How it plays

CommunityAs described by two independent community guides (checked 2026-08-16) — not yet verified against official material.

Both guides describe a room with multiple walls and a spider-like robot that latches on and counts down, and both frame the round as hot potato: while the timer runs you can throw it to someone else.

Sportskeeda adds that it goes for whoever is nearest and that corners are harder for it to follow than open ground.

What the official material says

  • OfficialThe official Latin American Spanish text for the "Dodge this!" achievement calls the thrown object "la mecacriatura" — a mechanical creature — where the English wording only says "the device". source ↗
  • OfficialThe v2.0 patch notes list the simulations that were adapted for local play and state that the rest behave the same as they do online; this one is not on that list. source ↗

How this page knows what it knows

The line at the top comes from official text — Steam's own achievement wording and the developers' patch notes. The description of how a round plays comes from two independent community guides that we cross-check against each other; where they disagree, both accounts are printed rather than one being picked. Nobody on this site has played the simulation, and we say so instead of writing tips that sound tested.

If you have played it and something here is wrong, tell us — first-hand corrections are the fastest way this page improves.
