What does the baby do in Squid Game X?

The latest Squid Game X update has introduced a newborn baby as a surprise contestant. Before the beginning of the deadly minigames, the infant is handed to one of the players, who has to take care of it. It puts you at a significant disadvantage in most of the contests. However, surviving with the baby doubles your prize money, making it an appealing challenge.

Here's everything you need to know about the baby, including its provided benefits and drawbacks in Squid Game X.

Role of the baby in Roblox Squid Game X

Whenever a player gets the baby, they are presented with a golden opportunity to win double the original cash prize. However, for that to happen, they must keep the newborn with them through all the minigames. Dropping it at any point during the gameplay means losing the free double earnings boost.

Moreover, although the baby doubles your earnings at the end, it puts you at a disadvantage. Your speed and jump distance are lowered as long as you hold the infant. So, you'll have a much harder time trying to complete Red Light, Green Light, and evading attackers during Lights Out.

The baby is also quite noisy. In the Hide & Seek minigame, it occasionally cries and alerts seekers about your location. Similarly, when you're a seeker, the newborn starts wailing when you strike an opponent with a knife. This alerts the other hiders about your approach.

If you have the bonus-inducing baby, other players will do their utmost to eliminate you and get it for themselves. Try inviting and allying with friends to increase your survival chances and eventually reach the Sky Squid Game finale.
