Abilities

Mask On (V.A.N.N.I. Mask)

Press Q to equip the V.A.N.N.I. mask, entering first-person view. While active, nearby phaseable obstacles are highlighted. Unlocks the Phase ability (E) and locks Static Mirage. April 22 hotfix: mask can now be taken off (Mask Off: press Q again, reduces cooldown based on remaining duration). May 12, 2026 patch: max cooldown increased from 30s to 45s.

Enables Phase, disables Static Mirage; mask removable; 45s max CD (post May 12)

Phase

While V.A.N.N.I. Mask is active, press E to dash through any highlighted obstacle within range. Costs mask meter per use (timer drain reduced from -40 to -30 as of May 12 patch; max depth increased from 12 to 14). Grants Slowness for 5 seconds after phasing. Developer clarification: works on boxes, debris, crates — NOT walls, killers, or exit gates (Wyvern 2026-04-21 11:26). Apr 22 hotfix: slowness duration decreased by 35% (was ~7.7s → now 5s). May 12, 2026 patch: Phase now has no cooldown; timer drain reduced -40 → -30; max depth 12 → 14. Source: Fandom wiki (Silver 2026-04-23); Official Discord #update-log swiv 2026-05-12 (Gold).

Phase through soft obstacles; no CD (post May 12); -30 timer drain; max depth 14; applies 5s Slowness

Static Mirage

Press E (when mask is off) to deploy a tesla shield at your location. The shield applies Slowness and Dazed debuffs to any killer that enters its range. May 12, 2026 patch: antenna lifespan greatly increased from 20s to 60s. Can be destroyed by a single M1 hit from the killer.
