Steal a PC Zone Speed Checklist

This Tools page is a practical zone Speed checklist for Steal a PC. Use it before you leave the treadmill, before you pop timed code buffs, and before you blame “RNG” for a Guardian catch that was really an undergeared entry.

Steal a PC’s central path teaches gates in public numbers players actually feel: Grass ~5, Forest ~1.5K, Mushroom ~67.5K, Desert ~650K, then Cosmic / Prehistoric / winter and the rest of ~30 zones. Print this mental checklist or keep the tab open on a second monitor.

Master checklist (run top to bottom)

1) Account readiness

• Tutorial completed
• First PC placed in pen
• Codes redeemed (3MVISITS, 300KGROUP, 1MVISITS, DISCORDGIFT as available)
• Timed 2x buffs not yet activated (save for the push)

2) Pen readiness

• At least one open slot or Equip Best already cleared fodder
• Secret/Divine/mutations locked before mass sells (PC Tier List)
• Offline income lineup acceptable if you might DC

3) Speed readiness

• Recent treadmill session finished; exited with Space (Controls)
• Treadmill upgrade path considered—especially Lv2→3 ~$770K and Lv3→4 ~$2M (Upgrades)
• Trail equipped for this bracket (Trails Guide)

4) Route readiness

• Safe Zone path scouted without a box
• Drop button mentally disabled
• Server contention acceptable (remember 6-player caps)
• Night reset timing understood if hunting high rarity (Secret & Divine)

5) Go / no-go

• Current Speed ≥ target zone line below
• Activate 3MVISITS multipliers only after all boxes above are green
• Commit 10–20 minutes of focused steals, then reassess

Zone Speed table

Zone	Approx. Speed gate	Minimum prep notes
Grass	~5	Learn E steal; place anything (Getting Started)
Forest	~1.5K	Lime Streak optional; treadmill ranks preferred
Mushroom	~67.5K	Ocean Wave ($1M, 2x) often relevant
Desert	~650K	Mid trails + strong Speed/s; pen slots for loot
Cosmic / Prehistoric / winter / deeper	Rising past Desert	Treat as Secret/Divine hunt zones; bring slots

If your Speed sits between two rows, farm the lower row for cash until the next gate is honest. Pushing early burns buffs and patience.

Trail quick picker

Use this when the table says you are “almost there”:

If you are fighting…	Consider
Grass fails	Cloud Puff 1.2x ($500) or more treadmill
Forest consistency	Lime Streak 1.5x ($25k)
Mushroom entry	Ocean Wave 2x ($1M) after Lv3→4 treadmill
Desert contests	Blaze 2.5x ($50M) only if pen slots are fine
Endgame chases	Sunbeam → Infinity ladder; Lightning 40x (240 Robux LIMITED) optional

Full prices: Trails Tier List.

Upgrade quick picker

Symptom	Buy
Chases fail, cash OK	Treadmill Speed/s (hit $2M Lv3→4)
Inventory full of better PCs	Pen Lv7→8 ~$24M / Lv8→9 ~$320M
Both fine, gate still high	Trail multiplier
Gem Shop popping	Spend diamonds intentionally, not panic

Buff timing cheat sheet

1. Equip trail.
2. Finish checklist sections 1–4.
3. Activate 2x Speed / 2x Money from codes.
4. Steal immediately in the pre-chosen zone.
5. Do not AFK treadmill during Money buffs.

Failure autopsy (use after three losses)

What happened	Likely cause	Fix
Caught mid-path	Speed below gate	Treadmill / trail
Box vanished	Drop misclick	Controls drills
Never reached prompt	Wrong zone / blocked path	Rescout; hop server
Won steals, stayed broke	Pen empty / bad tiers	Place & rank PCs
Everything worked yesterday	Patch shift	Read Updates

Optional automation note

If you insist on auto-steal tools, still run this checklist—scripts cannot invent Speed you did not train. Read risks on Scripts first.

How to use this page in a duo

One player watches the checklist while the other steals. Call gates out loud (“Mushroom 67.5K, buffs on, slots open”). Duos on six-person servers should avoid double-contesting the same Guardian.

Keep this checklist ruthless. If a box is unchecked, you are not ready—train, buy, or downshift zones until every line is honest.
