Ceiling Hang Strat
Mechanic: Chameleons possess a sticky-pad passive trait.
Execution: Double jump toward any vertical wall, hold Shift to latch on, and push your stick/WASD upwards to climb to the ceiling.
Tactical Value: Combine with Ctrl + 3 (Upside-down pose) and paint yourself pipe-gray. Hunters scan rooms at standard eye-levels (1.5m - 1.8m). The ceiling is a total visual blind spot.
Material Reflection Bait
Mechanic: High-fidelity specular and roughness rendering sliders added in v1.02 patch.
Execution: When hiding against glass, shiny tiles, or metal surfaces, adjust your model's "Metallic" property above 80% along with proper RGB tones.
Tactical Value: Your skin surface reflects flashlight beam tracers realistically. Hunters instinctively dismiss you as a native static prop element.
Molt Escape
Mechanic: In Infection Mode, disguised players have an active self-rescue ability.
Execution: When a hunter blindly swings or releases a color detection wave, press E the instant before impact.
Tactical Value: You leave behind a Fake Shell that preserves your current painted posture, while your real body enters a 2.5-second semi-transparent invisibility and speed boost. Use those two seconds to relocate to a pre-planned backup hiding spot.
