Steal a PC Getting Started Guide
From tutorial to your first profitable pen—codes, steals, Speed, and early zone goals.
Welcome to Steal a PC, the Roblox experience by vaultstudio (Place 135402322419238). Since the ~6 October 2026 launch the game has climbed to roughly 7 million visits with thousands concurrent and six players per server. Your job is simple to say and hard to master: steal boxes from Zone Guardians, outrun them to the Safe Zone, unbox PCs, place those PCs in your pen for cash, train Speed on the treadmill, upgrade pen and treadmill, and unlock about 30 zones along the central path.
This guide is the first-hour playbook. Follow it before spending Robux or hunting Divine boxes.
Minute-by-minute first session
- Finish the tutorial. Codes and some UI locks stay closed until it completes.
- Steal or receive your first PC and place it in the pen. Empty pens earn nothing.
- Open the gear icon (top-left) → Settings → codes and redeem every active string from the Codes Hub.
- Step on the treadmill to raise Speed. Jump off with Space when you are ready to run.
- Practice one clean Grass steal: press E near a Guardian box, sprint to the Safe Zone, unbox, place.
- Spend early cash on treadmill ranks before fancy trails.
- When Grass feels trivial (Speed gate
5), push Forest (1.5K Speed).

Pop the 2x timers from 3MVISITS only when you are about to steal, not while AFK on the treadmill.
Understand the core loop
Steal → run → unbox → place → train → upgrade → next zone.
Zone Guardians guard boxes on the central path. Press E to steal. You must reach the Safe Zone without being caught. While carrying, avoid the Drop button—misclicks void runs. After a safe unbox, place the PC for passive cash, including offline income when you leave.
Diamonds can drop from steals and feed the Gem Shop. Early on, treat diamonds as a bonus; focus on Speed and pen slots.
Early zone roadmap
| Zone | Approx. Speed need | Beginner goal |
|---|---|---|
| Grass | ~5 | Learn E + Safe Zone path |
| Forest | ~1.5K | Stable income PCs |
| Mushroom | ~67.5K | Mid unboxes, save for upgrades |
| Desert | ~650K | First serious endgame tease |
| Later | Cosmic / Prehistoric / winter… | Secret/Divine hunting |
Use the interactive-style checklist on Tools before pushing a new biome.

Soft skills for six-player servers
Servers are small. Expect contested Guardians. If another player starts a steal, rotate to the next box instead of body-blocking. Night box resets change availability—when a reset hits, be ready on the treadmill with Speed buffs active.
Do not waste early Robux on random cosmetics. The only premium trail called out in our lists is Lightning (40x, 240 Robux LIMITED)—ignore it until you understand cash trails.
Common beginner mistakes
- Redeeming codes before placing the first PC (redeem fails).
- AFK treadmill during 2x Money windows.
- Buying Blaze-tier dreams before Ocean Wave or even Lime Streak.
- Selling every PC including strong early rolls.
- Holding Drop on mobile near the Safe Zone.
- Entering Forest with Speed far below 1.5K.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common Steal a PC questions.
How do I start Steal a PC the right way?
Complete the tutorial, place your first PC, redeem Codes from the gear Settings menu, then train Speed on the treadmill before pushing Forest.
Why can I not redeem codes yet?
You must finish the tutorial and place a PC in your pen before the codes box in Settings will accept promo strings.
What Speed do I need for Forest?
Forest expects roughly 1.5K Speed. Grass only needs about 5, so the treadmill jump comes quickly.
Should beginners buy trails or treadmill upgrades?
Treadmill first. Pick up Cloud Puff for $500 only if early chases still fail, then Lime Streak later.
