ABOUT ESCAPIST 2
🎮 The Escapists 2 Overview
Released in 2017 by Team17.
Still a sandbox prison escape game, but now with multiplayer (up to 4 players).
Bigger maps, more crafting recipes, new ways to escape, and different prison themes (deserts, trains, even space!).
🔑 What’s New Compared to Escapists 1
Multiplayer – Play online or local co-op. Escape with friends, which makes teamwork-based escapes possible.
Different prisons – Not just standard prisons:
Trains 🚂
Boats ⛴️
Airplanes ✈️
Even a space prison 🪐
Combat system upgrade – You now aim attacks and block, making fights more skill-based.
More escape methods – Some prisons have unique story-style escapes (like disguising as guards, blending with band members, or hijacking vehicles).
Customization – Create your inmate’s look with more detail.
Jobs & routines – Expanded compared to Escapists 1, with more mini-games (e.g., crafting instruments, cooking, or medical tasks).
⚡ Tips for Escapists 2
Learn prison layouts – They’re much bigger than Escapists 1, so memorizing guard patterns and camera spots helps a lot.
Work together (if multiplayer) – One player can distract guards while another digs/cuts.
Stats matter even more –
Strength = health + damage.
Fitness = stamina (needed for digging, fighting, running).
Intellect = unlocks advanced recipes.
Crafting is deeper – Lots of multi-stage recipes (like durable pickaxes or disguises).
Unique escapes – Don’t just think tunnels and vents; check for special story paths in each prison. For example:
Hijack the prison transport on a train.
Steal a plane on the airfield map.
Stage a band performance and sneak out.
🛠️ Popular Escape Methods
Classic digging → still works, but dogs and detectors make it harder.
Vents & roofs → good if you find screwdrivers early.
Key copying → still crucial for many escapes.
Unique prison escapes → often the most fun and fastest once you know the trick.
🏃 The Escapists 2 – Tips & Tricks
🔑 General Survival Tips
Stick to the routine – Missing roll call, meals, or job time makes guards suspicious.
Hide contraband smartly – Use desks, hidden compartments, or stash it in vents/tunnels. Avoid metal detectors!
Search desks daily – They refresh with loot. Great for duct tape, screwdrivers, files, and contraband.
Boost your stats:
Strength → more health + stronger hits.
Fitness → more stamina (needed for digging/cutting/fighting).
Intellect → required for advanced crafting.
Crafting is key – Duct tape + files, pickaxes, cutters, fake keys, disguises… know your recipes.
🔧 Escape Planning Tips
Digging (Classic Escape)
Shovels + timber braces = tunnel life.
Cover your hole with a desk or fake floor.
Place braces every 5–6 tiles or tunnel collapses.
Vents & Roofs
Screwdriver or file removes vent covers.
Replace with fake vent covers to avoid suspicion.
Roofs often lead to fences or helicopters (depending on prison).
Fence Cutting
Use cutters (weak → sturdy → lightweight).
Time it at night when guards are spread out.
Key Copying
Knock out a guard → make a mold with putty → copy with molten plastic.
Return the real key, or guards will lock down the prison.
Only copy the keys you need (red/green/yellow/purple/blue).
Disguises & Outfits
Guard outfit lets you move more freely.
Civilian outfits are used in unique escapes.
Always bleach & recolor inmate outfits when needed.
Fake Items
Fake vent covers, fake wall blocks, and bed dummies are must-haves for night operations.
💡 Advanced Prison Challenges
Cameras: Wait until the red light blinks off before tampering.
Snipers: Outdoors, they’ll shoot if your heat is high. Keep suspicion low.
Dogs: They track tunnels. Use timber braces & keep digging hidden.
Metal Detectors: Drop contraband before passing through, or store it elsewhere.
⚡ Unique Escapes (New in Escapists 2)
Unlike the first game, some prisons have scripted special escapes:
Trains (Cougar Creek Railroad) → Uncouple the train cars or fight your way off.
Airplane (Air Force Con) → Hijack the plane mid-flight.
Ship (HMS Orca) → Take over the boat or slip away.
Band Escape → Craft instruments, disguise as a band, and sneak out.
Disguise Escapes → Dress as guards, medics, or maintenance crew to leave legally.
🛠 Pro Player Tips
Always carry a weapon (sock mace, baton, crowbar). Combat is tougher in Escapists 2.
Multiplayer teamwork: One distracts, one digs/cuts/loots. Makes escapes way faster.
Map knowledge = speed: Learn patrols, cameras, and weak spots.
Save progress with jobs: Some jobs give access to rare contraband (like metal shop, janitor, or kitchen).
