Signal → what to do
- Distorted static right after you open a door means it has appeared. Head for a closet.
- A high-pitched hiss means A-60 is close. Stay quiet.
- You hear a burst of static that quickly fades, but you didn't open a door? It's probably background audio meant to fool you.
- You won't hear a hiss right when A-60 appears. The close-up sound only starts once it begins moving.
- The lights never flicker. Don't wait for them to; listen instead.
A Closet Is Your Best Bet
Hide in the nearest closet and wait for A-60 to pass. It appears behind you and rushes forward toward the closets ahead. It only damages players it can see, using raycasting.
1. Open a door and listen for the first second. You'll hear A-60 as soon as it appears. 2. Hear static? Get in a closet. The room where it appears always has closets. 3. Stay inside until the hiss fades. 4. Get out and open the next door. After A-60, I always check for a closet before opening each door.
No closet nearby? You still have options. A-60's raycast range is limited, so you can just get far enough away from it. Vitamins and Starlight Bottles give you a speed boost, and extra health above your max can help you survive a hit without cover.
Where and When It Appears
A-60's home is The Rooms. The Rooms returned to the game as a Vision on October 2, 2026, and you can now enter only through the Visions tab. Attacks usually don't start until room A-060, so you can collect Gold and supplies without a worry.
A-60 usually appears after door A-60, but sometimes it shows up earlier. Once in a while, it appears as early as room A-001. It has a chance to appear every time you open a door, but only when you enter one of four room types. It can appear in the Locker Room, Three-Locker Room, Catwalk Rooms, and Projector Room.
But it can't appear in the Break Room, Storage Room, Plant Room, or Four-locker Room, even if they have closets. So here's a simple rule: if you open a door into a room with no closets, you don't have to worry about A-60.
A-60 and the Crucifix
The Crucifix works against A-60 and earns you the Red Mist badge. When the Crucifix is used, A-60 turns white and blue, and its white eyes disappear. The badge is rare, so don't miss your chance if you see A-60 with a Crucifix in your hand.
A-60, Modifiers, and A-90
With the Room For More Modifier, A-60 can appear first and sometimes replace Rush. The Rooms Modifiers were removed in The Archives Update, but later brought back in older versions. A-60 won't appear in The Greenhouse with Room For More enabled.
A-90 is a special case. Sometimes it appears along with A-60, making A-60 move much slower for the rest of the run: about 75 studs per second instead of 125.
How A-60 Tricks You
- Believing that static without opening a door means it's A-60. It's probably a fake sound, but static can also play when you open a door, so there's no 100% guarantee.
- Waiting for the lights to flicker like they do for Rush. A-60 doesn't affect the lights.
- Counting on the exit room to save you. Because of a bug, A-60 sometimes appears in the room with the exit door.
- Planting a Lotus and relaxing. After you revive through it, A-60 can appear right at the next door, and you could lose your checkpoint.
- Thinking 100 health is enough. A-60 deals 125 damage, so only players with more than 100 health can survive a hit.
Where the Name Came From
The name comes from where it appears: Starlight says it doesn't know what to call "the red one," but A-60 usually attacks around room A-60. A-60 looks like a distorted scarlet face with a wide grin in a red fog. It has two pairs of eyes and glows bright red when it rushes.
A-60 and Bash: What Changed
In The Archives Update, A-60 was renamed Bash. Bash is a complete rework inspired by A-60, not the same monster in a new outfit. Bash has a new design, and instead of killing you instantly, it hits and sets you on fire.
The damage numbers are pretty different. A-60 deals 125 damage. Bash deals less than 100 damage on contact, so you can survive it without extra health.
But A-60 hasn't gone anywhere. The Rooms returned as a Vision, and A-60 is back there. So there are now two red Rushers in the game: A-60 in The Rooms and Bash in The Archives. My advice: don't use the same strategy for both. A closet or distance will save you from A-60, while Bash can also be blocked by barriers if you're at full health.
A-60 vs. A-120: How to Tell Them Apart
A-120 is A-60's neighbor in The Rooms. A-120 is quieter: its sound is like a soft, ominous metallic ringing. When you open a door, you can hear static and drumming.
A-60 is faster than A-120 and disappears sooner. A-120 arrives more slowly, so you have more time to reach a closet. But you have to stay inside until the drumming stops completely, because A-120 can bounce back.
One more difference: extra health from a Starlight Bottle can help you survive A-60 without cover, but it won't work against A-120. I save my Starlight Bottle for A-60 when I'm in The Rooms.
What to Bring to The Rooms for A-60
The Rooms get darker the farther you go, and by A-150 it's completely dark. It's easier to hear A-60 in the dark when you have a good light source. A Flashlight lights your path, and Batteries for it show up often in The Rooms. A Shakelight is a backup light you can buy in the starting room for 10 Gold.
The Shakelight used to make so much noise that it could drown out A-60 in older versions. I still use a regular Flashlight as my main light and keep the Shakelight for when the Batteries run out.
If you bring another player into The Rooms, you can get a Glitch Fragment. It gives you +77 max health, so an A-60 hit won't be fatal.
Badges and Achievements
A-60 has the Red Mist badge. Use the Crucifix against A-60 to earn it. The badge is in the Crucifix category, and it's hidden and secret, so it doesn't count toward progress. It's hard to get because Red Mist is rare.
The badge text is "DONT ASK WHO A-60 IS," and it's the only achievement whose description has no lowercase letters. The name is a reference to a creepypasta about red fog, while the text is based on the "DON'T ASK WHO JOE IS" meme.
How to Spawn A-60
People ask this a lot. There's no normal way to make it appear: A-60 shows up on its own when you open doors in The Rooms. But A-60 and A-120 are back in the Admin Panel. If you spawn A-60 there, A-90 might show up too, just like in The Rooms.
