Security Guard can be unlocked from the in-game shop for 900 Scraps, making them the most expensive Survivor in the Bite By Night launch roster. This Survivor archetype has stats identical to every other. Meaning as far as movement, durability, and general game feel go, the Security Guard feels no different from the others. They can reliably outrun Killers like The Rotten and The Doppelganger.

Here’s a quick overview of this playable archetype’s stats:

  • Health: 100
  • Speed: 12 (24 Sprint)
  • Stamina: 100

Security Guard has access to two abilities: Taser and Cams. The Taser is a tool that can be charged or cancelled at will, and different effects occur when using it at different charge points:

  • If quickfired without much of a charge, it applies the Slowness debuff to the Killer for three seconds.
  • If fired with a green indicator, it applies Slowness and Silence debuffs to the Killer for five seconds.
  • If fired with a yellow indicator, it applies Slowness and Dazed debuffs to the Killer for seven seconds.
  • If fired with a red indicator, it applies Slowness and Confusion debuffs to the Killer for nine seconds.

The other ability, Cams, has the Security Guard remain in place and use a tablet to view surveillance footage from across the map. This can help them highlight Killers, Generators, Survivors, and Batteries by clicking on them, which remain highlighted to all Survivors for five seconds. The tablet has four bars’ worth of energy reserves, and each highlight consumes one bar. Its energy restores over time, meaning the Guard won’t permanently lose access to it.

How to use Security Guard effectively

The Security Guard’s base kit is geared around team play, where other Survivors must play their parts for the Guard to lead them to a successful escape. Cams is the most valuable tool in their kit, allowing them to give all players a heads-up on the Killer’s location. Furthermore, they can point Survivors to nearby objectives, so that the minigames can be completed as soon as possible.

Taser is slightly less effective as a utility tool, as it requires charging to apply the best possible debuffs. If the Taser happens to miss, the Security Guard is more or less helpless, with no self-buffing or healing tools at their disposal.

The Security Guard is the only Survivor type in the game that is heavily reliant on communication for being effective. They have the potential to be the leader of the Survivor group, provided their plans are relayed well. As such, their effectiveness may vary from one match to the next, especially in random queues.
