- Steal a PC tier list: S-tier rigs like the RGB Gaming Rig fund a full base upgrade in one haul
- Target priority: Always grab S and A tier machines the moment you spot them
- Early game: B tier PCs are solid value while you build your first cash pile
- Skip rule: Only take C tier office desktops when they sit on your route home
- Carry capacity: Upgrade backpack and speed first so high-tier hauls pay off
Steal a PC Tier List Explained
Not every computer in Steal a PC is worth the risk. Common office desktops flood the map and sell for pocket change, while rare high-end rigs can bankroll an entire base upgrade in a single trip. This tier list grades every stealable PC by two factors: sell price and spawn rarity. Machines that sell high and appear rarely dominate the top tiers, while cheap common builds sit at the bottom.
The grading breaks down into four tiers, each reflecting a different stage of progression:
| Tier | Sell Value | Rarity | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Highest | Very rare | Endgame income — one haul funds major upgrades |
| A | High | Rare | Primary targets for mid-game players |
| B | Medium | Uncommon | Reliable early-game cash flow |
| C | Low | Very common | Filler only — grab on the way home |
Tier placement reflects value relative to how often a PC appears. An S-tier machine that spawns once per session beats ten C-tier desktops carried back to back. Prioritize rarity-adjusted value, not raw sell price alone.
Full PC Rankings: S to C Tier
Here is the complete breakdown of stealable PCs by tier, with sell value and spawn notes for each machine.
| Tier | PC | Value Level | Spawn Rate | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | RGB Gaming Rig | Highest sell price | Very rare | Always worth the risk — fund a full upgrade in one haul |
| S | Workstation Ultra | Highest sell price | Very rare | Top target; check high-security bases for it |
| A | Gaming PC Pro | High sell price | Rare | Excellent target — grab immediately when spotted |
| A | Creator Station | High sell price | Rare | Strong payout for the rarity level |
| B | Standard Gaming PC | Medium sell price | Uncommon | Solid value for early-game players |
| B | Mini Tower | Medium sell price | Uncommon | Consistent mid-tier income |
| C | Office Desktop | Low sell price | Very common | Only worth taking in your first minutes |
| C | Old Monitor PC | Low sell price | Very common | Filler load — carry only if it's on your route |
Tier priorities by progression stage:
| Stage | Primary Target | Secondary Target | Skip Entirely |
|---|---|---|---|
| First 30 minutes | B tier (Standard Gaming PC) | C tier on route | Long detours for any PC |
| Early-mid game | A tier (Gaming PC Pro) | B tier | C tier unless adjacent |
| Late game | S tier (RGB Gaming Rig) | A tier | Everything below A |
High-tier PCs often require upgraded carry capacity before you can haul them. Spending your first cash on capacity and speed upgrades makes every S-tier find actually payable — a rare rig you can't carry is worth nothing.
Stealing Route: From Spawn to S-Tier Payout
Turning this tier list into income requires a repeatable loop. Follow this sequence each session to compound your earnings:
Claim and Secure Your Base
Walk up to an unclaimed plot and claim it. This is where you sell stolen PCs and set up defenses. Position your selling platform for fast drop-offs.
Scout Before You Commit
Move with WASD, jump with Space, interact with E. Scan neighboring bases for A and S tier machines before entering — don't waste a run on a base full of Office Desktops.
Grab the Highest Tier Available
Click to grab the PC once you're close enough. Watch for obstacles, traps, and locked doors the owner may have placed to slow you down.
Haul Home and Sell
Carry the PC back to your base and drop it on the selling platform. Higher-tier machines sell for far more, so reroute to better targets whenever capacity allows.
Reinvest in Capacity and Defense
Spend cash on carry-capacity and speed upgrades first, then base defenses so rivals can't easily steal your hauls back.
Each capacity upgrade increases the value of every future run. A player who reinvests their first hour of earnings into capacity typically out-earns one who hoards cash by a wide margin.
Protecting Your S-Tier Hauls
Anything you can steal, others can steal back. Once you're stockpiling S-tier machines, your base layout determines whether your profits survive the night. Layering is the core principle — force intruders through multiple obstacles and keep your most valuable PCs deepest inside.
Starter Corner Layout
- Budget: Free / early game
- Desk in back corner halves approach angles
- Block direct path with cheap walls
Maze Funnel Layout
- Budget: Mid budget
- Zigzag corridor adds escape time
- Best for players who actively defend
Vault Core Layout
- Budget: High budget
- Layered walls plus locked doors at every entry
- Built for storing S-tier machines
Decoy Desk Setup
- Budget: Any budget
- Cheap bait PC near the entrance
- Pairs well with every other layout
Most thieves grab the easy bait near the entrance and leave. Always pair a decoy desk with any vault layout — it filters out casual raiders before they ever test your inner walls.
Boosting Tier Income With Pets
Pets act as permanent multipliers on the cash you earn from stolen PCs, effectively raising the payout of every tier on this list. A Legendary pet can multiply a single S-tier haul several times over, so pet progression and tier targeting work together.
| Pet Class | Example | Boost | Value Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | Mouse, Basic Bot | Small cash multiplier (+5-15%) | ★ |
| Rare | Tech Cat, GPU Dog | Moderate multiplier + steal speed bonus | ★★★ |
| Epic | Hacker Fox, Server Golem | Higher multiplier + faster carrying | ★★★★ |
| Legendary | Cyber Dragon, Quantum Overlord | Large multiplier (often 5x+) + speed buffs | ★★★★★ |
| Mythical | Best-in-slot event pets | Highest multipliers, unique effects | ★★★★★ |
Reinvest cash into hatching instead of sitting on your balance — pet multipliers compound your income, which in turn raises the effective value of every tier on this list.
Tier List Progression Goals:
- Steal your first B-tier Standard Gaming PC
- Upgrade carry capacity twice before chasing S tier
- Secure one A-tier Gaming PC Pro haul
- Build a Vault Core layout before storing S-tier rigs
- Hatch a full team of Epic or better pets
Steal a PC Tier List FAQ
Q: What is the best PC to steal in Steal a PC?
The RGB Gaming Rig and Workstation Ultra sit at the top of the tier list. Both carry the highest sell price and very rare spawn rates — a single haul can fund a full base upgrade, making them always worth the risk.
Q: Should I steal C-tier PCs like the Office Desktop?
Only in your first minutes of play or when a C-tier PC sits directly on your route home. Office Desktops and Old Monitor PCs sell for very little, so carrying them wastes capacity you could fill with B-tier or better machines.
Q: How does the Steal a PC tier list change with updates?
Content updates regularly add higher-tier stealable PCs and new zones with bigger payouts, and balance patches can adjust sell values. Check the official game page and developer group announcements after each patch, since new areas often shift the meta.
Q: Do pets affect PC tier value?
Yes. Pets multiply the cash you earn from every stolen PC, so a Legendary or Mythical pet effectively raises the payout of each tier. Stack pet multipliers with S-tier hauls for the highest income per run.
