  • ----------------------------
  • When spawning, the round timer will be set to 200. The map will also become darkened. The Warden will take 8 seconds to activate after spawning, creating 10 Shriekers throughout the map. After activating, The Warden will slowly patrol, swapping between moving towards players and random locations on the map. The Warden cannot be stunned.
  • The Warden has three states. Passive, annoyed, and angry.
  • When The Warden is passive, it will patrol around quietly. The Warden cannot detect players nearby if they are not moving; so remaining still if the Warden is nearby will ensure safety. However, if the Warden comes into direct contact with a player, it will attack. If at any point, a shrieker is activated or a player is detected by The Warden, it will become angry. If a Shrieker is activated, the player who activated it becomes The Warden's target. This state is indicated visually by The Warden's slow heart rate.
  • When the Warden is angry. It will rapidly chase down its target at a VERY high speed, outspeeding all coils. This state lasts for around 10-12 seconds. The Warden can also detect any players it comes across while moving towards its target, which will shift the focus of The Warden onto them. If the Warden reaches a player, it will smash them very quickly, instantly killing players and darkening the area for a moment. This state is indicated visually by The Warden's quick heart rate and aggression.
  • After killing the target, or if the target escapes the Warden, The Warden will become annoyed. While annoyed, The Warden will patrol similarly to its passive state, however, it will detect players nearby regardless of if they are moving or not, resetting its state back to angry. For the Warden to become passive again, it must not detect any players for a certain amount of time. This state is indicated visually by The Warden's moderate heart rate, as well as its idle sounds being replaced with annoyed growling.
  • Shriekers will activate if a player enters their range; which randomly increases & decreases over time making them risky to move past. Shriekers will not automatically activate if they spawn next to a player, but will activate if any new players enter their range. Shriekers have a cooldown after being activated for around 12-14 seconds. When multiple Shriekers are activated, the Warden will prioritize the first Shrieker's target it hears, meaning that it may be safe to move through Shriekers if the Warden is occupied with someone else.
  • When the round has less than 100 remaining seconds, the Warden will now only patrol towards remaining players.
  • ----------------------------
  • Unlike closets, Shriekers spawn on AI nodes, meaning they can appear anywhere on the map. This also sometimes results in Shriekers spawning too far into the ground or too far above the ground; though they will still function as normal.
  • Shriekers will not activate if there's a wall between the shrieker and a player.
  • The Warden was suggested by Have, though it was also suggested by THEDAO77 about a year ago.
