yall, i regret to inform you that im back on my bullshit
@joshua hard mode: enter the vault, steal the gold, trap Elijah in the vault, be the only fucking one to make out with any riches.
@joshua (it is apparently very doable lol, you just gotta be really tight about the timing and just FUCKIN GRAB EVERYTHING YOU CAN before you exit the vault, maybe even like, clear the way back entirely, dump all your shit JUST in fornt of the exit, then go to the vault, open it safely, steal all the gold, plod out sneakily before Elijah notices you, then just... try and book it to the exit asap and grab your shit outside the door, and boom, done :D
@joshua yeah he always comes down the like... right hand path (facing out from the vault) so if you sneak around to the left, you just gotta stay outta sight until he goes past where the laser barriers would be, and get yourself beyond them towards the exit, THEN y ou can just stand up and watch him fuck himself sideways.
