tool because it gives a direct speed burst. Magnifying Glass is a useful next choice when item routes are still unfamiliar.
