TIPS (5)

Unlock the secrets of Day 6 in Papers, Please! Learn about Work Passes, detaining Dari Ludum, and handling terrorist attacks to maximize your earnings and efficiency.

Alright, let's dive into some tips for Day 6 in Papers, Please. This day introduces a new document and some unique situations, so pay attention!

Tip 1: The Vince Lestrade Shortcut

Remember Vince Lestrade from Day 5? If you approved his passport without any interrogation, that's the best move if your main goal is to process as many people as possible and earn more money. It saves precious time!

Tip 2: Inspection Mode Hotkey

Once you get the booth upgrade at the end of the day, you'll unlock a super handy hotkey: the Space bar. Tapping this will instantly open and close Inspection Mode. Trust me, this little shortcut shaves off seconds every single time you need to check documents, and those seconds add up!

Day Six Specifics: The Work Pass

Day Six brings a new requirement: Work Passes. Anyone entering the country for work needs one. Make sure the person's name matches, and crucially, check that the 'Valid work end date' on the pass lines up with how long they say they'll be working. Also, keep in mind that in the future, seals can be forged. It's not something you'll deal with yet, but good to know!

Dealing with Dari Ludum

Pay attention to the second person who enters today. They'll give you a note about someone named Dari Ludum, who happens to be the seventh entrant. When Dari Ludum shows up, switch to Inspection Mode. If you link the name on his passport to the note, or even just give him the note, you'll get the option to detain him. Similar to Vince Lestrade, whether you approve, deny, or detain Dari Ludum doesn't drastically change things, other than the headlines the next day. Don't stress about wasting time detaining him, because the day will end early anyway.

The Terrorist Attack

Keep an eye out for a terrorist attack. This usually happens around the ninth entrant, but it can vary depending on whether you approve the ninth entrant (who has valid papers). This attack can cut your day short. If it doesn't happen by 6 PM, the day will just keep going indefinitely until it does occur.
