if any of you lads see any problems with this guide please do leave a comment :)
this guide goes over all the maps and tools for this game currently.
A friend with VR helped me with this guide, they're a contributor. i'll probably update this when Oliver adds more things to the game. (no guarantee, i will probably forget this exists lol)
some values for items may be off, the prices may have changed since i've made this guide.
i recommend going to the maps in 3 and 4 when the profit is above 6 and the dangers low, that's where i get the most money.
the maps i have shown may look different than yours, every map is randomly generated :)

Tools
1. Flashlight (Completely useless, no map is dark enough to use a flashlight.)
2. Firecrackers (Just use a security camera if you can see one to distract residents.)
3. Hammer (the Hammer can no longer break down doors, it can break windows instantly, works well for knocking out residents in VR)
4. Wrench (Can no longer detach doors, and it cant smash windows, upside is you can detach anything nailed to the ground.)
5 Swag Bag (The biggest thing you can fit in these bags is broken computer towers, you can carry a bit before you cant fit anymore, do not drop the swag bags on PC if you have a lot of objects in them, you will not be able to put them back on your toolbelt.)

Wearables
1. Head Flashlight (Useless like the flashlight)
2. Lampshade (I haven't found a use for this.)

Attachables
1. Portable Airbags (Useless, the only map you can use it on is the 2 story houses)
2. Rocket Boosters (Probably useless? i haven't had a use for these.)

Climbables
1. Wooden Ladder (Upgrade to the climbing axe as soon as you can, this is basically useless, it's only use is on the 2 story houses.)
2. Climbing Axe (You can climb anything with this, but in VR, you need 2 to climb walls, i use it for the casino strategy. its basically only good on the casino map.)

Specials
1. Tactical Banana (Haven't really found a use for these either, tried to use them in the casino vault.)

top: bungalow
bottom: house
don't go to the houses if you want to make money (the most i've made out of these houses is 21,000 and that's when i stole EVERYTHING.) look at 3 and 4 if you want to make the most money.

These houses are kinda just meh? you can get goofy with your friends in them but that's really it,
the only really valuable thing you can steal from these places are the small safes in the attics. (safes are 2000, if there's a big safe, they're 4500)

There's a second small safe in the garage of the house, the solar panels on the roof are worth 2000 each.

there is a reference to a very smoothbrained man in the attics of both houses, it's worth 147.

here's a list of all the shops that can spawn in the mall (that ive seen)
jewelery store with a small safe (you can wiggle the displays and the jewelery comes out, i don't think that's intended. a few of them are worth 400-650)
clothing shop
hunting shop
dave's bakery
small barbershop
3 tech stores
2 game/DND stores?
3 musical instrument stores
2 fitness stores
2-3 atms spawn at the front of the actual mini mall if you're lucky, there will probably be a guard or civillian on them though. (worth 25k each if you have a wrench)

Either a tech store or an instrument store can spawn on the left of the mall, same with an arcade or a laundromat next to it.

the tech is worth a bit, the most expensive item i got from the tech store was a gaming laptop worth 800.

The instruments are worth a bit? the most expensive item i got from the music stores was a case worth 850, i could not steal the giant piano...

there's 2 safes at top of the main tech store with 3 wads of cash on the big safe.
1 small safe in the music store, i got lucky with mine and got state documents under the stairs to the 2nd floor. (i think state documents can spawn in both stores.)

(this requires at most dave's van if you want to make the most money, but you can use anything above a bike)
don't bother stealing cars even if there's more than one of you, it is not worth it, the 67,000 dollars may look enticing, but it took me 30 real minutes trying to get one of them into my van.

in the reception area of the mechanics building, there are 3 wads of cash on the desk and a small safe below it. (cash is 999 each and the safe is 2000)
a big safe spawns in the corner of the smaller building to the left of the mechanics, but usually NPCs spawn in that building, so i don't recommend it.

there's also a guaranteed car spawn and ATV spawn in the garages next to the smaller building.

if you can, steal every bike you see, ATVs are not worth stealing because they're 800 dollars when bikes are usually 6,000 to like 24,000. (modern looking green and red ones are 24k while normal ones are 9k, there's also old bikes worth 6k)

you can take all the car parts if you want, its basically free (time wise) if you have the swag bags and some of them are worth a bit. (the motorbike seats are like 200-800-1500 dollars, but you cant put them in swag bags.)

will update when i have more knowledge :)

(you can do this map with the tuk tuk pickup and everything above it, but i recommend dave's van and above)
i recommend taking a wrench for the casino, so you can disable cameras,, its also the main way to make money if you cant get to the vault on this map, read the ATM paragraph.

Don't bother stealing the slot machines or any of the poker tables, the slot machines are 800 dollars each, ATMs are 30x their price and are easier to steal.

A small version of the eiffel tower and a helicopter spawn on the roof, i couldn't steal either of them but they're cool, i guess? (apparently you can steal the helicopter with the pickup truck, but 2 ATMs are basically the same price as a helicopter, and are easier to steal, it's also not a guaranteed spawn, helicopter is 63k.)

i highly recommend taking the ATMs and the chip dispensers (ATMs are worth 25,000 while chip dispensers are worth 16,000) if you want to make money real fast, i've seen 2 guards patrol from the back to the next to the atms, so be careful of that.

The VAULT on the other hand, if you want to get to the vault quickly, i recommend TokenPuertoRican's guide to get into the vault.

will also update if i get more knowledge

Section Under Construction
