Roles and objectives in multiplayer gameplay

Multiplayer is a 1v4 asymmetrical experience in which Civilians try to save Haddonfield residents and themselves while Michael Myers stalks and kills his targets.

Michael can use Killer Sense in first person to detect nearby prey and build Stalk by focusing on targets, improving his ability to identify and track them while opening additional execution options.

Civilians locate surviving residents and warn them; successful conversations can enable additional police calls, instructions to find secure hiding places, or companionship.

Lootable containers provide weapons, distractions, and key items that Civilians can use while preparing possible escape routes.

Beginner gameplay: objectives, danger, and recovery

  1. As a Civilian, find surviving residents, convince them of Michael’s threat, and guide them while preparing an escape.
  2. Search lootable containers for weapons, distractions, and key items, then adapt to what you find because item and escape locations change between matches.
  3. Use the required items to unlock and access one of the possible escape routes, then guide residents toward that escape.
  4. Expect an initiated escape sequence to create enough noise to alert Michael to your exact location.
  5. Stay careful and quiet because excessive noise, reckless flashlight use, or careless resident escorts can cause an unwanted encounter with Michael.
  6. If a Civilian dies, the player can still support friends and may return as a Sheriff’s Deputy or Dr. Loomis.
  7. As Michael, locate, terrorize, and execute residents while pursuing Special Targets for greater rewards before their time expires.
