How to trigger Lawmakers?

[24bobyjoe]

I keep doing runs but i cant seem to trigger the ending to start

Pick as many jobs with safes that you can, they only show up if you crack enough. if you havent already, the option from kyle to remove refuelling jobs and sidecar workshop upgrade help a lot.

There's one specific type of ship that always has a safe: Larimar Excelsior

I need to check but I think you get the Lawmakers by selling cards, not cracking safes. Cards can randomly show up behind fuel system panels, in toilet pipes, even in the time clock once in a while.

As far as I understand Lawmakers appear as soon as you sell 3 cards in one run. Not *steal* them, *sell* them.

So you can just hoard the cards you find in toilets or blue fuel in the temporal storage and sell them when you have enough.

I haven't cracked a single safe apart from the tutorial one in my playthrough.

The lawmakers appear start of Day 7, only trigger needed is the initial completion of the thief quest. When done, I believe they show up every run after automatically as the quest is logged as complete.

I do however regular nick cards, never bother with safes post thief quest. Cards can be found mainly in toilet and fuel modules.

It's from selling at least 3 cards I think. I cracked a bunch of safes, but never sold the cards. They showed up on Day 5 or Day 7 depending on when you sell them. Their quest is hectic, but pretty fun in my opinion.

Hmmm. I have both sold many cards, and cracked many safes and never once triggered their quest. I know I started this run with selling 5 cards on day 1. Guess I'll have to intentionally target safes and see if I can trigger them

I concur, it seems to be around 3 cards sold. I've stockpiled cards for a run for the speedrun stamp, and did not trigger lawmakers. You may still have to crack at least one safe/find one in the fuel segment as well? I haven't looked into it deeply.

I have now had a run where I sold 8 cards and cracked 3 safes and did not trigger the lawmakers :/

Maybe something I'm doing is locking me out of it . . .?

I don't know what to tell you, sorry.
I started a new run, with cards from the time vault, and sold 3 cards over three days. Next day, Lawmakers knocked on the door. I did not crack any safes or find any cards.
The only thing I could vaguely guess is that you should maybe not sell on the first day or so, since it may not count? Or perhaps only sell one card per day? Or rather, sell cards on three different days? You can get them earlier than day 7 by the way, this one was day 5.

Alternatively, did you go down the Magpie storyline or a different one? Although I had Magpies and Lawmakers at the same time before.

I really don't know why it might not trigger for you, sorry.
Maybe you can only see them once you have done a few runs?

It's linked to selling cards only, you don't need to crack any safes if you have cards already; are you selling the cards in the first couple of days of a run? I triggered it by hoarding cards in temporal storage. I seem to remember it's 3 cards to trigger it.

At this point it's the only ending I have left to collect, so yeah, I'm going through runs just collecting cards and popping them in temporal storage, and then once I have 3 or more cards, abandon the run, start, sell cards . . . no lawmakers. Intentionally not triggering anything else :/

All that's to it now is experimentation, I guess. Sell one a day, sell 3 on day two, etc . . .

[shanaqui]

Are you expecting lawmakers to turn up the next day after selling? Because they don't.

[Murder Lock Who]

I have been going through these runs straight through until the competency test. Another two today, no lawmakers :/

Hey, if you're really struggling, you could upload your save somewhere and someone kind could play it and upload a new one the day the Lawmakers happen. Or alternatively, figure out if you got a bug somewhere. Maybe have some cards in temporal storage for it.
