Key Equipment
X-Taser
Stuns anomalies temporarily. Does not kill — buys time to escape or reposition. Starts with 5 uses at Level 1, 6 at Level 2+. At Level 3, regenerates 1 use each round.
Deployable Camera
New in Harlow's Update (Level 2+). A placeable CCTV camera you can position anywhere in the hospital. Provides portable surveillance for tracking anomalies and patient movements.
Tips
- Tasers stun but do not kill — use them to escape, not to fight.
- Place Deployable Cameras at chokepoints and hallway intersections.
- Level 2 is the biggest power spike — the camera changes how you play.
- If you spot a Ghost or Masked Figure, stun and retreat to a safe room.
- Best paired with a Surgeon or Secret Agent on your team for offense.
Security vs. Similar Options
Security sits in an uncomfortable price bracket. It costs real money without reaching S tier, and what it buys is control rather than sustain. Before committing 1,250 Animal Coins, compare it against the two other classes people usually weigh it against — one cheaper utility pick and one premium combat pick.
| Class | Cost | Tier | What it actually gives you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security | 1,250 Animal Coins | B | Start with X-Taser and Deployable Camera (L2+) |
| Firefighter | 1,100 Animal Coins | B | Start with a rechargeable Fire Extinguisher, +1 max inventory |
| Secret Agent | 320 Robux | A | Start with a Gun and Scanner |
Read those side by side and the trade-off is clear. Firefighter costs less and eventually becomes fire-immune, while Secret Agent costs Robux but brings a tool that permanently removes threats. Security sits between them: good control, no sustain, no finishing power.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- +Crowd control from the very start of a shift, with no trip to the shop required.
- +Level 2 adds a placeable camera, turning you into a mobile surveillance hub for the whole team.
- +Level 3 regenerates one Taser charge every round, so your defensive tool never fully runs dry.
Weaknesses
- −Pricey for a B-tier pick: 1,250 Animal Coins buys no sanity mechanic at all.
- −Nothing here heals or restores sanity — you still depend on coffee, sinks, or a teammate.
- −The Taser only stuns. Threats that do not react to being stunned need a different answer.
Getting Value Out of Level 2
Level 1 Security is honestly underwhelming — five Taser uses and nothing else is not worth the price tag. Everything changes at Level 2, because the Deployable Camera is not just a personal tool; it is information the entire team can act on. Treat hitting Level 2 as the real purchase decision, and plan your upgrade path around getting there rather than stopping at Level 1.
- Place cameras where corridors converge. The value comes from seeing an anomaly choose a route, not from watching an empty room.
- Do not waste charges on threats that ignore stuns. Some anomalies barely react, and the full breakdown is on our Taser vs Gun page.
- Carry sanity support yourself. Security never restores sanity, so coffee or a Surgeon teammate is what keeps long shifts survivable.
Security Class — FAQ
How much does the Security class cost?
Security costs 1,250 Animal Coins. It is a mid-priced B-tier class, sitting between the cheap starter picks and premium options like Surgeon at 2,500 Animal Coins.
Can the X-Taser kill anomalies?
No. The X-Taser only stuns, buying you time to reposition or retreat. Only certain tools permanently remove a threat, and that difference is why some encounters need a teammate with heavier equipment.
What changed for Security in Harlow's Update?
Harlow's Update reworked Security so it gains a Deployable Camera at Level 2. That camera is now the main reason to pick the class — before the rework it was largely just Taser charges.
Is Security better than Secret Agent?
They solve different problems. Secret Agent brings permanent removal and costs Robux, making it a stronger solo carry. Security brings repeatable control and portable surveillance, which scales better when you are coordinating with a team.
