We Steal From Old People: Guide

Sources reviewed: 2026-11-12

Steam’s guide shelf had two posts on 12 November 2026, both by Zyphon, and one of them is a joke about all 50 states. This page is the index for the notes that are actually about the game.

I am not calling this an official path. The achievement list is what shows the systems: five goons, three maps, at least 100 build recipes, and a safe with slots. Those four ideas are the four doors below.

A reading order

If you have not bought it, read the release and price page and the review roundup first. If you are in the game, start with how to play, then builds, then the achievement table when you care about the rare rows. The origin story of the real-world dispute sits on its own page and is not required to learn the heist loop.

What the discussions keep asking

• The opening is hard. The 11 Nov patch agrees that early difficulty can be too difficult.
• Hits do not stagger the crowd. A player says ground pound does stun.
• Homing dirt and a fast power spike show up in the same thread.
• Nobody has published a level list, a boss list, or an ending count. The walkthrough page says that in the open.
