Audio Cue
As soon as a stealthy Killer starts to move again, thus cancelling Insidious, a loud sound cue titled "Stinger" plays to warn Survivors:
Trivia
- Since the introduction of The Pig
, the Terror Radius
gradually fades away instead of being instantly gone after Insidious becomes active.
- The Killer still makes breathing noises while under the effect of Insidious, which is a way for attentive Survivors to still notice their presence.
- Before Insidious was updated with the Undetectable Status Effect, its description mentioning a stealth ability confused many (usually newer) Players into thinking of the ability turning the Killer invisible, rather than just masking the Red Stain and Terror Radius.
- Some languages even outright mistranslated the stealth ability to mean invisibility.
- Using a Killer's Power will automatically cancel Insidious.
- However, moving your camera around, stalking Survivors as The Shape
or The Ghost Face
or phase-walking as The Spirit
will not cancel Insidious.
- Setting a Bear Trap as The Trapper
will not cancel Insidious either.
- However, moving your camera around, stalking Survivors as The Shape
- Insidious does not affect Hums or Lullabies.
