PSA: Bricks can be thrown to break windows.

Many people seem to not know this. A lot of people have died to my house while they still have bricks in their inventory which would solve the problem. They can also kill non-lethal pets and open doors!

I know it too. But its that doors is so non-lethal it can be. Its just when theres something behind them that is the problem.

Most homeowners use doors to conceal commit gates (so a burgular does not know which commit route to take), which means most doors are safe to pass.

Only usage I found for bricks, is to solve the "famous"

when you take a wrong route.

Bricks just might be my favorite tool, with the other candidate being a saw

Here's just a few examples of where bricks opening doors is *lifesaving* (blue cross is robber in each case) - I've seen all of these situations more times than I can count!

Re: PSA: Bricks can be thrown to break windows.

A simple electric floor trap that can't be averted with just one water:

The two cheapest solutions:
$250 - brick window, move up, move down, use water (opens one direction, other direction costs another water)
$300 - brick window, brick cat (opens both directions)

If you didn't bring bricks:
$400 - wire cutters (opens one direction, other direction costs a water)

If you didn't bring bricks or wire cutters, then depending on wall block directly below you:
$500 - saw, move down, move up, water (opens one direction, other direction costs another water)
$900 - blowtorch, etc
$1300 - explosives, etc

can't you use two wire cutters without a move from the cat?

Yes you could use two wire cutters but it is much cheaper to use one followed by a jiggle then water.
