Sweet Thieves is one of the latest maps in the game, and it’s quite similar to the Cops and Robbers game. At the start of a match, teams will be divided into two groups, thieves and guardians. While staying on defense can be enough to win matches as a guardian, Thieves will need to get creative to qualify for the next round.

How to win as a Thief in Sweet Thieves in Fall Guys

  • Don’t use the jailbreak button until there are three-to-four players in jail.
    • The jailbreak button has a cooldown of 30 seconds. Using it for a single player will be less than ideal since guardians can trap more thieves during those 30 seconds.
  • Seek high-ground advantage.
    • Not many players do parkour and gain a high-ground advantage in Sweet Thieves. Going above the ground level can help you surprise guardians while they’re too focused on chasing other thieves on the ground.
  • Throw the candies to your teammates closer to the basket.
    • You don’t have to run all the way back to the basket when you get a candy. If you spot a teammate close to the basket and they don’t have a candy, just throw yours to them and focus on getting another one.
  • Get more out of your invisibility.
    • Try to go invisible more strategically. Don’t use it when there’s a guardian just behind you. Using it all the time is also a mistake since you’ll need to use it at the right time to flank guardians. Consider using it when guardians are distracted.
