Tips & Strategies
Learn from the survivors. Master these techniques and you might just make it out alive.
Movement
Master Gorilla Tag Movement
Your arms are your legs. Practice pushing off surfaces with alternating hands for maximum speed.
Never Stop Moving
Stationary players are dead players. Even when hiding, keep your hands ready to move.
Stamina Conservation
Climbing drains stamina fast. Look for platforms where you can rest mid-climb.
Use the Grappling Hook
It's not just for traversal—swing to break line of sight with pursuing monsters.
Combat
Stun, Don't Kill
You can't kill monsters—only stun them for 8 seconds. Use that time wisely.
Lead Your Shots
Projectile weapons have travel time. Aim where the monster will be, not where it is.
Save Your Stun Baton
It's a one-time-use guaranteed stun. Keep it for emergencies.
Combo Weapons
Freeze Ray slows monsters. Follow up with Flamethrower for area denial.
Awareness
Always Look Up
Kill Crawler attacks from ceilings. Check above you before entering rooms.
Listen for Audio Cues
Terror Worm causes tremors 2 seconds before striking. The Beast's roar has a distinctive sound.
Watch the Fog
Infected Monke's toxic fog lingers for 15 seconds. Plan alternate routes.
Trust Your HUD
When it glitches, Radio Bot is within 800cm. Switch to melee weapons.
Red Light Emergency
Find a Hiding Spot Early
When sirens start, you have 5 seconds before doors lock and monsters get 50% faster.
Small Spaces
Monsters can't fit through tight gaps. Use vents and crawlspaces during emergencies.
Stay Calm
Red Light lasts 30-60 seconds. Panicking and running burns stamina you'll need.
Use Smoke Grenades
Break line of sight even in locked rooms. Monsters can't target what they can't see.
Multiplayer
Stick Together
Lone players are easy prey. Groups can watch each other's backs.
Assign Roles
Have one player focus on stunning, another on scouting, and one on gathering resources.
Establish Code Words
Mimicer disguises as players. Use code phrases to verify teammates.
Revive Priority
When a teammate is down, clear the area first. A rushed revive gets two players killed.

Pro Tips
Evolution Prediction
Monsters evolve based on time in proximity, damage taken, and player actions. If you've been fighting a monster for over 2 minutes, expect it to be in Hunter or Berserker state. Plan your escape before engaging.
Stamina Management
Your stamina drains at 5/second while climbing. At 100 max stamina, you get 20 seconds of continuous climbing. Plan your climbing routes with rest spots every 15 seconds to maintain a buffer.
Flare Gun Meta
Fire flares in the opposite direction of where you want to go. Monsters are attracted to the light. It's effectively a 60-second distraction that can clear entire areas.
Cured Monke Alliance
Cured Monke in the Meadow detects threats within 1200cm. If you see it getting agitated, danger is approaching. Use its behavior as an early warning system.
