We Steal From Old People: Best Builds
Sources reviewed:
There is no tier list with numbers behind it. There is one fully printed recipe, a recipe ladder up to “discover all,” and five goons whose creation rates fall off a cliff.
How a build is printed
Builds are assembled on the PLAYMAT. The store says brick builds earn passive income you spend on goons, and that secret builds exist. A build can be sold — “Sell your first build” is at 80.6% — and a rare build is its own achievement, with a 5.5% global rate in the 12 Nov record. You can store a build in the safe (93.4%). “Full Safe Access,” every slot, sits at 1.0%.
| Recipe | Blocks | Built | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMX Bike | 22 | 1 time | Jump Count +1; Pickup Magnet Size +24%; Maximum Health +16; Health Regeneration +7.2 |


How many recipes
| Achievement | Global rate | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Discover 10 build recipes | 29.9% | 1 source · Steam |
| Discover 50 build recipes | 6.6% | 1 source · Steam |
| Discover 100 build recipes | 2.2% | 1 source · Steam |
| Discover ALL build recipes | 0.1% | 1 source · Steam |
One hundred is a floor, not a catalog. I will not rank recipes I have not seen. The BMX line is the sample: jump, magnet, health, regen. If later shots print more cards, this table should grow by adding rows, not by guessing power.
Goons, in the order people actually make them
A Goon Piece comes first (55.0%). Buying a Goon Ball is next (44.0%). The store names Karen Managers and Corrupt Cops as the workforce that deals with internet vigilantes. The achievement names add three more. Max-upgrade rates are all at or below 1%, which tells me almost nobody has finished a goon yet. It does not tell me which goon is stronger. Cost and combat numbers are not published.
| Goon | Created | Maxed |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Wage Employee | 36.6% | 0.9% |
| Karen Manager | 17.1% | 0.6% |
| Cop | 4.4% | 0.3% |
| Corporate Muscle | 1.8% | 0.3% |
| Corporate Lawyer | 0.4% | 0.3% |
What to care about before a tier list exists
- Sell and store early. Those two achievements are among the most common, so the loop expects both.
- Ground pound is the community stun. Ordinary attacks do not stagger the crowd, according to the discussion posts.
- Homing dirt is the complaint that shows up next to the two-minute power spike. A build that only adds damage does not answer that post.
- The westeal.com “build guides” are instructions for physical brick figures, 134 and 114 steps. They are not these recipes.
FAQ
What is the best goon?
No published comparison says. The creation rates only show how far players have gotten: Minimum Wage Employee first, Corporate Lawyer last.
Where are the secret builds?
The store says they exist. It does not list them. Discover-all sits at 0.1%.
