Starfield player uses laundry basket to pull off the casino heist of the century

pcgamer.com:

Of all the Starfield stories so far, one hit me right in the feels: the bucket trick no longer works. This classic scam was discovered one day after Skyrim launched and, amazingly enough, survived all the patches and re-release: you simply put a bucket on an NPC's head, blocking their line of sight, and then start stealing stuff.

However there are ways and means to use bins and buckets. Starfield allows you to pick up and hold items in front of your character, which retain their physics properties, and this can be used to knock objects off shelves and other surfaces.

Once they're on the ground, it's simply a matter of slowly shuffling your pile of illicit goods out of the sight of any nearby NPCs who might object, though most prove surprisingly accommodating while you're doing it. It's not just bins either. PC Gamer magazine editor Robert Jones piped up when I noticed this, revealing himself to be a scurvy space dog with a taste for cosmic heists. «I did this to get that expensive bottle of alcohol in that guy's office,» says Jones. «Just drop an object on the floor, then pick it up and use it to paddle any item out of view of the owner. Then take. Flat objects work best, as they're easier to use as the aforementioned paddles.»

Well well well. And now a Starfield player has managed to use a similar trick to pull off one of the biggest heists in the galaxy (thanks, GamesRadar+), using those classic criminal tools of… a washing basket and a tin?
