House of The Locust Item Tier List

Item Utility and Tactical Hierarchy

In Roblox House of The Locust, inventory coordination is key to overcoming the Escaped badge's winRatePercentage, which read 0.02 on 2026-10-06 (and 0.02 on 2026-10-05) with 1,283,469 Escaped awards on the 2026-10-06 read. The field is rounded, so treat those as dated snapshots rather than one fixed figure. The tiers below sort tools into three functional groups: S-Tier Escape Tools, A-Tier Navigation Utility, and B-Tier Consumables based on cross-checked community walkthroughs.

The S-Tier tools—Electronic Keycard, House / Exit Key, and Wire Cutter—are central to unlocking doors and the green EXIT gate. The Wire Cutter is released by the house puzzle, the Keycard placement depends on the build (it lay in the house in the runs observed on 2026-09-01 and 2026-09-19, while older builds and older guides report it carried by The Locust), and the House / Exit Key is found in randomized cabinets. Note that public guides dispute whether the House / Exit Key is used at the final exit or on interior locks.

The Flashlight occupies the A-Tier position for navigating dark corridors. Community advice suggests toggling it off in dark hallways to avoid highlighting your avatar. The B-Tier Medkit offers situational healing, though player survival primarily depends on avoiding monster encounters entirely.

Multiplayer Inventory Allocation & Role Strategy

In cooperative multiplayer sessions with up to 50 players per server, teams can divide puzzle and item roles: assign runners to solve the 3-color cube puzzle and search cabinets, while others monitor The Locust's movements.

Item Synergy & Scavenging Efficiency

When coordinating during intense survival sessions, understand tool acquisition requirements. Solving the 3-color cube puzzle drops the Wire Cutter from the starting area ceiling rope, while the Keycard requires monitoring The Locust.

Using the Flashlight helps spot puzzle cubes, while extinguishing it helps maintain light discipline in open halls. In multiplayer servers, distribute items among teammates to mitigate wipeout risks during monster encounters.
