Burglar

Burglar is the cheat code for mobility. It lets you hotwire any car from the start without a single point in Electrical or Mechanics.

Summary

The mobility occupation — hotwire vehicles immediately, with stealth and lock-handling perks on top.

Bonuses

  • Can hotwire vehicles without Electrical or Mechanical skill
  • Bonus to Sneak and lightfoot-style stealth
  • Better at dealing with locked doors and windows

The Hotwiring Advantage

Normally, hotwiring a car requires investment in both Electrical and Mechanical skill. The Burglar skips that entirely. From the first minute of the run, every car with a healthy engine and fuel is potentially yours — and a working car changes the entire game.

Stealth Viability

The sneaking bonuses make Burglar a strong fit for a cautious, avoid-the-fight playstyle. Pair it with Keen Hearing and you route around hordes instead of grinding through them.

Beginner Friendliness

Because early mobility is one of the biggest survivability multipliers in the game, Burglar is extremely beginner-friendly. Get a car early, and escape stops being a gamble.

Verdict

Considered one of the strongest occupations for mobility-focused and beginner runs precisely because it removes the hotwiring skill tax.
