MM2 of The Locust Beginner Guide

Your first goal in MM2 of The Locust is not to memorize every room. It is to understand what the current round expects from your role, find one safe movement loop, and leave the match knowing why you survived or failed. The official page describes an escape from the Locust’s nest and labels the game PRE-ALPHA, so routes and interfaces can change quickly.

Before the round starts

Use the lobby time to locate three things: the map-vote area, the path players take when a round begins, and any current control or equipment panel. Read visible prices and descriptions before selecting anything. A current community walkthrough shows map voting and monster-related options, but the selection method and costs may change between PRE-ALPHA builds.

If friends are joining, wait until everyone is in the same server before the transition. Roblox lists a 30-player maximum, not a guaranteed round size. Choose one short landmark vocabulary together—upper hall, lower room, courtyard, stairs—so warnings remain understandable during a chase.

Read your role before moving

The Roblox classification is 1 vs All. In practical terms, expect an uneven match with a monster side and a survivor side, but follow the exact role message shown in your client. If you are a survivor, your immediate priorities are orientation, objectives, and safe distance. If you control the Locust, your priorities are finding the current attack buttons and learning how the map connects.

Do not copy another player’s movement before you know why they are moving. They may be running toward an objective, fleeing the monster, testing a secret, or simply panicking. Check the threat direction and your own next exit first.

Build a safe survivor loop

From spawn, move through two or three connected landmarks and confirm that the final path returns toward the first or opens into a larger area. A loop gives you an alternative when the Locust blocks one direction. A narrow dead end can still hold a useful key or hiding place, but enter only when you know how much distance you have.

Search deliberately. Check visible tables, corners, side rooms, lower levels, and interactable objects while keeping the doorway in view. Current public coverage reports collectible keys, but no complete fixed spawn table is confirmed. If you find one, remember the nearest landmark and watch for a prompt, inventory change, or door response before assuming its purpose.

Survive the first chase

Run toward a planned turn instead of directly away forever. Solid corners, stairs, vents, windows, and connected rooms can break sight or change the chase angle when they are open in the current map. After the monster loses sight of you, continue to a second decision point before hiding. Stopping immediately behind the first corner makes your destination predictable.

Save defensive equipment for a moment that creates an escape. A current walkthrough shows a taser-like item, but exact range, duration, charges, and cooldown are not officially documented. Use the prompt in your game, aim only when the threat is close enough for the item to matter, then move rather than admiring the result.

Work with other survivors

Spread out enough to avoid one monster turn covering the whole group, but stay close enough to share information. One player can search an upper route while another checks a lower room. When someone finds an objective, protect their return path instead of crowding the pickup.

Call the monster’s location by landmark and direction. “Locust leaving stairs for lower hall” gives teammates both danger and an opening elsewhere. If a player is chased, do not all follow. Use the distraction to search, open a route, or position for help without leading the monster back to the objective carrier.

What to do after elimination

A community walkthrough reports a revive option, but its cost, limits, return state, and effect on the round need a current UI check. Read the entire prompt. Revive when there is meaningful time left, teammates are still progressing, and the price is acceptable. Decline when the round is nearly decided or you would return without a viable route.

If there is no suitable revive, watch the remaining players. Spectating is a useful map lesson: trace how they connect landmarks, which doorways the Locust checks, and where a chase actually ends. Avoid copying a one-off glitch or assuming a place is safe because it worked once.

A five-round learning plan

1. In round one, learn the lobby and one map loop.
2. In round two, search for objectives without entering unknown dead ends.
3. In round three, practice breaking line of sight before hiding.
4. In round four, give two useful location calls to teammates.
5. In round five, test one item or role action using the current UI description.

This sequence remains useful when details change because it trains orientation and decisions rather than fixed numbers. Keep uncertainty small: verify the one action you need, then continue playing.
