The Bed Dummy is a usable item that is placed on the player's bed.

Usage[ | ]

The Bed Dummy can be used to cover an escape at night. Place it in your bed at night and the Guards will not set off a lockdown/send the player to solitary when they see the player's cell empty. To remove it, hold [interact] facing the bed (this cannot be done at night).

Does not work when placed on an NPC's bed (Except The Escapists 2). Can only be placed with a pillow and bed sheet already on the bed. Note when a bed dummy is tucked in a bed, players are not able to sleep on it (however, NPCs can).

Do note that using the Bed Dummy does not entirely protect you - if seen by a guard while outside during Lights Out, you will be sent to solitary/a lockdown will ensue nonetheless. Wear a Guard Outfit, Infirmary Overalls or even a Civilian Outfit (TE2) to prevent this.

The Bed Dummy is a very cheap item, so using it to increase a character's opinion is viable. It increases opinion by 4.

Trivia[ | ]

  • In the console/mobile version of TE1, the Bed Dummy is not considered contraband.
  • Guards will not take a bed dummy from a bed when searching for contraband. They will also not interact with it, even if an inmate and a bed dummy are in the same cell.
