The Break-In is a 4 player online co-op burglary game about sneaking into houses, stores, and casino vaults to steal everything that isn't bolted down. (And maybe some of the things which are bolted down)
If you can get it into your van, you can sell it for a profit. And you can use the money you make to purchase new thief equipment, to help you take on riskier heists
Use a wide range of equipment to help you to extract the most valuable items from your target. Ladders and climbing picks can help you get in, then use attachable items like airbags and pistons to safely get your stolen items to your van

⠀
Other items like hammers, firecrackers, and wearable head lampshades can help you deal with any residents, either by knocking them out, distracting them, or hiding from them.
The climbing freedom gives you full freedom to get around. Clamber up drainpipes, crawl through windows, or even stealthily make your way to the roof to scout the area

Just be careful to make sure that nobody is waiting for you on the other side of the window, it's a long way down and you didn't bring a trampoline. Or maybe you did, and this is all part of your plan?
There are 3 classes to choose from. will you be the sneaky, speedy Infiltrator, breaking in and opening up the target for your team?
Or the beefy Strongman, dragging the valuable heavy items to your van, and protecting your teammates from guards?

Or maybe you're the Mastermind, co-ordinating everything in secret and hacking the vault?
VR adds an extra layer of immersion, but you can play fully without it too! Cross-play allows you to play alongside VR players, even in non-VR mode

The keyboard and mouse controls are designed to give non VR players the same level of control as VR players
Every mission you enter has randomised room varieties including different points of entry, so you'll have to make a new plan for each place you infiltrate

NPCs are also randomised, so make sure you scout the area well before going in. You never know what might be guarding that jewelry, an angry resident, a trained guard, or a hidden camera?
