Getting Started

First Heist
When first starting The Swindle use your first heist to gather £110. This will allow you to return to your airship immediately after and purchase the "Hack_Skill" ability. This ensures that you can successfully complete your next heists to start building your "XP_Bonus" multiplier which increases the amount of £ you get per heist until you die. For every heist that you complete while gathering at least 85% of the cash on that property whether or not you get detected, your multiplier increases by 0.20. Keep in mind, that this multiplier is applied after "Ghost_Bonus" and "Aptitude_Bonus" so that it multiplies the entirety of what you earned on that property.

The Slums
Your essential buying list for The Slums will be as follows: That should be everything you need to make it through The Slums while these next items are optional but will make successfully completing later heists possible.
 * 1) "Double_Jumping level 1" (Agility) £500 Pretty straightforward, allows you to jump once in the air.
 * 2) "Wall_Jumping level 1" (Agility) £1,000 Allows you to hang in place on walls. Necessary to avoid detection as properties get smaller and more crowded with enemies.
 * 3) "Movement_Speed" (Agility) £400 Highly recommended as it is low in cost and will improve gameplay as a whole, by adding quicker recovery times after jumping and landing.
 * 4) "Bomb_Count level 1" (Tools) £3,000 Adds 3 bombs to your toolkit. Allows access to otherwise impossible to reach areas.
 * "Steam_Purge Duration level 1" (Tools) £5,000 Allows your character to avoid detection completely for 3 seconds. Does not stop you from tripping mines.
 * "Hack_Speed level 1" (Abilities) £5,000 Removes one "bad sector" while hacking computers and slightly decreases the amount of time it takes to complete.
