Unlocking Tools in House Flipper 2: A Beginner's Guide
As an aspiring renovator in House Flipper 2, you don't start with a full arsenal of tools at your disposal. Instead, you'll have to prove your worth with a trash bag and mop, slowly unlocking each new skill with challenging quests. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to unlock the essential tools you need to succeed in the game.
Starting Out: Trash Bag, Sale Gun, and Cleaning Supplies
When you start story mode in House Flipper 2, you'll only have access to a trash bag, sale gun, and cleaning supplies. While it may seem limited, these tools are just the beginning. You'll need to complete quests to unlock new tools and skills, starting with the vacuum.
How to Unlock the Vacuum in House Flipper 2
To unlock the vacuum, you must complete the Out with the old! quest. This quest introduces the vacuuming mechanic and adds the tool to your selection wheel for other jobs and flips in the game. The quest becomes available as an email after completing the first few quests and focuses on a cleaning job.
How to Unlock the Paint Roller and Wiring in House Flipper 2
To unlock painting and wiring, you must complete the Adding a café to my bookshop quest. This location will teach you the basic mechanics of painting and how to wire lights so they turn on when connected to switches.
The painting mechanic in House Flipper 2 isn't as straightforward as throwing the roller on a wall. Instead, you'll need to highlight the area you want to apply paint to. Then, the roller must be dunked in a paint bucket containing the desired color and rolled square by square along the selected surface.
Tip: As you unlock Perk Points in House Flipper 2, your paint will go further, and the area you can interact with becomes less restricted. So be sure to allot those points as they are unlocked!How to Unlock Wallpaper and Flooring in House Flipper 2 - Surface Finishing
To unlock wallpaper and flooring, you need to access the Surface Finishing tool. Unfortunately, we missed the quest name for this one, but it unlocks directly after obtaining the paint roller.
The Surface Finisher allows you to lay down wood and tiling flooring purchased from the store, as well as apply wallpaper to available surfaces. These types of cosmetics can be laid in 3×3 squares or single squares. The size can be changed by scrolling with the roller button on the mouse.
Note: At this time, there is no undo button, so if you lay the wrong type of surface down, you must buy and lay the correct option over the misplaced one.How to Unlock Demolition and Wall Building in House Flipper 2
To unlock the demolition and wall-building tools, you must complete the A floor plan to change quest. This is the last set of tools you'll need to unlock, and they're much more complicated to use. A wrong smash could bring down a wall you weren't aiming for, and it can make a lot of unwanted work.
In this quest, you must remodel the upper part of the requester's home. This involves removing unwanted walls and building new ones. To take the walls down, select the hammer, aim for the desired wall, and hold the left mouse button down to charge the swing.
Steps to Demolish Walls:
- Select the hammer
- Aim for the desired wall
- Hold the left mouse button down to charge the swing
Steps to Build Walls:
- Select the bricklaying tool
- Select the desired area the bricks will be placed
- Like painting, this selected area is the only place where the bricks will lay down
- After this, bounce between spreading cement and stacking a layer of bricks
- Click on a cemented space to auto-lay the bricks and click and swing the mouse over a layer of bricks to add cement
By following these steps and completing the quests, you'll unlock the essential tools you need to succeed in House Flipper 2.
