How to Send an SOS
On the map, press and hold the red SOS button until the deliberate hold completes. STALKR creates a panic incident and attempts to alert the active Crew; it does not contact public emergency services.
Steps
- Select the intended Crew.
- Press and hold the red SOS button.
- Keep holding until the action completes.
How this works
SOS reaches the active Crew and nobody else. It does not contact public emergency services, and it does not reach your other Crews or the watchers of a Journey.
The press-and-hold is deliberate: releasing early cancels the trigger rather than sending a partial alert.
Delivery needs the network. STALKR reports when it could not reach the service, and the SOS is not queued — a failed SOS is a failed SOS rather than a delayed one.
SOS is presented as a Pro safety capability in the subscription UI, and recipients still need notification permission and delivery for an alert to appear on their device.
What happens next
A successful incident appears to the Crew through Crew events and notifications, carrying the position it was triggered at.
Common problems
- Releasing early cancels the trigger.
- Without connectivity, STALKR reports failure and does not queue the SOS.
- Members of your other Crews are not alerted; SOS is scoped to the active Crew.
