# Store Robbery
> Learn how store robberies work in Equinox, including register access, safe codes, computer hacking, and progression into Tier 2 crime.
# Store Robbery
Store robberies are the **final entry-level criminal activity in Tier 1**.
They're designed to introduce you to a few mechanics you'll continue seeing as you progress deeper into the criminal world — including lockpicking, minigames, information gathering, and secondary objectives.
### Tier 1 Progression
Store robberies can reward an item that opens the door to **Tier 2 criminal progression**.
So don't overlook what you find during the job. 👀
***
# What Do I Need?
Getting started is simple.
You'll need a:
A **Lockpick** is required to begin accessing the store register.
### In-Game System Only
Everything on this page refers exclusively to fictional gameplay mechanics within **Equinox Roleplay**.
***
# Step 1 — Hit the Register
Start by locating an eligible store register.
Target the register and begin the robbery interaction.
You'll need to complete the provided **minigame** successfully before you can access the contents.
Take your time with the minigame.
Failing the first part of the robbery can quickly turn what should have been a simple job into a wasted opportunity.
***
# Step 2 — Look for the Safe Code
Successfully robbing the register gives you a chance of obtaining the **store safe code**.
If you receive it, you've already handled one of the most important parts of the job.
But if you don't?
You're not completely out of luck.
### No Safe Code?
If the register doesn't give you the code, there is another way to obtain it.
Find the store computer and attempt to **hack the system**.
***
# Step 3 — Hack the Computer
The computer provides another opportunity to recover the safe code.
However, you don't have unlimited attempts.
### You Only Get 3 Attempts
You have a maximum of **3 chances** to successfully complete the computer hack.
Use them wisely.
Successfully robbing the register may immediately provide the safe code.
If you don't receive the code from the register, the computer gives you another opportunity to obtain it.
***
# Step 4 — Open the Safe
Once you have the safe code, make your way to the store safe.
Enter the code and collect whatever is waiting inside.
Looks like a successful run.
But the cash isn't necessarily the most important thing you can leave with.
***
# The Fleeca Card
During a successful store robbery, you may come across a **Fleeca Card**.
Hold onto it.
### Welcome to Tier 2
Obtaining a **Fleeca Card** gives you what you need to begin exploring the next stage of criminal progression.
**Tier 2 crime is waiting.** 👀
Don't expect the guide to tell you exactly where to go from there.
Talk to people.
Pay attention to what you find.
Build criminal connections.
And figure out what that card is actually useful for.
***
# Store Robbery Flow
Use your Lockpick and successfully complete the register minigame.
You may receive the safe code directly from the register.
If you don't get the code, use the computer. You have **3 attempts**.
Use the recovered code to access the store safe and collect the reward.

# Don't Rush the Progression
Store robbery may be an entry-level crime, but it's also your bridge into larger opportunities.
Use it to:
* Learn the criminal systems
* Build experience
* Work with other criminals
* Understand how secondary objectives function
* Learn how information can matter as much as the payout
* Begin progressing toward larger jobs
A successful robbery isn't just about how much money you walk away with.
Sometimes the item or information you find is worth far more than the immediate payout.

# What's Next?
If you've successfully worked through the Tier 1 criminal activities and managed to get your hands on a **Fleeca Card**, you're ready to start looking beyond entry-level crime.
Exactly what comes next?
That's for you to discover.
### Tier 1 Was Just the Beginning
You've learned the basics.
Now start making connections, paying attention to the items you collect, and figuring out how the criminal world fits together.
**Tier 2 awaits.**
