How do you remove a clone?
Open Settings / Controls and find the action assigned to removing or cancelling your placed clone. Return to a private room, create one clone, then press that mapped action once while no menu or chat field has focus.
If the figure disappears for you but remains for another player, treat it as a synchronization or display problem rather than a control problem. Rejoin the room before changing random keys.
Identify the object before troubleshooting
Three different things can look like the same “clone” in a busy stage.
A deliberate decoy that still behaves as a game object. The removal action should affect it.
A normal shadow attached to your character or scenery. Clone controls will not remove it.
A visual remnant that remains after the game state changed. Rejoining or restarting the round is more useful than repeated inputs.
Safe step-by-step removal
['Use this order so you do not overwrite a working binding or confuse a room issue with a local issue.']
Check the current binding
Open the in-game control screen and note the exact action. Updates, layouts, and personal rebinding can change the displayed key or button.
Test in a private room
Create one clone, stop moving, close chat and menus, and press the mapped action once. Watch whether the object vanishes and whether the action prompt reacts.
Reset the room state
If the clone remains, leave and rejoin the room. If only one player still sees it, restart that client before changing controls.
Verify files only if repeated
Use Steam file verification when the issue survives a fresh room and a full restart. Avoid deleting saves or configuration files as a first step.
When the clone still will not disappear
A repeated failure is usually easier to diagnose by checking scope: one player, one room, or every session. Record a short clip showing the control screen and the stuck object before reporting it.
- Confirm Steam has finished updating to version 3.0.0.
- Disable overlays or input remappers temporarily if the action never registers.
- Try the same action with the default control preset, but save your custom layout first.
- Report the room type, map, role, version, and whether other players see the same object.
Version 3.0.0 and why old key advice can fail
The official Steam news feed listed update 3.0.0 as the latest game update when checked on July 20, 2026. It adds the Greece map; the previous 2.8.0 update added Death Burger. Earlier update 2.6.0 included a clone-collision fix while hidden, showing that clone behavior can change between builds.
This site does not distribute the game or installers. Use Steam for the current build and patch notes, and treat any fixed-key claim as provisional unless it matches your in-game Controls screen.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the clone come back?
A new placement, a round transition, or a synchronization problem can make it appear again. Test in a private room and compare what each player sees.
Is the dark shape always a clone?
No. It may be ordinary character or scenery lighting. Move the camera and compare whether the shape follows lighting rather than clone controls.
Should I reinstall the game?
Not first. Recheck the binding, rejoin the room, restart the client, and verify Steam files before considering a reinstall.
