Hello Crew!

Everyone knows we thieves can be a superstitious lot and our crew is no exception. Today, we’re diving into the Trinket system, a key feature that lets each thief carry unique charms to turn the tide of any heist.


Trinkets

During your time in Monaco, you and your crew will work to unlock four trinket abilities per character. Each trinket provides additional power and specialization, but as with all good things in life, power isn’t free. Equipping these trinkets costs a bit of your base health, so choosing wisely is key. Let’s take a closer look into the trinket abilities of Jobbie, our favorite little robot sidekick!

Jobbie’s core ability is teleportation. He can zip through all visible areas including windows, over furniture, and even through prison cell doors to escape the job undetected. Additional trinket abilities for Jobbie include:

• The GPU Array: Granting x4 teleporting speed.
  
• The Cardboard Box: Causes you to appear invisible without taking damage.
  
• The Worm: Infecting electronics with a deadly virus.
  
• The Wifi Extender: Significantly increases your teleporting range, which is particularly useful when navigating through replayed levels.
  

These trinket abilities are just the beginning as each master thief has a ton of variation to fit different play styles and to suit the challenges of each level. It will be up to you and your crew to figure out which trinkets are best on every heist!




Diamonds are a Thief’s Best Friend

Trinkets can be unlocked by collecting diamonds earned from completing missions quickly, along with bonus objectives like gathering all of the coins and escaping a job undetected. Use your trinkets wisely in the Hard Truth (seed-locked campaign levels) as you can only earn one diamond per level. But the real source of diamonds comes when jumping into the Unreliable Narrator mode, where the levels are shuffled ensuring no two heists play out the same way.


Get ready to experiment with a variety of trinkets as luck will have it when our upcoming co-op demo releases on February 20th ahead of Steam Next Fest. It's almost time to pocket your rewards in the city of Monaco!
