Boombox

Boombox       Statistics Item Type: Tool Value: $30 Custom Character Points: 1 Custom Character Quantity: 1 Description Place on the ground to attract nearby people with noise and cause them to dance in place until they find a higher priority task. Music only stops if the boombox is damaged. In-Game Tooltip "Play some jammin' tunes and distract your enemies by sending them into spontaneous dance."

The Boombox is a tool in Streets of Rogue which will cause all nearby NPCs to start dancing. In order to do so they will rush out of their buildings when possible and try to get as close as possible to the Boombox. Hitting a deployed Boombox twice will break it, deactivating it's effect. You can't move it once you place it, so use it carfully!

Tips and Strategies

• The Boombox is excellent for distracting NPCs, as placing it outside can make Property Owners leave the building.
• The Boombox will not stop an NPC chasing someone they are hostile to. Think 2-Player, one player places a boombox and the second player hits a NPC and runs past the boombox. The NPC will continue to chase after them. After though, they will go back to dancing.
