No Body No Problem Hide Body Strategy
A practical No Body No Problem hide body strategy: scout the route, pick the container, carry in short legs, clean the trail, and keep a fallback spot.
Quick answer: The strongest hide body strategy is to scout the route before lifting, choose a container you can actually reach, carry in short controlled legs, and clean the path you used. Do not carry the body across the whole map while the timer runs. A decent spot nearby beats a perfect spot on the far side of the location.
The body is a physics object, so the plan has to survive doorways, furniture, and stairs. The official store description says carrying can knock furniture over and that the body can get stuck in narrow corridors. That is the whole problem in one sentence.
Step 1: scout before you lift
Walk the route without the body. Check four things:
- Doorways: can you fit through without turning sideways?
- Stairs: is there a landing where you can reposition?
- Furniture: what will you knock over, and will the sound matter?
- The container: is it open, reachable, and large enough?
A route that looks short on the minimap can be a nightmare with a body in your arms. The scout walk costs ten seconds and saves a minute.
Step 2: pick the container, not the room
A room is not a hiding spot. A container is. The official material names several examples: a car trunk, a dumpster, a closet, a shed, a grill, bushes, and a pool area. Each has a different risk profile.
| Container | Strength | Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Car trunk | Fully enclosed, quick to close | The car itself is obvious; the cop will check it |
| Dumpster | Common, expected, easy to reach | Outdoor, visible from a distance |
| Closet | Indoor, close to the body | Small; the body may not fit cleanly |
| Shed | Out of the main house | A cop can check it in one pass |
| Grill | Unusual, easy to overlook | Small, and the lid may not close |
| Bushes | No door to open | Partial concealment; a UV light can expose residue |
| Pool | Water hides the body | Highly visible area; difficult carry |
The best container is the one the cop is least likely to check and you can reach in time. Those are not always the same. A car trunk in the driveway is easy; a shed at the back of the yard is safer but costs a long carry.
Step 3: carry in short legs
Do not try to cross the entire location in one carry. Move in legs: body to the doorway, drop, open the door, pick up, cross the room, drop, reposition.
Dropping the body is not a failure. It is a reset. The G key exists for a reason. If the body is stuck on a chair leg or wedged in a door frame, drop it, move the obstacle, and try again.
The fastest way through a bad doorway is to drop the body, move the chair, and pick it up again. Wrestling with the physics costs more time than a clean reset.
Step 4: use a scout, not a second carrier
A second suspect can help without touching the body. The scout opens doors, moves furniture, and watches the cop's route. That is more valuable than two people carrying, because the game does not document a two-person carry and two bodies in one doorway create more collisions.
The scout should also know the fallback spot. If the cop turns toward the planned container, the carrier needs a second option immediately.
Step 5: clean the trail you made
The carry leaves a path: drag marks, blood, disturbed furniture. Clean the path, not the whole room. Start at the body's original position, follow the route, and stop at the container. If you clean a random patch in the middle of the floor, you have created a new clue.
The clean evidence guide→ covers the order of operations.
Step 6: leave the area
The body is hidden; now the suspect is the clue. A player standing next to a closed closet, breathing hard, is a beacon. Move to a normal part of the room, put the item bar on hand, and join the conversation.
The best hide is not a perfect container. It is a container the cop walks past because nothing nearby looks wrong.
Fallback spots
Always have a second container. The cop's search route is unpredictable, and a plan that depends on one closet is fragile.
A good fallback is:
- Closer than the primary spot, not farther.
- Already open or easy to open.
- Not directly on the cop's path from the entrance.
If the cop checks the primary spot, the carrier should already be moving the body to the fallback, not arguing about it.
What to do when the body is stuck
The body can wedge into a doorway or catch on furniture. The recovery sequence is:
- Drop the body with G.
- Move the obstructing object.
- Reposition to face the opening.
- Pick up and move in a straight line.
- If it is still stuck, choose a different route.
Do not spend the whole timer on one doorway. A body in a nearby room is better than a body in a doorway when the cop arrives.
A car trunk is the first place a cop checks. Use it when speed matters more than subtlety, or when the cop is on the far side of the map.

FAQ
Where should you hide the body first?
The nearest container you can reach without crossing the cop's path. Speed and a clean route matter more than a perfect hiding place.
Can two players carry the body?
No two-person carry has been documented. A second suspect is more useful as a scout or door opener.
What do you do if the body gets stuck?
Drop it with G, move the obstacle, reposition, and lift again. If it still will not fit, take a different route.
Should you clean the whole room?
No. Clean the trail from the body's original position to the container. Over-cleaning creates a fresh, obvious patch.
Is the car trunk a good hiding spot?
It is fast and fully enclosed, but it is also one of the first places a cop checks. Use it when time is short.
