Master the Art of Thievery: Unmasking the Coveted Vulcan Spectre

Stealing cars in Thief Simulator presents a unique and challenging experience. Unlike in Grand Theft Auto, meticulous planning is required for each vehicle heist, including avoiding cameras, alarms, and even innocent civilians. Failing to do so will result in being tazered and sent back to a checkpoint. Unlike the protagonist in Dishonored, the thief in Thief Simulator lacks swords or guns for self-defense.

The risk of electrocution is particularly high in the game's second neighborhood, Richie Rich Street. As the name suggests, the affluent residents of this area spare no expense when it comes to security systems and lavish decorations. In this part of the game, players are tasked with stealing cars, including the valuable Vulcan Spectre. This marks the game's first 'smart' vehicle, which can be sold for a substantial $2000. Successfully stealing it also awards the 'Car Enthusiast 4' trophy/achievement to players.

Where is the Vulcan Spectre?

Safely concealed within the heavily fortified residence at house number 205, the task of pilfering the coveted Vulcan Spectre poses a formidable challenge. Positioned on the furthest right of the property, the garage remains impervious to covert infiltration through a window, yet numerous surveillance cameras persistently monitor the entrance gates and interior spaces of the house.

Similar to previous vehicular heists, meticulous preparation is imperative. Observing the security guard's routines throughout the day, identifying blind spots of the surveillance cameras, and executing swift maneuvers within the house to acquaint oneself with its layout post each checkpoint become indispensable strategies. Alongside the car, a collection of valuable antiques residing within number 205 can yield substantial profits on BlackBay. Furthermore, given the perimeter wall encircling the property, it becomes imperative for players to ensure the gate leading to the car is open before embarking on their escape.

How to steal the Vulcan Spectre

To enter and exit without detection, players must possess the following tools and skills:

1. Binoculars (Appraisal level 3 - technically optional)

Climbing gloves (Agility level 2)

Glass knife (Lockpicking level 4)

Car key signal duplicator (Car theft level 3)

In contrast to typical car thefts, players are required to visit the targeted house while the owner is present. The optimal time for this is 5 p.m when the security guard is away from the garage and the main resident is yet to come downstairs. Before entering, players must locate the security guard and identify the main resident using binoculars for an effortless marking.

Approach the house from behind, and climb the vines near the garage.

Use the glass knife on the nearby window, and climb inside the bedroom.

Be extremely careful exiting this room. Mark the security camera overhead.

Squeeze left past the camera's line of sight into a huge room.

Use the switch next to the piano to open the car gate.

Enter the garage left of the piano and open the garage door.

After 6 p.m, the main resident will enter the nearby bathroom.

From the other side of the wall, left-click him with the car key signal cloner in hand.

Get into the Vulcan Spectre and exit the map to unlock the trophy/achievement. It is important to avoid the security camera positioned on the left side of the driveway.

Alternatively, players can enter the house through the second floor. By reaching level four in agility skill, they can climb up a gutter and reach an unlocked balcony that is situated above the garage. This approach is highly recommended for burglaries conducted during nighttime, as the windows become obstructed as the in-game time progresses.

After successfully pilfering the Vulcan Spectre, players have the opportunity to dismantle and trade its components. The mini-game involved in this process differs slightly from previous vehicles, owing to the advanced nature and higher value of the Spectre's parts. However, before players become envious, it is important to mention that they can acquire an even superior vehicle of their own once they reach level 19. A commodious van can be purchased from a spot adjacent to the pawn shop for a sum of $35,000. Thief Simulator is currently accessible for play on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms.
