How To Stop A Riot In Prison Architect

Riots can quickly spiral out of control in Prison Architect if you’re not prepared to respond effectively. This guide walks you through the essential steps to manage and stop a riot, including calling emergency services, directing response teams, and handling the cleanup afterward.

Calling Emergency Services

The first step in stopping a riot is to quickly access your emergency response options. Click on the Emergencies menu and select both Riot Police and Paramedics. You’ll see their icons appear on the right side of your screen.

Directing Riot Police to the Riot

Once Riot Police and Paramedics have been called, click on the Riot Police icon. Then right-click anywhere on the map to direct them to that location. They will pathfind to the area you’ve selected and begin engaging with rioters.

When Riot Police encounter criminals during a riot, they will automatically apprehend them. Make sure to position them directly at the riot’s location for maximum effectiveness.

Coordinating Paramedics Support

Paramedics are crucial during riot response because they heal injured Riot Police officers. Ensure Paramedics are positioned near the action so they can provide medical support as the Riot Police engage with rioters. Direct Paramedics to follow your Riot Police into the riot area.

Watch for unconscious criminals and make sure your Paramedics stay close to your Riot Police to keep them in fighting condition.

Confirming the Riot is Over

Continue monitoring the situation until all criminals have been apprehended and accounted for. Once everyone is secured, the riot will officially stop.

Dismissing Emergency Services

After the riot has been contained, dismiss your emergency personnel to free up resources. Click on the X button on the right side of the screen next to each emergency service to dismiss them.

Managing Post-Riot Cleanup

After Riot Police and Paramedics have been dismissed, you’ll need to handle the aftermath. Fires are common during riots, so call Firemen to extinguish any blazes.

If there are still injured inmates or guards remaining, call Paramedics again to provide medical attention.

Once fires are extinguished, dismiss the Firemen and assign guards to clean up the area, including removing any dead bodies and repairing damaged buildings.

Summary

Stopping a riot in Prison Architect requires quick action and proper coordination between Riot Police and Paramedics. Call emergency services immediately, direct them to the riot location, keep Paramedics nearby for support, and dismiss them once the situation is under control. Finally, manage the cleanup by calling Firemen for fires, Paramedics for any remaining injured, and guards to restore order to your prison. With these steps, you’ll be able to handle even the most chaotic riot situations.
