Audio Cue
As soon as a stealthy Killer starts to move again, thus cancelling Insidious, a loud sound cue titled "Stinger" plays to warn Survivors:
Trivia
- Since the introduction of The Pig, the Terror Radius gradually fades away instead of being instantly gone after Insidious becomes active.
- The Killer still makes breathing noises while under the effect of Insidious, which is a way for attentive Survivors to still notice their presence.
- Before Insidious was updated with the Undetectable Status Effect, the description mentioning stealth confused many Players and led to beliefs such as the Killer turning invisible, rather than just masking their Terror Radius and Stain.
- Some languages even mistranslated the stealth to mean invisibility, further increasing the confusion.
- Using a Killer's Power will automatically cancel Insidious.
- However, moving your camera around, stalking Survivors as The Shape or The Ghost Face or phase-walking as The Spirit will not cancel Insidious.
- Setting a Bear Trap as The Trapper will not cancel Insidious either.
- However, moving your camera around, stalking Survivors as The Shape
- Insidious does not affect Hums or Lullabies.
