Step 3: Point and Disperse Hay Clouds

Aim the nozzle at the center or base of the haystack. Holding down the trigger sweeps away large chunks of hay, quickly exposing buried items like the Needle or Basement Key.

Pro Tip:Angle your stream so hay blows away from your search path, not back onto cleared spots.
Top Strategy Tips
  • β€’Use the Leaf Blower when speedrunning or hunting items, since you don't waste time running to the sell cart.
  • β€’Switch to the Vacuum if your main goal is earning cash from collected hay.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Blowing hay back into previously searched areas: Always aim outwards.
  • Expecting the Leaf Blower to deposit cash: It displaces hay, it does not collect it directly into your bag.
