Usage[]

The Crowbar appears in all three Escapists games. Can be used as a weapon or to craft some useful items. It can be used as an effective chipping tool, damaging walls by 20% and losing 10% durability each hit in TE1 and TE:TWD, allowing it to chip 2 walls. It is slightly less effective in TE2, losing 15% durability per hit and using much more energy. It is as effective as a guard's baton in combat.

In TE2, it can also be used to break vents (20% damage, 10% durability loss per hit). It is also necessary for certain prison escapes:

  • Cougar Creek Railroad via a multiplayer-only method: the players must gather three Crowbars and, holding each crowbar, interact with the connector between the caboose and the rest of the train. Once all three Crowbars have been used, the escape is complete.
  • Big Top Breakout, DLC prison, via singleplayer-only method. The Crowbar is used on the human cannon to prepare for the escape.

Obtaining[]

Can be bought from inmates, stolen from unconscious inmates or guards, or found in a Prisoner Stash. Cannot be found in inmates' desks (TE1 only, can be found in desks in TE2 on certain prisons.)
