How to Play Locust in MM2 of The Locust

You are the murderer slot with a unique mesh: tendril hair, glowing eyes, long grab. Win by clearing the lobby. Lose if a Sheriff or Hero lands the gun. Read the full kit on the Locust role page after this tutorial so the opening path is automatic.

Trolling as The Locust in MM2 — RealJuno

The short above is why half the internet searched this game. Voice bait works because Innocents still think they are in a joke lobby. Use it as seasoning, not as the whole kit. After two funny lines, cut someone. A Locust that only trolls trains the lobby to ignore the morph.

Opening hunt

1. Identify the Sheriff silhouette first. The gun ends you; coins do not.
2. Take a side route, not the spawn stampede.
3. Grab isolated players on cube rims or hallway ends.
4. If someone scans you, break LOS, then re-enter from a second door.
5. Do not emote on the first body. The Sheriff is still holding a shot.

Use the nest geometry

On rooftops, stand in the cube volume and grab over the lip. On halls, hold the bright doorway so your silhouette reads as a poster until someone walks in. Third person helps you see around the mesh. If Innocents cluster, walk through them once to scatter, then pick the slowest. Crowd grabs look good on camera and lose to a Sheriff flick. Map loops are listed in the map guide.

Sheriff priority

A living Sheriff is a ticking fail state. If you see the gun model, close distance with a corner, do not t-bag in the open. After the Sheriff dies, contest the drop. Standing on the gun delay is better than chasing a runner who will loop back. Innocents who go for the Hero pickup are listed in How to Get the Gun — punish that path.

Voice without throwing

Proximity voice is part of the fantasy and part of the skill issue. Short lines (“come here”, fake Robux) pull kids out of closets. Long rants tell everyone your heading. Mute if you cannot aim and talk. Mobile Locusts should pre-bind push-to-talk so they do not broadcast footsteps plus breathing. See mobile controls.

Habits that lose Locust rounds

• Tunneling one streamer while the Sheriff free-aims your back.
• Camping a spawn that already emptied.
• Using scripts in a recorded lobby. Clips get you reported.
• Ignoring coin farmers in a corner until they become Heroes.
