Detailed Mutator Information
The vision range of Afraid of the Dark is highly reduced. Below is an example of what it looks like:
Notice how the Probe lies outside the vision range. This means that it can be attacked and not be able to attack back. Units can only attack if they have vision provided by your camera.
Vision Ranges are listed below:
| Unit/Structure | Vision Range | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Structure | 7 | ![]() |
| Any other structure | 2 | ![]() |
| Unit | 0 | ![]() |
| Camera (Hover to play clip. Please provide time for clip to load.) |
4 + 3(1-{distance to closest unit}/12) | ![]() |
Any units with a Map Boss tag will not be affected by the mutator. These are usually mission-specific units, such as the Artifact Truck on Cradle of Death and Terrazine Harvesters on Mist Opportunities.
Attack wave and Objective ping markers will not be shown on the minimap.
Commander-specific Tips
- Dehaka: Dehaka's Pack Leaders are Map Bosses and therefore retain their regular vision.
- Han/Horner: Horner's Call in the Fleet ability generates its own vision circle as it moves through strafing area.
- Mengsk: Earthsplitter Bombardments provide vision regardless of camera position.
- Raynor: Raynor's Scans can provide temporary vision for the duration of the scan.
- Stukov: Brood Queen's Ocular Symbiote ability increases vision for units.
- Stukov: Units mind-controlled by the Aleksander retain their full vision.
- Zeratul: Afraid of the Dark disables Zeratul's map-wide terrain vision. You may need to use Rally Points to find the Artifact Fragments, shown below:
