RCT2 Vandals Explained

Have you ever wondered why your benches and bins keep breaking? This video tells you all about the culprit: vandals.

I forgot to say in the video that guests do also need to be unhappy enough to become vandals. This means that if you drop a very happy guest in a part of your park with a lot of litter, it will take a long time for them to become a vandal as the litter first needs to lower their happiness enough.

Imagine seeing someone not putting their trash in the bin next to them so you destroy the bin in your anger.

Let's not forget they can also destroy the solid STONE benches from the Egyptian set. as kid I thought that wouldn't be possible.

[Sol-hmol]

The RCT guests are superhuman. They can keep up a full sprint indefinitely, survive thousands of Gs and bend metal with their bare hands.

[DentoRuneScape]

As a kid I always got so scared of their angry faces, so I immedately drowned them to get rid of them so I didn't need to see their faces again. I still get the shivers looking at them now, lmao.

I love the idea that everyone who visits the park is a potential violent criminal on the precipice of madness, who will cause property damage because there's too much litter on the ground

[RobAdieComedy]

As a child I didn't know how Vandals work so I thought all the broken benches were from fat people.

[MoonguKang]

I spent my entire childhood thinking there was a cool vandalization animation that I was missing and went crazy stalking angry guests to try to see it in action

[Lemon_Inspector]

It's easy to explain why vandals don't attack other guests in their anger: society in the RCT2 world has a very strict taboo against it, because of their incredible strength and resilience. A simple bar brawl between these superhumans would lay waste to an entire city.

When I was a kid I saw guests destroying my shit a few times and immediately drowned them

[RipleySawzen]

Gonna be honest here: If I stepped in numerous pools of vomit after paying big dollars on amusement park rides, I'd probably break stuff too

[alexisauld]

"The rubbish... isn't in... THE BIN!!!"
*Starts beating the shit out of said bin with bare hands*

[Skyblade]

“This path is too messy! I will break the decorations to make it even messier!”

[Davsan]

The rage guy who became too tired to be angry hit too close to home

[NavnikBHSilver]

Marcel on a normal day: "Lets go and drown half the park, and send the rest to the ether"
Marcel when talking about park security: "I'm glad to see the guests not hurting each other!"

[puppable]

RCT guests:
*- capable of bending metal poles in half with their bare hands*
*- vaporized instantly if their ride falls from a track 6 inches above the ground while going at 2 miles an hour*

This must've worked slightly differently in RCT1 or I had a glitch - I distinctly remember having a vandal who kept the very angry face but was very happy and kept making happy comments "This park is so well priced!" "These paths are so clean!" etc. It was hilarious to imagine him shouting the compliments through gritted teeth since he was saying them with that face.

I think it was because as a kid, I thought benches were stupid (I HATED when my family would stop riding stuff and just want to sit down for a while IRL) and didn't understand that trash cans actually did something in the game since I didn't see guests using them. So if my park had any decorations at all, they were entirely accidental, or jumping fountains.

Anyways, glitch or not I had a guy for a VERY long time (more than an RCT year) who just ran around angrily shouting nice things as loud as he could. It was beautiful and I've always wanted to recreate it but never found success.

[TheRemco]

As a child I made a tiny prison segment in one of the corners of the park in which I put guests after they broke my benches. Like I literally thought that would work

[JuniorDjjrMixMods]

In Planet Coaster you see all the animation of them breaking, dropping trash bins etc, and when they are caught by the police they are escorted to the exit, it is very cool.

[Timmzy]

In OpenRCT2, I hope they add a feature that when a security guard encounters a broken bench/lamp post they just replace it with a new one and charge you whatever it would cost. Also have tick box like handyman to whether they do this or not.
