Steam vents occur near points of interest, including Secret Shops, Haunts and the Mid-Boss. A hero standing in one is hidden visually from enemies but visible to allies. The vent blocks items and abilities that require line of sight or a hero target, such as Seven’s ultimate and Knockdown, and blocks Graves’s weapon autoaim.

The vent grants a regeneration boost of 3 + 0.0025 × maximum health. Dealing damage or applying an effect to an enemy hero reveals the occupant, as does an enemy hero entering the same vent. Taking damage alone does not reveal them, although the information card for certain crowd-control effects remains visible.
