How To Remove The Supply Of Stolen Weapons In Prison Architect

If you’re working on the “Cleanup” grant in Prison Architect and struggling with the stolen weapons supply, this guide will walk you through the exact steps to complete it efficiently. By setting up strategic patrols, metal detectors, and using the shake down feature, you’ll have your prison weapons-free in no time.

Understanding the Cleanup Grant

The Cleanup grant requires you to remove all stolen weapons from your prison. If you’re tackling this objective, you’ve likely already accepted the grant tool. The key to success is a systematic approach combining preventative measures and active enforcement.

Setting Up Patrols

The first step is to establish patrols in the areas where stolen weapons are most likely to be found and used. Set up patrols in front of both the kitchen and the workshop. These high-risk areas are common locations where prisoners obtain and hide tools that can be converted into weapons.

Installing Metal Detectors

After positioning your patrols, install metal detectors in front of both the kitchen and the workshop as well. Metal detectors will help catch any weapons or metal tools that prisoners attempt to carry out of these areas, providing an additional layer of security beyond patrols alone.

Using the Shake Down Feature

Now comes the active enforcement part: use the shake down button located on the bottom right of your screen. Spam the shake down button and systematically shake down all sectors in your prison. Continue spamming shake downs across every sector until all stolen tools and weapons are removed from your prisoners.

Completing the Grant

Keep spamming the shake down function until you finish the grant requirements. Your patrols and metal detectors will prevent new weapons from being created or smuggled while your shake downs remove existing contraband. Once all sectors are clear, the Cleanup grant will be complete.

Summary

Removing the supply of stolen weapons in Prison Architect is straightforward when you combine three elements: strategic patrols in front of the kitchen and workshop, metal detectors at those same chokepoints, and persistent use of the shake down feature across all prison sectors. Follow these steps and you’ll successfully complete the Cleanup grant.
