The Locust of MM2 MM2 of The Locust Guides Hub

MM2 of The Locust is already playable on Roblox. THE STALKERS OG shipped a Pre-Alpha Survival / 1 vs All experience in late July 2026; servers hold 30 players, and the visit count is in the tens of millions. You drop into one of the Locust’s nests, vote a darkened Murder Mystery 2-style interior, then either hide as a survivor or hunt as a player-controlled monster. This is not Nikilis’ Murder Mystery 2. The Locust look is inspired by DoctorNowhere. This hub is the index of every how-to on the wiki, so you open the right child page instead of guessing binds in a scream.

A round is online multiplayer from the lobby to the last death. There is no split-screen mode and no offline nest. You join a public server, wait with the rest of the 30-player cap, and take whatever role the round gives you unless you have already bought the Locust. Treat every page here as live Pre-Alpha advice: buttons move, items hitch, and a frozen monster is not a promise.

How a nest round is structured

Lobby first. Vote the map, open the shop if you have Keys, and glance at the Codes button in the top-right even though no codes are active as of September 2026. The expired Community! code once granted +100 Keys; future strings still redeem in that same panel. Details live on the codes hub and how to redeem.

When the round loads, the HUD tracks Keys on the side and Nights near the top. Nights reward living longer, not dying with a pocket of Keys. Some rounds ask survivors to collect about 30 keys scattered through rooms and lower floors. Other rounds are a clean hunt: stay unseen, complete nothing flashy, and do not gift the Locust a hallway kill. After a death, revive can cost resources. Buy it only if the round objective is still reachable.

The Locust is another player. Audio, crowd motion, and open doors feed that hunter. If you play this like classic MM2 gun-and-knife, you die in the first corridor. Read how to survive for chase habits and how to become the Locust before you spend 100 Robux on the role.

Pick a guide by the problem you have

Never opened the experience? Start with getting started. Confirm sprint, crouch, and push on controls while you are still in the lobby. If the same rooms keep killing you, skip to maps and hiding spots. If you have Keys and no plan, read items and equipment before a monster skin.

Between rounds, run the survival checklist. Rank gear on the equipment tier list, layouts on the map tier list, and lockers versus vents on the hiding-spot ranks. Role pages sit under players: the Locust and survivors.

Every guide on this hub

• Getting started — first join, lobby vote, HUD, shop peek, and a first-night order of operations.
• How to survive — sprint windows, line-of-sight breaks, hide timing, and when a taser or camera is worth the charge.
• How to escape — two-exit rooms, dead ends, revive tax, and why this is not House of The Locust.
• How to become the Locust — the 100 Robux unlock, hunt routes, Q special, cosmetics, and mobile attack pitfalls.
• Controls — Left Ctrl or E for sprint, C crouch, Q push or Locust special, plus Pre-Alpha UI bugs.
• Maps — darkened classic interiors, nest corridors, vents, underground rooms, and TVs that fire horror events.
• Items and equipment — Keys, shop spends, camera flash (about 10 seconds of paralyze), taser (about 5 seconds of shock).
• Hiding spots — lockers, vents, secret rooms, and why camping one locker fails against a human hunter.
• How to farm Keys — floor pickups, 30-key rounds, shop spends, and the empty September 2026 code list.
• TV horror events — screens as crowd bait, spawn beats, and when to leave the set.

Codes, patches, scripts, and links

Do not wait on a code to buy a camera. The shop spends Keys you pick up on the floor. When a new string drops, redeem it in the top-right Codes button, then come back here if the reward changes a loadout. Patch notes live in updates and the Pre-Alpha notes. Client automation belongs on scripts and how to use scripts; any executor can cost the account. Official destinations sit on links. The tier list hub is for ranking, not teaching; come back to this guides hub when you need the why behind a rank.

Pre-Alpha habits worth keeping

THE STALKERS OG is still iterating. Mobile attack buttons can be unclear. A taser can leave your inventory while you are not sure it landed. The monster can hitch or fail to swing. Do not stroll up to a stuck Locust; break line of sight and take a locker anyway. Camera flash and taser are the freeze windows we document: flash for about ten seconds, shock for about five, taser limited-use. Spend Keys on those tools before cosmetics.

Crowd behavior is a mechanic. Players gather on TVs, body-part props, and anything that looks like a secret. Those clumps are Locust food. If a group sprints toward a noise, you go the other way unless you are the hunter.

If you only open one child page after this hub, make it getting started for the first night, then how to survive and how to escape after the Locust has already eaten you twice.
