Residence Massacre Barricades, Generator & Power

Barricades and power separate clean clears from lobby respawns in Residence Massacre. The Mutant on Night 1 breaks planks; the Stalker on Night 2 double-taps windows during blizzards; Night 3 trips fuses while both monsters pressure. This guide is the mechanical backbone paired with Camera Setup — vision without planks still loses, and perfect planks without generator still black out monitors.

Created by MisterGamer_67 / Tea Studio (Place 14437001043), the loop has stayed consistent since August 2023 — economy now uses Coins (formerly TIX, August 2026 rename).

Barricade fundamentals

Plank placement

Approach door/window frame with hammer equipped. Use primary action on empty plank slots until boards lock. Partial placement shows visually loose wood — monsters target loose boards first.

Priority order (matches Night 1):

1. Main front door
2. Kitchen exterior window
3. Piano / living room window
4. Garage side door
5. Interior choke doors only if surplus planks

Hammer repair loop

When a board breaks:

1. Camera caller names location — requires Camera Setup.
2. Hammer player path clears — sprint per Controls.
3. Hold repair until full — half repair equals wasted time on Night 2+.
4. Floater delivers planks without blocking hammer animation.

Hammer audio masks Stalker cues — mute music, not radio.

Plank economy

• Daylight: collect 6+ planks staged on interior route (hall outside kitchen).
• Night: runner fetches, never hoards at generator.
• Night 3: interior planks for choke if exterior compromised.

Generator and gas cans

Generator powers lights and camera hub. No power = blind Night 3.

Fueling protocol

1. Interact on generator body to pour gas can.
2. Animation locks player — call “fueling” before starting.
3. Ideal fuel windows: blizzard lull on Night 2, Phase 1 calm on Night 3.
4. Never fuel during peak unless fuse already tripped and lights dead.

Gas can staging

Night	Minimum cans	Pre-night pour
Night 1	2	1 full
Night 2	3	2 full
Night 3	3	2 full

Hide cans along hammer runner path — not behind ladder at west camera.

Fuse box

Overload events blow fuses — especially camera load + blizzard on Night 2/3.

Symptoms:

• Lights instant off.
• Monitors black or static.
• Radio may continue — do not confuse with fuel issue.

Fix order (verify on current patch via Updates):

1. Announce “fuse.”
2. Interact fuse box to flip breaker.
3. Confirm lights return.
4. Fuel if generator icon still low.

Power player owns this — hammer player should not abandon door during fuse trip unless interior breach.

Radio usage

Toggle radio on during prep. Audio layers:

• Mutant roar timing (Night 1)
• Stalker scratch/static (Night 2)
• Transition cues into memories like Mansion Incident

Turn off Roblox music, not radio. Mobile players excel at radio listening while PC hammer repairs.

Flashlight discipline

When fuse or fuel fails:

• Equip flashlight tool, toggle per Controls.
• Light interior choke paths for teammates repairing back doors.
• Flick off in lit rooms to save battery if patch enables drain.

Flashlights do not replace generator — they buy seconds during fuse flip.

Role assignment template

Role	Barricade	Power	Notes
Caller	no	no	Camera Setup
Hammer	yes	no	follows caller
Power	no	yes	generator+fuse only
Runner	assists	delivers gas/planks	no monitor time

Fifth player rotates runner or secondary hammer for Night 3.

Night-specific notes

• Night 1 — generator dips mild; learn fuse sound without blizzard noise.
• Night 2 — fuel during lull only; double planks on east/rear.
• Night 3 — fuse trips intentional; pre-call fix order.

Memory prep overlap

• The Bunker — underground sections lack generator; flashlight habits matter.
• Spirit Helper — lighter power stress.
• Mansion Incident — interior doors mimic barricade callouts.

Common failures

• Fuel during peak blizzard.
• Hammer on wrong window while fuse dead — double blindness.
• Interior plank vanity while exterior bare.
• Two power players fueling same tick — wasted animation.
• Ignoring radio because “we have cams.”

Economy tie-in

Clean nights pay more Coins. Repeatable clears beat hunting nonexistent Codes — promo list is empty until Tea Studio publishes rewards.

Master barricades and power before meme-queueing Night 3. The generator hum is the sound of winning.
