Grounds
- Hedgemaze. Green, clean, awfully neat. Did you hear that?
- Poolrooms. Steam, slime, water, terror.
- Farmhouse. Creaking floors, peeling paint, and a storm that threatens to tear the roof off.
- Backrooms. Abandoned. Still lit. Twisting. Looping. Definitely abandoned.
- Dungeon. Stone, rust, chains. No way out. And the skulls...
- Bio. In the belly of the beast. But not alone.
Hunters
- Horizon — X-Ray. Runners become visible through walls and obstacles.
- Woodsman — Trail. Draws directional trails left behind by runners.
- Eclipse — Darkness. A blinding darkness envelops and blinds runners who get too close.
- 0x0000bs0d — BSOD. Nearby runners will lock up with fear.
- Boots — Gaze. Stare at a runner for 10 seconds to catch them. Runners staring back can freeze you in place.
- Imposter — Disguise. Take on the appearance of a runner. When the timer runs out your true nature is revealed.
- Pulse — Sound Warp. Warps the auditory perception of runners.
- Landgnasher — Wall Breaker. Aim at a wall and activate this ability to destroy it - clearing a new path.
