One-Armed Robberis a free-to-play heist game set in aPayday-esquesetting. The players can carry out their heist in several locations but must plan before pulling off the robbery. The fun part is they have to do it all with just one hand.
However, the game also has some other tricky mechanics that many players might find difficult to get past. The Guard Phone check-in and the alarm are two mechanics players might need to deal with in almost every heist, especially those requiring stealth.
How to Check-in the Guard Phone
InOne-Armed Robber,you can complete a heist inStealth modeor go out guns blazing, go inside, take your loot, and return to your van. If you have decided to go with the former, checking in the guard’s phone is essential to avoid getting detected.
Although checking in on the guard phone is relatively easy, it may be challenging if you are new to the game. Let’s recap what occurs with the guard’s phone before we get into the specifics.
During your heist, you must remove several CCTVs and guards to avoid getting detected. But the task doesn’t end there, as you must also check the guard’s phone at a check-in point nearby. Once a guard has been taken down, his phone automatically initiates a15-second countdown. You should check in the phone at that period to stop the countdown before the alarms go off.
Make sure your hand is empty before checking in the phone. Proceed to pick up the phone and head toward the closest check-in point indicated on your screen. When you get close to the machine,hold the left mouse button for a few secondswhile pointing the phonetoward the check-in point. That’s all it takes to stop the countdown before it reaches 0, allowing you to carry off your robbery.
However, you have to ensure that all thesurrounding cameras have been removedfirst to avoid being caught on video when you kill the guard or check-in his phone. If you have to take down a guard patrolling the main entry point of your heist location,ensure you havelockpicked the main doorbefore you take him down.
You must repeat this process with almost all the guards you took down during your heist. There are several check-in points throughout all the maps, andeach point can be used only onceduring a heist, so you won’t have to travel back. If there’s a guard, there is a guaranteed check-in point nearby; all you have to do is look around and find it. To make the process easier, look for a nearby check-in point before you deal with the guard.
