Hider scouting
Best MECCHA CHAMELEON hiding spots and camouflage checklist
The best hiding spot is not the darkest corner. It is the place where your painted body looks like something the room already expected to see.

What are the best hiding spots?
The best MECCHA CHAMELEON hiding spots combine a matching surface, a believable pose, low silhouette noise, and a route that does not require late movement. If one of those four checks fails, a skilled Hunter can usually turn the spot into a time-saving read.
Four-part hiding test
| Check | Good sign | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Your paint sits inside an existing color family. | You match a color that appears nowhere nearby. |
| Pose | Your shape explains why it is there. | The pose is funny but not object-like. |
| Silhouette | Edges merge with props or wall geometry. | The outline is readable from the main path. |
| Timing | You can settle before the sweep begins. | You need to adjust after Hunters enter. |
Scout habits for repeatable spots
- Save one safe spot and one risky spot per map instead of memorizing only viral clips.
- Watch Hunter routes after you get caught; the best next hide is often near the sweep path they ignored.
- Use a private room to test whether the spot works from the Hunter camera, not only your own view.
- Do not trust a spot forever after patches or Workshop updates.

FAQ
Quick answers
Should I hide in corners?
Corners can work, but only when the shape and color still look intentional. A blank corner with one strange outline is often easier to scan than a busy prop cluster.
How do I test a hiding spot?
Have another player view it as Hunter, then check whether color, outline, spacing, and lighting still look normal from the main sweep path.
