Doomscroller¶
📱 The Doomscroller is a fast, twitchy distractor with a short hold. It won't pin you for long, but it's quick enough to catch players who think they can just run past.

How it distracts you¶
Its low charisma (30) means the capture actually takes longer than average (~9+ seconds for Plain) — but its high Speed lets it stay glued to a moving target, keeping line-of-sight to make that time count. Once caught, the hold is a mild 20 seconds.
Think of Doomscroller as the "catches you while you run" distractor — it punishes sprinting through open space rather than using cover.
Counters¶
- Don't try to out-run it in a straight line — use corners to break line-of-sight, which it can't chase through.
- Its short range (8 studs) means tight, careful movement slips past it.
- Even if caught, the 20s hold is quick to wait out or rescue.
