Trash Can Tactics Steam Charts, Players, Reviews & Wishlists

Trash Can Tactics is an asymmetrical multiplayer heist where teams of raccoons and museum staff compete in fast-paced matches built around deception, teamwork, and close calls. Raccoon thieves rely on disguise and clever timing to steal food without being noticed, while human staff coordinate tools and surveillance to uncover them before time runs out. Every match is filled with close calls and sudden reversals, as humans race to throw all raccoons in jail before they break each other out.

Play As Raccoons With A Plan:

Sneak into the museum, hide in plain sight, and steal ingredients without getting caught. Raccoons must find a way inside, slip past staff, and search trash cans throughout the building.

As a raccoon, you will:

• Infiltrate the museum through vents or by posing as humans and walking through the front door.

• Disguise yourself as museum props to avoid detection while moving through exhibits

• Scavenge trash cans for hamburger ingredients and carry them outside to a drop-off point

• Work with your team to avoid capture and stage jailbreaks when things go wrong

Victory comes from securing all required ingredients and escaping before the clock runs out. Even if teammates are jailed, as long as one raccoon remains free, the heist is still alive.

Play as Humans With a Problem:

Maintain order, identify impostors, and prevent the heist from disrupting the museum. Staff must stay alert, track suspicious behavior, and respond decisively as raccoons blend in and rummage through trash cans throughout the halls.

As museum staff, you will:

• Monitor the museum using cameras and on-foot patrols

• pot raccoons in disguises hiding among exhibits

• Restrict movement and seal off sections of the museum

• Capture raccoons and secure them in holding cells

Staff succeed by locking down all raccoons at once or holding the fort until the end of their shift. If the situation is not contained by then, the Cleaners arrive to secure the museum.

The Heist Evolves:

Time is not fixed. Raccoons can create chaos to extend their heist, while staff complete daily tasks to shorten their shift.

As objectives are completed, momentum swings and the timer adjusts. If neither side gains control before the match ends, the Cleaners step in to restore order.

Designed for 1–5 Players:

Trash Can Tactics supports 1–5 players online in asymmetrical teams. 3 raccoons attempt the heist while 1–2 humans work to shut it down. In smaller matches, NPCs will fill all remaining spots, gathering ingredients and staging jailbreaks so even one player can experience the full chaos of the heist as if there were 5.

No Two Heists Play the Same:

Every match unfolds differently. Disguises can fail at the worst moments, jailbreaks can turn the tide, and one mistake can change everything. From stealthy infiltration to frantic lockdowns, it never plays out the same way twice.
