Summary
If you have access to Admin Powers in Murder Mystery 2, the Locust becomes much more dangerous—and much more fun to test. Several abilities can help you escape the monster, while others can turn you into the killer and give you powerful ways to hunt down survivors. To make the most of these abilities, buy Murder Mystery 2 Items and secure the weapons.
In this guide, we'll go through the main Locust abilities tested in a real match, including the Camera, Taser, Speed, Invisibility, and different Locust forms.
How to Use Locust Admin Powers in MM2
The most important thing to understand is that not every ability works consistently. The Camera and Taser especially require good positioning, while Speed and Invisibility are much easier to use during an actual chase.
Camera
The Camera is supposed to help you deal with the Locust by taking a picture of it. During testing, however, simply pointing the Camera at the monster from a distance did not consistently activate the effect.
The biggest lesson from the test is distance matters. Several attempts failed, and the game repeatedly indicated that the player needed to get closer. Even getting near the Locust while it was attacking another survivor did not always produce the expected result.
If you want to test the Camera, wait until the Locust is distracted by another player and approach from the side or behind. Get as close as possible before taking the picture, but be ready to run immediately if the effect fails.
Taser
The Taser is another defensive tool that can be used against the Locust. Unlike the Camera, the test showed that getting extremely close can make a difference.
The player successfully used the Taser during a dangerous encounter and even managed to activate it while being eliminated. However, the results were not completely consistent.
The safest way to use it is to wait until the Locust commits to chasing or attacking someone. Keep the Taser ready, move into range, and activate it at the last possible moment. Don't waste it from too far away if the game does not register the attack.
How to Use Speed and Invisibility
Speed and Invisibility are much more straightforward and can be especially useful when the Locust gets close.
Speed
The Speed ability is activated with X in the tested setup. Once activated, it provides a dramatic movement boost.
This is useful when you need to:
Create distance from the Locust
Reach another area quickly
Escape after a failed Camera or Taser attempt
Move between hiding spots
Avoid getting trapped in a corner
Speed works best when you activate it before the Locust is directly on top of you. If you wait until you're already trapped, the extra movement may not be enough to save you.
Invisibility
Invisibility is activated with Z in the tested setup. Unlike Speed, it is better saved for an emergency.
During the test, Invisibility allowed the player to escape when the Locust was extremely close. The ability eventually wore off, and the player discovered that it could only be used once per game in that match.
Because of that limitation, don't activate Invisibility simply because the Locust is nearby. Save it for situations where you're about to be caught or need to cross an exposed area.
One particularly useful idea from the test was combining Invisibility with the Taser. You can attempt to approach the Locust while hidden and then use the Taser without immediately revealing your position. However, the test showed that this interaction does not always work perfectly.
Using the Locust Monster Forms
Admin Powers also allow you to experiment with different monster forms, each with its own attack style.
The Organizer
The Organizer is extremely fast and can quickly chase down survivors across the map. Its attacks can split players in half, making it especially effective once you locate a group of survivors.
The biggest challenge is finding players who are hiding. During the test, several survivors managed to stay hidden for surprisingly long periods.
When playing as the Organizer, don't waste too much time searching random rooms. Check common hiding areas and listen for movement or voice chat. Once you find a survivor, use your speed to close the distance before they can escape.
The Guilt
The final form tested in the video uses a more demanding grab-based attack.
Instead of simply attacking a player, you need to successfully grab the target. If you miss, the attack does not count, which makes this form harder to control.
The best approach is to get close before attempting the grab. Avoid attacking while the survivor has plenty of room to run, because a missed grab can give them enough time to escape.
Once you get the timing right, the form becomes extremely effective against campers and players hiding inside buildings.
Best Tips for Using Locust Powers
The most important lesson from these tests is that timing and positioning matter more than simply having every ability available.
Save Invisibility for emergencies, use Speed before you become completely trapped, and get extremely close when testing Camera or Taser. If an ability fails, don't immediately assume you're using the wrong button—the interaction itself may not trigger every time.
When playing as a Locust monster, use your speed to pressure survivors instead of randomly searching the entire map. For the grab-based form, prioritize accuracy because missing an attack can cost valuable time.
Final Thoughts
Locust Admin Powers can completely change how you play MM2. Camera and Taser provide defensive options, Speed gives you a powerful movement advantage, and Invisibility can save you when the Locust is about to catch you.
The monster forms are even more destructive, with the Organizer offering fast attacks and the Guilt relying on precise grabs.
Just remember that some abilities tested here were inconsistent, so don't depend on them as guaranteed counters. Use your powers at the right moment, stay close enough for them to register, and always keep an escape route ready. To stay fully prepared, having the right Murder Mystery 2 Items can give you the flexibility to adapt when abilities don't go as planned.
