How to Beat Screamer Puppets: The Alarm Bells

Silence SCUM's Screamer Puppets: eliminate them silently with bows or suppressed weapons before they alert hordes of other puppets.

Screamer Puppets are not dangerous on their own, but their ability to alert large groups of other puppets makes them a high-priority target.

• Phases/Behavior: Upon detecting a player, they will emit a loud, piercing shriek that attracts all nearby puppets to your location. They are generally weaker than other puppet types.
• Weaknesses: Any weapon can kill them quickly due to their low health.
• Strategy:
  • Silent Takedown: The absolute best strategy is to eliminate them silently with a bow, suppressed weapon, or melee weapon before they can scream.
  • Prioritize: If detected, make them your primary target. Kill them before they finish their scream animation.
  • Evasion: If you fail to kill them before they scream, immediately change your position and prepare for a large influx of puppets.
• Rewards: Prevents a massive puppet horde from descending upon you, allowing for smoother looting.
