Sabotage Guide: Showers
The Showers sabotage, a feature on maps like The Airship, offers Impostors a unique way to disrupt crewmate flow and create kill opportunities. By locking down this specific area, you can control movement and isolate unsuspecting victims.
When the Showers are sabotaged, the doors to the Shower area become locked, preventing entry and exit. This can be particularly effective if crewmates are known to use this area for tasks or as a shortcut. The goal is to create a confined space, trap individuals, or prevent crewmates from reaching other parts of the ship. The Showers are typically located in a central or connecting area, making their lockdown impactful on overall movement.
Strategic Uses of the Showers Sabotage:
- Isolation and Trapping: If you see a crewmate heading into the Showers, or if they are already inside, sabotaging the Showers can trap them. This allows for a potential kill in a secluded area.
- Preventing Task Completion: The Showers often contain tasks. Locking them down prevents crewmates from completing these, adding pressure and delaying task bar progress.
- Creating Diversions: Sabotaging the Showers can draw attention away from another part of the map where you might be planning a kill or a vent escape.
- Splitting Up Groups: If a group of crewmates is moving together, sabotaging the Showers can force them to split up to address the sabotage or to avoid being locked out of other areas.
- Timing is Crucial: The best time to use this sabotage is when crewmates are spread out, or when you know a specific crewmate is in or near the Showers.
How to Execute the Showers Sabotage:
- Locate the Sabotage Button: Access your sabotage map.
- Select the Showers Icon: The Showers are typically represented by a specific icon on the map.
- Activate the Sabotage: Press the sabotage button.
Countering the Showers Sabotage (as Crewmate):
- Be Aware of Your Surroundings: If you are in or near the Showers when it's sabotaged, be cautious. An Impostor might be waiting.
- Don't Get Trapped: If you see the Shower doors locking, and you are outside, do not attempt to force your way in. Find an alternative route or wait for the sabotage to end.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you see an Impostor sabotaging the Showers, report it immediately.
The Showers sabotage is a versatile tool. Use it to control the flow of the game, create kill opportunities, and sow discord among the crewmates.
