The Ghost Face

The Ghost Face

Difficulty: Hard · Patch 10.2.2, data from October 28, 2026.

A creepy Killer, able to Stalk his victims and sneak up silently using his power, Night Shroud. Affected Survivors will find themselves vulnerable and oblivious to his presence and must use all of their perception and awareness to protect themselves from his approach.

Power

Night Shroud

Night Shroud

Night Shroud: Undetectable stealth mode; he stalks Survivors to Mark them (Exposed).

Full power text

The Ghost Face used to study his victims for weeks, meticulously registering their habits. When the urge to kill swelled, he’d know exactly how and where to strike.

NIGHT SHROUD

Press the Power button to activate Night Shroud when the power gauge is full. The Ghost Face is granted the Undetectable status effect while Night Shroud is active. Performing a basic attack fully depletes the power gauge and deactivates Night Shroud.

Reveal:

Survivors within proximity to The Ghost Face may attempt to reveal him by looking in his direction for a short duration. A successful reveal fully depletes The Ghost Face's power gauge and automatically deactivates Night Shroud. Survivors who reveal The Ghost Face have their current location indicated by Killer Instinct for a very short duration.

SPECIAL ABILITY: STALK

Hold down the Power button to Stalk Survivors while Night Shroud is active. Hold down the Power button while behind cover to lean out and Stalk at a faster rate. Completing Stalk progress on a Survivor Marks your target and applies the Exposed status effect to your Mark for a limited amount of time. Marked Survivors cannot reveal The Ghost Face.

SPECIAL ABILITY: CROUCH

Press the Active Ability button to Crouch. Press the Active Ability button again while Crouched to stand. The Ghost Face moves at a slower speed while Crouched.

How to counter

  • You can reveal him within 32 m with at least 30% of his model near screen centre for 1.5 s: this ends his stealth.
  • While Marked (60 s) you cannot reveal him and you are Exposed.
  • He stalks faster when leaning behind cover: do not stand still facing a corner.
