As long as you don’t destroy them with cutters (or similar,) vent covers can be replaced quite easily as well. This means you need to be smart about keeping any escape routes or item stashes concealed.Īs mentioned, holes in walls can most easily be concealed with a poster (created by combining a magazine with duct tape.) Just remove and replace it whenever necessary. Somehow, with their superhuman videogame AI, they’ll trace it back to you. Guards in The Escapists will notice things like open vents, holes in fences and walls, or anything else seriously out of place around the prison. Anywhere that already houses a prisoner stash (one of those grey lockboxes) is likely to be good choice. This might be a little alcove where you’ve dug through an out-of-the-way piece of wall and covered the gap with a poster (magazine and duct tape,) or in some vents you’ve managed to unscrew with a screwdriver. If your name is mentioned, book it to your desk and take out any offending items (it may be necessary to flush things you can’t carry.) Leaving roll call may draw some heat, but it’s better than losing everything.Īs soon as possible, set yourself up with a safer stash area. In order to keep stuff in there safe, pay attention at roll call for which cells are going to be searched.
While you work on something else though, it may be all you have. The contraband scanner means you won’t be bringing any ‘hot’ items in or out of the laundry room without help. Your stuff will be confiscated, and you’ll probably wind up in solitary confinement for a few days.Įven the early prison levels in The Escapists have contraband scanners here and there, which makes it tricky to carry hot items around with you (unless you can craft a special contraband pouch from foil and duct tape.) Therefore, you need a safe stash. These things are contraband (denoted by their red item text,) which means if you get caught with them in your possession you’re going to be in trouble. Sooner or later you’ll be creating some basic cutters (combine two files and some duct tape) or wandering around with a purchased screwdriver. The problem with plastic utensils is that they’re slow and break incredibly easily. Each one of those can be used to slowly chip away at walls (forks,) the ground (spoons,) and fences (knives.) None of the plastic utensils count as contraband, so you can wander around with as many as you can carry, and stash them without concern. Don’t overlook the usefulness of plastic forks, spoons and knives from the canteen tray either. You can rarely have too many of those items. Look out for things like duct tape, files, wires and magazines.
May as well keep your criminal kills sharp while you’re inside, after all. Don’t be afraid to use your spare time to loot the desks of fellow prisoners. You’ll get nowhere without tools, or items to craft them.
Looks like there’s a handy corridor just behind your prison cell wall … Where are the contraband scanners? Do any areas appear to be poorly guarded? What kind of barriers are standing between you, and freedom? Which times of day do you have to yourself? These are the sorts of questions you should be looking to answer. Follow your daily routine (roll call, meals, gym time, working) for a day or two and take note of where you can go.

The Escapists’ tutorial teaches you extremely useful bits of information, such as how to recognise when fellow prisoners need a favour (which could get you some cash,) or have useful items for sale (the little bag over their heads.) The latter is something you’re likely to be making use of quite a bit.įollow the Routine, But Keep Your Eyes Openīefore you can start figuring out how to escape any of The Escapists’ devious prison complexes, you need to know the layout. I know that sounds really obvious, but you’d be surprised.

The greatest indignity of all: communal eating.Įverything in here is based on the pre-release 0.99 build, so it’s possible that subsequent updates to the game may have changed things slightly (always a risk with guides of this type.) I’ll try to update anything glaring.ĭo the tutorial.
