The Castle Doctrine Forums

Haha, I guess my name was Charles Sean Molloy last night! BlueMadness, that was by far the scariest experience I've had brute forcing a house (and I've taken down 3 or 4 top houses in the past few weeks). I had just robbed a 120k house and put all the money in tools (this was right after breaking Benny's 30k house apparently). I had a good amount of tools––my recipe is at least 50 saws (for tunneling through the wiring), and equal parts torches, explosives, and ladders. I've been avoiding crowbars lately, they're just too expensive and I figure all power doors can be cut around. So when I saw your canyon my heart sunk for a second, thinking that if the doors were totally surrounded by pits and the power was behind them I'd have no way of getting past. But luckily there was a way to cut in, and I was genuinely surprised when the safe wasn't behind them. Then for your maze. As you can see, I went for all the corners first, so great trickery in your safe placement. Circumnavigating the place and finding nothing was nerve-wracking––I was starting to count my ladders. Overall, a genius house, it's always kinda bittersweet to brute-force my way through such clever designs... ...but the rich must fall.

Seeing all your tools and cash in my totally empty house was hilarious too––1100 water bottles? I stocked up to take down the next top house (50 of all the major tools), but still had 200k left over. So I build a massive dog cage for my wife, then wrote FREE! in steel wall and put the safe as the exclamation point. I want to hear from the first guy who walked into my house and made the easiest 150k ever.

Thanks a lot for posting the videos and explanations, love being able to watch my own run and see the others that came so close...

Hey Giacom, that was me. I love chain robbing like that. Not really into building and maintaining a house most of the time, so I just start robbing a cheap house, then roll all my money into tools and work my way up the list. Took about 6 robberies to get to the top house today (which was insane, but thankfully the safe was in the top-left corner––it's usually in one of the corners so that's my first destination when brute-forcing). Then you're right, I just spend ALL my cash on tools and work my way down the list––I did about 7 or 8 of the top houses today, then double-tapped into a dog.

It know it seems to break the game to rob a house with way more in tools than it's worth, but I think it's a fair play style. I just want to see the rich fall...

And if there was some Robin Hood way to donate money to poor houses I would definitely be into that.
