Congratulations, this objective is either incredibly easy or impossibly difficult. Time to loot shit! You're tasked with stealing things like the Medal of Captaincy, Captain's Antique Laser, an RCD or even the goddamned [[AI]].

'''FUCK.''' The Syndicate wants you to hijack the [[Escape Shuttle]] by escaping alone. This is going to be so much more difficult. There are two basic ways to approach this problem. The first is to simply [[robust]] anyone who tries to board the shuttle. It seems easy at first, but once you're dealing with a tide of panicked crew trying to escape the singulo/changelings/malfunctioning AI the problem becomes exponentially more difficult. Your second option is to seal off the escape shuttle. Build walls in front of the windows, [[guide_to_hacking|hack]] the shuttle airlocks to drop the bolts and find some way to make the rest of the shuttle inhospitable. A combination of both of these approaches can be sufficient 90% of the time. Don't forget that you can emag the shuttle's console (or swipe it with three different [[Heads of Staff]] IDs) to force the shuttle to launch after a quick 10 second countdown. | '''FUCK.'''

If all goes well, give yourself a pat on the back, you did it! If not, try to figure out where it all went wrong and improve on that. Escaping alone can be nearly impossible depending on the crew and station's condition. Sometimes it was not meant to be, but regardless, the only way to keep better is to have fun and continue practicing! | If all goes well, give yourself a pat on the back, you did it!

Escaping by yourself or only other traitors will count as a successful hijack. | |||

Just like hijack, but you need to escape alone! Don’t allow any syndicate members, traitor or otherwise, onboard the emergency shuttle with you. | |||

Exactly what the objective says. Die a glorious death. The key word is "glorious" - you can't just off yourself via suicide command, you disgrace to the Syndicate. | Exactly what the objective says.

You will get an objective with machinery listed and an area of the station. Ensure the original copy of the machinery is destroyed. | |||

If you don't have hijack or martyr, you will have a chance of getting a minor objective to complete. These objectives will vary in difficulty, from something as small as taking a photo to something as big as deleting your security record. | If you don't have hijack or martyr, you will have a chance of getting a minor objective to complete.

===Optional Objectives=== | |||
Optional objectives are completed by default, so there is no need to go out of your way to do them. They provide you with fun ideas on what to do, such as kidnapping a crew member or creating fake crime scenes. | |||

You have 20 Telecrystals built into your PDA, pen, headset or implant itching to be spent on traitory goods. '''To access your uplink from the PDA, go to the IC tab in the actual BYOND window and click on the Notes tab. Get the code from the Notes window and enter it into your PDA ringtone. If your uplink is on a pen, you'll find the degrees to twist the pen in the Notes tab. If your uplink is on your headset, you will find the frequency to tune to in order to access the headset. Implant uplink can be accessed at any time by pressing the action button at the top of your screen but will have only 16 TC. REMEMBER TO LOCK THE UPLINK!''' Check [[Syndicate Items]], for a more detailed description on the goods. But don't go racing off to order those items ASAP, since people are more clustered in the beginning of rounds; the AI is probably wondering how it switches cameras, and the Captain is off huffing paint somewhere. Although it can be useful to get items early, holding off until you need the item also has merit, so 6 crystals don't get wasted on an emag when you find the captain's spare ID on that assistant you just killed. | ||
Some tools are roundstart job specific, so you may want to change up your plans or try something fun when you get the chance. Fry and eat human corpses with a chef only body deep frier, or use the Modified Syringe Gun to make [[Assistant|shitters]] deaf, dumb, and blind from 3 tiles away, or go for the ever popular 20+ TC stuffed toolbox approach. It's not always about the greentext (though that would certainly be nice to get), and your only limit is your creativity. | Some tools are roundstart job specific, so you may want to change up your plans or try something fun when you get the chance.

Another thing to note is that you can dispense raw telecrystals in groups of 1, 5 and 20. Raw telecrystals can be reinserted into an active uplink by just smacking it up against it. This is only useful for interacting with fellow traitors, and some items like Romerol can only be purchased with more than 20 telecrystals. You can either ask them nicely for telecrystals, or rob them while they have their uplink open.

Gaining entry to areas above your clearance is an important skill. Sometimes you're looking to loot stuff. Sometimes security or another traitor is chasing you and you need to escape them. Sometimes the AI has gone mad and has locked you in a room filling with deadly neurotoxin. A collection of ways to break into places can be found [[Illicit Access|here]].

Blood Brothers is a variant of Traitor where you are bound to work with another random person on the station. Together you and some random traitor will work together to pull off any of the regular traitor objectives.

Blood Brother is a generally loathed variant as you'll usually be tasked with someone worse than you (they will generally be a burden, forcing you to carry them) or someone better than you (while this does mean you'll get your ass carried, this makes you the burden on the team dynamic). A common routine for Blood Brothers is to divide and conquer, having person A to objective A and person B do objective B. While having a lackey (or being one) is good in some circumstances, people generally don't like working with anyone outside of their favorite metabuddy and you will usually find yourself at each other's throats. | Blood Brother is a generally loathed variant as you'll usually be tasked with someone worse than you (they will generally be a burden, forcing you to carry them) or someone better than you (while this does mean you'll get your ass carried, this makes you the burden on the team dynamic).
