What's the point of the red Bobbies?

[N0VA]

I've only noticed that they have slightly more health, I didn't really notice if they hit harder or not. Why do they only spawn in shops? You can't rob a shop. (I've tried both doors are locked/jammed.)

Are we going to be able to rob a shop with more updates?

I have questions!

Red Bobbies are superior to normal bobbies but it is currently not fully implemented.

At the moment their duty is to guard stores and the House of Curious Behaviors; I once saw 2 Red Bobbies guard even the "tea angle" (where Criers go to drink tea on the tables) during night hours:

Oh, about stores it was possible to steal stuff from them, but with later updates it's not possible... for now, at least.
I also heard that it was possible to visit the house of the sealers (which is the whole building where the store is) during the pre-alpha state of the game.
Still, changes will come in the game.

Is House of the Sealers inside the pawn shop? The one with the amps? Because you can still access it with ghost mode.

I know how to get the stuff, but if it's sealed, there's a why.

Maybe Lionel Carteshire's contraband motilene has something to do with it?

I think not; if it's about that, he wouldn't have a Red Bobby near, who would easily get suspicious about the illegal activities and arrest the man, unless he's corrupted (and I highly doubt it - personal thoughts).
Considering Spankers on the streets and several Joy Detectors around town and inside houses, I think it's about protection and security measures.

Probably will be. But if we can rob shops I see an item in the game being the "Swag bag" with the description "Only a rotten downer would have such a need for a big bag to carry all their stolen swag."

Swag bag? What the...?! I need to see it.

Not real, just something I thought up. Goes with the idea of all british burglars walking around carrying bags marked with "swag".

It would basically work as a tempoary version of the inventory expansion kit where upon breaking everything in it drops to the ground. Perfect news for robbing the pawn shop then running back to the safehouse to take unload all your precious swag and ideally take off that black and white striped shirt.

And if you were to wear a striped shirt the description would be something like "Be as sneaky as a mouse as you tiptoe everywhere. But Bobbies get very mad. Very, very mad. Make less noice while walking but increased suspicion from everyone and Bobbies will chase you down till you're dead. So even if you have second wind on you'll die."

With permadeath off and second wind on, Bobbies will have a lot of fun with Arthur dressed like that. Those sadic bast...

At the rate they drink JD I'm pretty sure they can barely tell whether or not this is all a dream.
