Scream
Knockback, then deny sprint
Scream of Pain now applies Confusion instead of Stun. The current package configures five seconds of no-sprint pressure.
28 July 2026 · Early Access update
Early Access Patch Note №2
The practical headline: the Sisters still control space, but Bunnies keep moving under Scream and gain clearer answers to active Mannequins.
- New status
- Confusion cannot sprint
- Scream cost
- 5 raw charge
- Regions
- 3 multi-select
Radar
Scan active Mannequins
Radar becomes direct Sisters counterplay: use it to identify an activated Mannequin before the team commits to a route.
Rescue
Interact to free a teammate
A Bunny trapped by a Mannequin is no longer only a Hunter setup. Another Bunny can approach and release them.
What the current package corroborates
These are not guesses from the changelog wording; the relevant effects, state references, and interactions exist in the new files.
Confusion replaces Scream's Stun
The current Scream zone references GE_Confusion. Its tags include CantSprint, and the zone exposes a configured 5 second duration.
Scream consumes 5 charge
The current charge table adds Hunter.ExecuteSpecial at 5, referenced by the Sisters Scream state.
Radar reads active Mannequins
The current Radar blueprint references the Sisters trap Mannequin and its state component.
Bunny rescue interaction exists
The current Sisters Mannequin exposes survivor interaction and interaction-enable logic.
