Understanding the Basics of Survive Homelander
Survive Homelander is an asymmetric hide-and-hunt game on Roblox, set within the iconic Vought Tower. One player takes on the role of a powerful supe, like Homelander, while the remaining players act as survivors. The primary goal for survivors is to outlast the hunter until the match timer runs out, using stealth, teamwork, and strategic movement. For the hunter, the objective is simple: eliminate every survivor before they can escape.

Survivor's Playbook: How to Outsmart Homelander
As a survivor, your primary focus is evasion and endurance. You don't need to defeat Homelander; you just need to survive. This requires a keen awareness of your surroundings, smart movement, and effective use of available tools.
Stay Hidden and Break Line of Sight
The most crucial survival tactic is to avoid being seen. Use corners, obstacles, and different rooms within Vought Tower to break the hunter's line of sight. Never stand in open areas for too long.
Master Crouching for Stealth
On PC, pressing Ctrl allows you to crouch. This significantly reduces your noise footprint and makes you harder to detect by Homelander's Super Vision. Use crouching when moving through risky areas or when the hunter is nearby.
Strategic Use of Phones and Recording
The game encourages using phones and recording. However, recording leaves you vulnerable. Only attempt to record when you have sufficient cover, an escape route, or teammates nearby to distract the hunter.
Work with Teammates
Teamwork is highlighted as a key survival tool. While grouping up can make you an easier target for Homelander's Heat Vision, splitting up can also divide the hunter's attention. Communicate and cooperate to apply pressure and create opportunities for escape.
Play the Timer, Not the Hunter
Remember, your goal is to survive until the timer ends. Avoid direct confrontations or risky plays unless absolutely necessary. Prioritize escaping and finding new hiding spots over trying to "fight" the hunter.
New players often make the mistake of running in straight lines or staying in one hiding spot for too long after being spotted. Always rotate to a new area once your current location becomes compromised.
Hunter's Dominance: How to Win as a Supe
If you are chosen as the supe, your role shifts from survival to relentless pursuit. Your objective is to eliminate all survivors before the match timer expires. Homelander possesses powerful abilities that make him a formidable threat.
Hunter Role & Objective
- Core Role: One player becomes the unstoppable supe.
- Win Condition: Eliminate every survivor before the timer ends.
- Strategy: Apply constant pressure to force survivors out of hiding.
Key Hunter Abilities
- Flight: Rapid movement across the tower, closing distances quickly.
- Heat Vision: Ranged attack to punish exposed survivors.
- Super Vision: Tracking ability to locate hidden players, countered by crouching.
Use Flight to patrol large areas and quickly respond to survivor movements. Employ Super Vision to scan common hiding spots and corridors. Don't forget to utilize Heat Vision to flush out survivors from cover or finish them off from a distance.
Hunter Tier List (Early Access)
During the open testing phase, the hunter pool is limited, but understanding their strengths is crucial.

| Stormfront | Early Access; 1,500 Credits or gamepass | Alternative supe option after mastering base hunter loop | Main alternative, but the cost makes Homelander the better initial pick for most players. |

Navigating Vought Tower & Key Spots
Vought Tower is the battleground for Survive Homelander. Knowing its layout, important rooms, and potential hiding spots can significantly increase your chances of survival or success as a hunter.
Vought Tower Navigation Checklist:
- Familiarize yourself with common routes between floors.
- Identify tight corridors and open spaces where Homelander has an advantage.
- Locate rooms with multiple exits for quick escapes.
- Memorize key hiding spots that offer good cover.
- Understand the impact of different zones on noise and visibility.
The best hiding spots are often those that are out of direct line of sight from common patrol paths and have at least two escape routes. Avoid clustering with other survivors, as this makes you an easy target for area-of-effect attacks.
