Destructoid has published a guide covering the persistent killers in Welcome to the Game 3, a dark-web-themed horror game, explaining how each one is triggered and how players can avoid or survive their encounters. The guide is aimed at helping players navigate the game's hacking and video-trading mechanics without falling victim to rival hackers who set threats loose on them.

Each killer has a distinct trigger and threat level, ranging from low to low-medium, and requires a specific countermeasure, such as avoiding certain websites, maintaining stamina, or keeping particular items in inventory. The guide also offers general survival tips, including switching off the in-game computer before going outside, preparing supplies within the first in-game hour, and using various in-game platforms such as VirtMesh, DarkDrop and A.C.R.S to gather resources and intelligence.

– Bomb Maker (low threat): only activates if you visit his website; avoid clicking it to prevent the encounter entirely.
– Breather (low threat): triggers near the dead-drop pickup point; keep stamina full and retreat to the motel parking lot to escape.
– Cletus (low-medium threat): only attacks if you're out of meth supply; keep one baggie on hand at all times, sourced via A.C.R.S and DAREdash.
– General tips: turn off the computer before leaving, prep supplies in the first hour, and use ShadowFetch, A.C.R.S and CryptChat to manage threats and requests.
