Crates, pallets and containers
Pick a stack with uneven heights so your body becomes part of the existing jagged outline.

Scouting guide: inferred from the map title and Steam metadata. Treat these as candidate hiding routes until you verify them in-game.
Classic hiding guide
dl_hideout should reward hard edges, machinery shadows and repeated containers. Keep your route low and close to stacked objects.
Pipe and machine shadows
Long shadows from pipes and machines hide edge highlights better than bright floor lanes.
Catwalk rail silhouettes
A narrow pose can blend with railings if the hunter sees you from below or across the room.
Playtest setup
- 1
Open the map in a private lobby and walk one full hunter route before choosing a spot.
- 2
Screenshot three candidate areas: repeated props, deep shadows and a landmark-side clutter zone.
- 3
Use the Camouflage Studio to match the local colour and check whether your outline survives from hunter distance.
- 4
Run one hunter sweep with a friend. If they find you in under 15 seconds, move one prop row deeper or switch angle.
Hunter check
A good spot survives the first centerline scan, a side-angle pass and one close flashlight-style inspection. Fail any one of those and mark it as a risky trick spot, not a staple.
