Taylor - Master Thief[message #77202]

I was wondering what the heck "Thief" meant for Taylor as one of his traits. He has throwing and thief. Thief?

I posted once but noone responded (I dont think).

Anyways, I am in sector D16 ... sick hard. Dont want to spoil anything, but suffice it to say that after 5 tries during daytime I resorted to my Night time tactics.

So all is going well.

Now I have about a dozen anti tank rockets. Problem: Nothing to shoot them with. This had puzzled me all game.

Well for the first time I had the opportunity to steal the weapon off of one of the enemies who was using them against me.

After clearing the majority of the sector, I snuck up on him, the guy wuth the anti tank rocket launcher, and had him down in no time -- critical. Tex runs up to him, goes to steal .. nothing. Huh? How could he have nothing, he has the rocket launcher AND a silenced pistol of some sort.

Ok, reload, Grunty goes to steal .. nothing again. Hmm. :naughty:

This mod is FUN! :rulez:

I was experimenting with jape and that trait. your right, to my research i have come to the conclusion that you can steal weapons (and only weapons) in other compartments of the enemies inventory. certian items are selected to drop when they die, so you never get everything, well this includes weapons. this is all just my theory though.

So the only way to get a laucher for these is to steal it off someone?

Yeah, beat 'em up til unconscious (not dying) then have Taylor steal weapon. Haven't tried with him but thats how we did it in JA2.

To the rocket launchers, they come for free in the An Loc region but in the Iron Triangle only a few enemies have them and they don't drop them (and there are only a few rockets around). When you play the militia battles in daylight and stay a bit behind their lines the Vietcongs usually pull off a nice show with the rockets Very Happy

And I think Taylors 'Thief' ability has only posing value Smile

Or maybe this is a real-life beta test to find out if this trait does anything at all?

I thought this myself at first. However, I have seen that it is more than just show, as Taylor was able to steal not only the mat 49, but the rocket launcher as well, when others could not get either.

Proof enough for me that if they use it, Taylor can steal it Smile

@Quack: where are the rocket launchers for free in the An Loc region? I never saw any! :armsfolded: Thanks!

I found one at An Loc City. That shouldn't be random. You may use JA2: UB editor and scroll through enemies ( In An Loc City sectors ), there should be at least one enemy with RPG-7 ( Or something ) and marked that launcher as a "droppable item".

I think so.

Taylor as thief definitely works-after reading this thread (I already had rocket launcher) I tried him on stealing from peeps-it works *every* time (well as long as the actually have an item). He can even steal from hostile "civilians" as well as the normal enemies.
