Body Swapper       Statistics Item Type: Tools Value: $40 Custom Character Points: 2 Custom Character Quantity: 3 Description When used on an NPC your position will be swapped to the NPC's position and vice versa In-Game Tooltip "Target a non-prisoner to swap places with them... In the "position" sense not the "Freaky Friday" sense."

The Body Swapper is a Tool in Streets of Rogue. When used on an eligible NPC, they will switch positions with you and get afflicted with Dizzy for a few seconds.

Tips and Strategies

• Body Swappers could be seen as an alternative to Wall Bypassers. Both items teleport the player albeit in different ways. While a Wall Bypasser only teleports you 2 tiles twoards the direction you are facing, the Body Swapper allows you to swap positions with a targeted NPC, while having indefinite range.
• You can try swapping places in very dangerous situations, such as being close to an impending explosion triggered by a Generator or Time Bomb, or while being on the Mine Cart or Train's tracks.

Trivia

• "Freaky Friday" in the tooltip refers to a movie called Freaky Friday in which the 2 main characters swap bodies.

• Even though they aren't a standard NPC and don't technically have a body, it's possible to swap bodies with Ghosts.
