For those looking to scratch the itch left by games like Thief and Dishonored, there is a lot to love in Noble Muffins' Thief Simulator. Gameplay is practically custom-made for gamers who consider the Spy in Team Fortress 2 to be their favorite character, and each mission presents a unique challenge - it's not easy to escape unseen with four guitars in your pocket!
While the game's occasional bugs may put some players off, there are still plenty of achievements in the game for the most dedicated to sink their teeth into. One particularly fun strand has players stealing various cars from right under their owners' noses, and it all starts with the Bolthorn 86 Classic that unlocks the 'Car Enthusiast 1' trophy/achievement.
How To Steal Cars In Thief Simulator
Before players can steal the Bolthorn 86 Classic, they'll first need to unlock the ability to steal cars in general. As players complete tasks for the Lombardi crime family, they will level up and gain a skill point with each new level - level 14 is the goal and can be reached quickly by playing stealthily while stealing many items. At this level, the 'car theft level 1' skill can be unlocked for 1 skill point, which players must
It doesn't end there, though, as a 'car lock pick gun' must then be purchased from Tools4Thieves for $8000. This may seem like a lot, but by playing frugally and completing bonus jobs via Rent-a-Thug, players will have the cash in no time.
After finding a car like the Bolthorn, players must get it open and hotwire it, both done through mini-games. To open the door, players must have the car lock pick gun in their inventory; they can then approach the door and hold down the left mouse button. Upon getting inside the car, players must interact with the panel below the wheel. In this mini-game, each square must be clicked until two yellow wires have been inserted, at which point the car will start. The process takes time, so players should make sure the car's owner isn't nearby before starting.
Where Is The Bolthorn 86 Classic?
Tools in hand, it's now time to put a plan into action. Thankfully, the Bolthorn isn't particularly difficult to steal; it's inside the garage of 104 Greenview Street, a property with several points of entry. Players won't need to worry about running into the Jones family if they approach at the right time. Below are the recommended tools and strategy:
- Use a mini electric lock pick on the front door at 2 p.m.
- Close the door quietly after entering and crouch down the first set of stairs at the end of the hall.
- Enter the closest door on the left - this is the garage with the Bolthorn 86 Classic.
- Open the garage door via the switch on its left. Then, complete the mini-games to hotwire the car.
- Drive the car out of the area and the trophy/achievement will unlock!
Alternative strategies include:
- Using climbing gloves and a lock pick to access the home via vines and the upstairs bedroom
- Using a lock pick and crowbar to access the home via the kitchen - this approach will set off an alarm!
Stolen cars in Thief Simulator can be broken down into parts that are sold at the junkyard.
