Subspace Tripmites — Entity Guide

Subspace Tripmites are grouped chase entities added in v0.2.16 (June 18, 2026) during the 10M visit milestone patch. Inspired by the Roblox Subspace Tripmine gear, each Tripmite resembles an insect with pink crystal mines on its back. They combine chase pressure with cloak ambushes and a lethal explosion finisher—unique among B-tier threats.

Learn them alongside other June additions like SourceVoid and Kool Killer. Full roster context: all entities.

While idle, Tripmites cloak—their bodies become nearly invisible while stationary, waiting for players to walk past. This punishes autopilot routing during Collect scrap runs. Sweep corners with Radar audio cues and announce "cloaked Tripmite" when spotted before it aggros.

On Fog and Blackout special trials, cloaked Tripmites are especially dangerous near chokepoints. Assign the Radar carrier to lead, not the Capture point holder.

Once a Tripmite spots you, it chases like a standard pursuer. When it enters melee range, it stops moving and ticks for roughly 3 seconds before exploding—killing itself and instantly downing anyone inside the blast radius.

Counter: trigger aggro at safe distance, then sprint perpendicular before the tick completes. Do not stand still shooting; the AOE is generous. Speed Coil is excellent for guaranteed escape if stamina is low.

Tripmites count as grouped entities—multiple can spawn on higher player counts. Stack defensive items when voting maps with narrow halls like Service Tunnels. Metal Bat stuns before explosion windup can buy time for teammates to clear the radius.
