What is The Locust?

The Locust is named in the official credit to DoctorNowhere and is a lobby pick, sometimes heard as Locus. Not Tonight is personally repelling the Locust from an entrance for the first time. The on-screen tip says the Locust does not breach lit areas. The game never defines that phrase. A flashlight beam is not documented as a lit area. The verified light play is house power and floodlights. No recording used here describes what it looks like. This is a monster, not a player class.

How do you use The Locust?

Run the shared siege. When power is up, look at it, shut the entrance it is touching, and turn on a floodlight. It works doors and windows on both floors, jumps a window, and cuts power. In one restore it vanished when the lights returned, then broke in again later. Keep defending until the lobby takes you back.

The Locust questions

Which creature should a new squad pick?

There is no official easy pick. Use the same entrance, breaker, and breach plan, and add the Locust light rule or the Skinwalker door rule only when that text is the one in front of you.
