This guide will be showing you some of the most important things and details that you should know in American Theft 80s.
The flashlight isn’t just for better vision
Due to lighting, you don’t always feel the need to use the flashlight. But it doesn’t just illuminate dark rooms, When turned on the game will briefly highlight steal-able items, often revealing things you never saw or noticed before.
Extra controls for improved movement
If you press caps lock, you Toggle walking instead of jogging as the default. Has no real purpose but if you want to immerse yourself in the game more, you can
If you press the middle mouse button, you swap the shoulder camera side.
Very useful for seeing around corners from certain angles, In first person mode this is even more useful as it allows you to lean from side to side. Meaning you can peek around corners if you insist on playing the game in its hardest form (That being, first person mode with hard mode on)
Rain does more than you think
Oddly enough, this mechanic is not yet described in game. Whenever it starts to rain you should use this as an opportunity to be a bit more ballsy in your approach, Rain dampens all sound you make, so prying open windows and general movement within a house is a lot “quieter”. There is no set way to trigger rain, so use it when you can.
If there’s a doorbell, use it
If you cant quite see through to where a tenant is then you can always ring the doorbell to quickly scan them and find out, to anyone who played thief simulator this will feel very strange but is a good change. Not all tenants are going to fall for the electrician disguise, so this may sometimes be your best option. As for tenants with no doorbell outside their house? You can either throw a bottle around the house and hope they investigate or just bite the bullet and buy Intel (Though I much prefer to go in blind and hope for the best, more tense that way)
You can clear the house in one swoop
This one is interesting, each house has a “thieving radius” where the game considers you on the property, if you park your car within this range you can actually unload everything into your car and go back into the house to steal more. This can be used to achieve S! Rank on every single robbery you do, giving you the most XP. I used this method to rob *EVERYTHING* In a mansion in one swoop (Dodging guards over a long period of time, obviously) But it was incredibly satisfying.
Use this early game to level up faster as improved stamina and Backpack space are very useful.
