In the world of InZOI, which strives to offer a simulation of life as realistically as possible, there are various ways for your Zoi (your character) to live their life, including methods outside the law to obtain Meows (money).
One criminal act that can be performed is robbing an ATM.
However, before you are tempted to try this method for quick cash, it is crucial to understand the steps, the requirements, and especially the HUGE RISKS involved.
This article will explain how to rob an ATM in InZOI as information regarding a game mechanic.
WARNING: Extremely High Risk!
It must be emphasized from the outset: Robbing an ATM in InZOI is an extremely high-risk action!
Failure in this act can have fatal consequences, ranging from being arrested by the police to the permanent DEATH of your beloved Zoi.
This method is strongly discouraged if you desire safe, stable, and positively progressive gameplay. Think very carefully before attempting this.
Main Requirement: Achieving Bad Karma Status
You cannot simply decide to rob an ATM out of the blue. This feature is locked behind the game’s Karma system.
- Mandatory Prerequisite: The option to attempt hacking (“Hack”) an ATM will only appear and be selectable if the Zoi you control has reached the “Bad” Karma level.
- How to Get Bad Karma: This negative status is generally obtained by repeatedly performing reprehensible actions, such as:
- Interacting negatively, rudely, or maliciously with other Zois (especially in public places/outdoors).
- Performing other negative karma actions (an example given is checking vending machines for potentially leftover change – a small but negatively viewed action).
- Generally behaving as a ‘bad citizen’ within the InZOI life simulation.
- Without Bad Karma status, the option to rob an ATM will not be available.
Steps to Rob an ATM in InZOI
If your Zoi meets the Bad Karma requirement and you are prepared to accept the risks, here are the steps:
1. Find an ATM Location:
- Contrary to what many might assume, ATMs in InZOI are not located inside bank buildings.
- You need to search for them in public areas, typically mounted on building walls along the sidewalks around the city. Explore urban areas carefully to find one.
2. Select the ‘Hack’ Option:
- Once you find an ATM machine, click on it to bring up the interaction menu.
- Select the “Karma action” menu option.
- If your Zoi’s Karma is ‘Bad’, you will see the “Hack” option within that menu. Select this option to begin the ATM robbery attempt.
ATM Robbery Outcomes: Success, Death, or Jail?
Attempting to rob an ATM in InZOI has three potential outcomes, heavily influenced by the Zoi’s condition at the time and a bit of luck (especially regarding police presence):
- Success:
- Favorable Conditions: Your chance of successfully robbing the ATM (and likely getting some Meows as a result) is greater if all of the Zoi’s basic needs are met (not hungry, not tired, doesn’t need the toilet, etc.) and their mood is good.
- Note: The amount of Meows obtained upon success was not specified in the initial points, so it may vary.
- Failure (Leading to Death!):
- Trigger Conditions: This is the most terrifying risk. If your Zoi attempts to rob an ATM while their physical condition is poor (very tired, very hungry, or other vital needs are critically low), the ATM can malfunction or short-circuit, electrocuting the Zoi instantly to death! This could mean a permanent end for that Zoi.
- Failure (Arrested by Police!):
- Situation: If you are very unlucky and a police officer happens to be patrolling or nearby the ATM location while you are attempting or have just attempted the robbery, they will arrest you immediately.
- Consequences: Being arrested will lead to a criminal record, fines, or even potential jail time within the game, which will severely disrupt your Zoi’s life and progress.
Conclusion
Robbing an ATM in InZOI does offer an illegal (in the game’s context) shortcut to obtaining Meows, but this path is fraught with peril.
The process requires a Zoi with Bad Karma, finding an ATM in the correct location (sidewalks, not banks), and selecting the “Hack” action from the Karma menu.
However, the lurking risks far outweigh the potential benefits.
The possibility of permanent death by electrocution or arrest by the police are real consequences that you must always remember.
Even if your Zoi is in prime condition, success is not guaranteed.
Think carefully: is the potential gain of some Meows (which could likely be earned through safer means) worth the risk of losing your beloved Zoi forever or ending up in jail? The choice is yours, but play wisely and cautiously in the world of InZOI.
