Equipment
MM2 of The Locust equipment powers — active and passive abilities, tools, rarity tiers and how new gear is coming to the nest.
Introduction
The equipment section of the MM2 of The Locust wiki covers the items, tools and powers that are coming to the Locust's nest. Equipment powers are a confirmed upcoming feature — the developers have announced that new equipment and powers will arrive in a future update, adding another layer of strategy to the 1 vs All survival round. This section explains what equipment exists today, how powers work, and how items are ranked by rarity. Powers are active and passive abilities that can change how you survive — for example, a power that slows the Locust or speeds up your escape could be a game-changer. Tools are gadgets that help you escape or disrupt the killer. Rarity tiers rank items from rare to legendary, with higher-tier gear offering stronger effects. Because the equipment system is still being developed, some details here are based on developer announcements and community reports rather than final in-game data — we will update this section as the system goes live.

Core Mechanics
The equipment system in MM2 of The Locust is an upcoming feature designed to add strategic depth to the 1 vs All survival round. Equipment powers are the headline addition — active and passive abilities that change how you survive in the nest. Active powers might be things you trigger at key moments, such as slowing the Locust or speeding up your own escape, while passive powers could provide ongoing boosts like improved hiding effectiveness or faster movement. Tools are gadgets that give you a one-time edge in a tight spot — distractions, decoys, or quick bursts of speed. Gear items are ranked by rarity from rare to legendary, with higher-tier gear providing stronger stats and effects. The rarity system creates a progression goal for players who want to collect the best equipment. Because the system is still in development, the exact mechanics are subject to change, but the announced direction is clear: equipment powers will give survivors new tools to outplay the Locust and make each round more tactical.
Advantages
The upcoming equipment system promises to add real strategic depth to MM2 of The Locust. By giving survivors active powers and tools, it creates new ways to outplay the Locust beyond simple hiding and running — you will be able to distract, slow or disrupt the killer at key moments. The rarity system adds a collection and progression layer, giving players a reason to keep playing and something to chase. Equipment also creates more build variety: different players can focus on different loadouts that match their playstyle, whether that is pure stealth, aggressive map control or team support. For the Locust side, the equipment meta adds new challenges and keeps the role interesting. Overall, equipment powers look set to make rounds more strategic, varied and engaging for both sides.
Challenges
The main weakness of the equipment system right now is that it does not exist in its final form yet — it has been announced but not fully released, so details are limited and subject to change. Because the game is in pre-alpha, the exact list of powers, tools and rarity tiers has not been confirmed, which means much of the current information is based on developer announcements and community speculation rather than in-game experience. There is also a risk that powerful legendary equipment could create balance issues if it makes survivors too strong or too weak, though this is something the developers will need to tune as the system goes live. Until the equipment update ships, players cannot try these items, so the equipment section is necessarily forward-looking.

Quick Tips
Save high-impact equipment and powers for the final escape. A power that slows the Locust is most valuable when you need to reach the exit as the Last Survivor, so resist the temptation to use your best items early in the round. Planning your loadout and your usage timing ahead of time makes your items far more effective than reacting in the moment.
Keep a tool in reserve for emergencies at all times. Using your gadget too early leaves you vulnerable in the final escape when you need it most, so develop the discipline to hold your best equipment until a truly critical moment. Planning your loadout and your usage timing ahead of time makes your items far more effective than reacting in the moment.
Match your gear to your playstyle rather than copying other players. Stealth-focused survivors should prioritize hiding and movement boosts, while aggressive players may prefer disruption tools that let them control the pace of the round. Planning your loadout and your usage timing ahead of time makes your items far more effective than reacting in the moment.
