Effect Explained
Party Popper's effect is Machine-triggered Twisted detection: when you start a Machine, nearby Twisteds are highlighted for 5 seconds.
The refresh trick: getting on and off a Machine repeatedly refreshes the highlight — effectively on-demand Twisted radar whenever you want it.
Where it shines: - Solo runs: no distractor means you're on your own — Party Popper watches your surroundings. - Tricky floors: hard Twisted combos, small maps, fast Twisteds, and Blackouts. - Dead-end Machines: the highlight reveals whether a Twisted (especially ranged ones) is lurking. - Low-stat Toons: low Stealth, low Stamina, and low Movement Speed Toons benefit from knowing where threats are before they commit. - Research hunting (Rodger): find and encounter specific Twisteds. - Wall-sight awareness: check Machines near map center to see if a teammate is being chased through walls — useful for backup distractors.
The limits: it only highlights a small radius (useless for far-away Twisteds), it's redundant with Brightney/Vee highlighting abilities, and it's not recommended for distractors (they rarely extract). It doesn't highlight inactive Blot hands (but does highlight Blot himself).
