Cable Buster

**Cable Buster** is the main antagonist of Project Readjusted 2.

## Appearance

**Cable Buster**, as the fourth and final variant of Buster, has a few changes to his overall look. For instance, he is more slender, while his original counterpart is more stubby. His torso is thin and his head is smaller. His ears are more upwards and his top hat is smaller as well. His cheeks are wider, his snout is shorter, his eye sockets are more wide and separated, and his eyebrows are less thick. He has a gaping jaw with multitude set of crooked, sharp teeth. As his name suggests, he has gray metal cables pouring and tangled all over his body. He also has a right black eye and white pupil and a left eye with a green iris that can also turn black.

## Behavior

### Movement

**Cable Buster** begins in CAM 01, starting with three stages, being off-camera, appearing in the room, and close to the camera. He will then decide which one of the two pathways to go towards the player’s Office.

* The Office left doorway route, in which he will go to CAM 03 and to CAM 05.
* The Office window route, where he goes to CAM 06 and to CAM 07.

It should be noted that each camera he is in has two stages, one where he is far away, and one where he is near the screen. He’ll also speak to the player, whenever he moves to an another room, usually threatening the player. He sounds louder as he progressively gets closer to the Office.

### Defense

**Cable Buster** is able to be stalled; by using the monitor to track his location and viewing whatever camera he is currently in, he will freeze his path to the Office.

In a situation where **Cable Buster** is on CAM 05 or CAM 07 at his second stage, he'll say a random day of the week repeatedly, excluding Saturday and Sunday. The player must use the appropriate show tape .mp3 file on CAM 01 and click the sound icon to reset him back to said camera. He will automatically be on his third stage when sent back.

If the player fails to lure him away from the Office, **Cable Buster** will jumpscare the player. Playing the incorrect tape will not cause him to move back. If he disappears from CAM 07, then he'll appear in the window, staring at the player and giving them a few seconds before his attack.

### Strategy

Camera-stalling **Cable Buster** will pause his movement timer until the player looks away, although the timer will briefly pause during the process. His movement timer will actually still drain to 0 while being stalled. Without stalling him, he can take 40-60 seconds to arrive at one of the aforementioned cameras.

Prior to the patch in version 2.5.3, Buster was faster, as he takes 30-50 seconds to Office. This could unfortunately result in him appearing before the Speaker recharges, which takes 42 seconds after use. His timer won’t pause after looking away from the camera he’s in, and can only be stalled while the player is staring at him.
