Welcome to the Game III Killers Guide

Tanner Grayton — parking lot and front desk

[object Object] attacks on two vectors. Motel-room: he crouches outside your peephole — lock the door inside, watch until he leaves frame, then exit. Front desk: faint grass rustle precedes a vault over the counter toward Simon's chair; hit the panic button right of the PC to seal sliding doors for roughly ten to fifteen seconds.

Open SecCAM on the parking lot before long browsing sessions. Motion sensors on the outer wooden poles (left and right lot edges) feed FRONT_OUTER_LOT alerts on the taskbar — cross-check before pressing panic. Over-spamming panic drops WiFi and invites Tucker repair trips. Full step order lives on the Tanner guide.

Lucas Kumiega — back door and hide spots

[object Object] is the primary interior killer. A rhythmic squeak at the rear door means he is testing the lock — keep it bolted every hour. Once inside the audio loop starts, sprint to the laundry cart (easier Stay Quiet minigame) or locker (better sightlines, harder silence check).

Failed quiet checks mean instant death. Earbuds amplify the squeak cue so you react before he crosses the threshold. Motion sensors near the rear corridor buy one extra second to reach a hide spot.

Noir — Patrick and Myra turn counts

[object Object] spawns as a pair — Patrick (male shadow) and Myra (pale female). Note which side each stands on; community guides treat order as part of the counter rhythm. Equip the flashlight, turn your back, and count: five seconds for Patrick, ten seconds for Myra, then turn forward.

Early or late turns fail the check and trigger a kill animation. The count must be exact — mashing look keys does not help. If both appear during another threat window, finish Noir first; other killers rarely overlap the same room second-for-second.

Bomb Maker — site trigger and physical defusal

[object Object] is the only killer tied to a dark web URL. Visiting his listing sends a defusal code to your inbox and spawns a physical bomb somewhere in the motel — under a bed, behind the desk, or in a side room. Read the code on PC, locate the device, and enter the sequence before the timer hits zero.

Do not browse the Bomb Maker site until you have cleared immediate threats and know the motel layout. Pair with the hacking guide if firewall minigames delay your return to first-person search.

Tucker — breaker rustle and Ace of Spades room

[object Object] sabotages connectivity. Periodic WiFi outages force you to the rear breaker boxes with a flashlight. Mid-repair leaf rustle means he is beside you — do not move until a second rustle confirms he walked away. Moving during the first rustle triggers the ambush.

Alternate attack: old intercom music plays across the lot. Sprint to the motel room marked with an Ace of Spades playing card, lock the door, and wait for the music to end with a short victory sting. Every other room is unsafe until the cue clears.

The Breather — drone drop chase

[object Object] waits at the bridge drone delivery point. Picking up the package triggers his spawn — you cannot hide. Walk until you spot him, then sprint the planned path back to the motel entrance without zigzagging into dead corners.

Pre-scout the return route during a quiet hour. Carrying keys or meth during the run is fine; stopping to browse mid-chase is not. If you hear breathing before pickup, abort the delivery until the walkthrough threat window passes.

The Kidnapper — white van and floor timing

[object Object] parks a white van on the street camera feed. He walks toward the motel stairs — turn off lights, pick a hide spot (bathroom, closet, under desk), and lock your floor door before footsteps reach your level.

Checking the street cam before leaving the desk prevents outdoor ambushes. If the van is present, delay key runs until it departs. Indoor hide beats trying to out-sprint him on the staircase.

One bag rule

Scavenge meth bags from adjacent motel rooms, but carry only one at a time. Cletus takes everything in your inventory if you carry multiples — leaving you naked on the next encounter.

When he blocks your path, hand over the single bag and continue key hunting. The exchange is instant and non-lethal if you prepared.

When to restock

After paying Cletus, loop back for another single bag before crossing the lot again. Treat meth like a toll pass, not loot to bank. Pair scavenging with SecCAM checks so Tanner does not catch you transitioning rooms.

Priority order

Immediate lethal (Tanner vault, Lucas inside, Bomb timer) beats delayed lethal (Kidnapper stairs, Tucker music). Finish the counter that kills in under five seconds first.

If WiFi drops during Tanner rustle, panic button still works locally — seal the desk, then handle Tucker only after the vault window closes.

Browse discipline

Long dark web sessions blur audio cues. Pause typing when grass rustles, squeaks repeat, or intercom music fades in. The walkthrough lists quieter key sites for high-threat hours.

Normal mode hourly checkpoints are save points — use them before visiting Bomb Maker or running the drone drop.
