What is The Locust?
The Locust is named in the official credit to DoctorNowhere and is a lobby pick, sometimes heard as Locus. The on-screen tip says the Locust does not breach lit areas. The game never defines that phrase. One group turned flashlights off while waiting. A flashlight beam is not documented as a lit area. The verified light play is house power and floodlights. No recording used here describes what it looks like.

How do you get The Locust?
Selected as the opponent in the lobby before the night starts. It is not a player class and not a pickup.
How do you use The Locust?
Run the shared siege. When power is up, look at it, shut the entrance it is touching, and turn on a floodlight. It works doors and windows on both floors, jumps a window, and cuts power. In one restore it vanished when the lights returned, then broke in again later. Keep defending until the lobby takes you back. Do not assume it walks off at morning just because players expected that.
