Before we get into the skin itself, we’ll first look at how Pickpocket Twitch and Safecracker Evelynn are framed in their splash art. As action-packed as the piece looks, an old Hollywood trope is in use here.
The trope we speak of is the good ole’ “walking away from explosions without looking at them.” However, in the case of this criminal duo, “falling” is more accurate.
The background is blurred due to the rapid speed at which Safecracker Evelynn and Pickpocket Twitch plummet toward the ground. A fiery explosion blossoms from the Piltover Bank behind them, with debris and glass raining all around.
Safecracker Evelynn is centre stage in this image, with Pickpocket Twitch acting as more of a sidekick. This makes sense – he’s just a simple pickpocket after all. Bank heists seem are probably out of his depth.
The loveable Rat seems to be enjoying his outing though, as he falls to his potential death with a cheesy grin on his face. With that said, calling him a Rat might not be correct, as Riot have transformed him into a new kind of animal altogether.
Raccoons have long had a reputation as thieves, due to the fact that they come with an inbuilt burglar eye mask. Or perhaps it’s because they’re known for rifling through trash. Either way, Pickpocket Twitch has his eyes set on a greater goal than week-old Chinese takeout.
On the Rift, Pickpocket Twitch holds his pistol with both paws. This seems fairly minor, but the reason he does is because it’s almost as big as he is! There’s something awfully cute about a tiny raccoon holding a pistol – even if he goes around shooting his enemies full of diseased bullets.
As for his outfit, he’s dressed in shades of brown and tan, which of course is the only way for a burglar to dress. He also has two venom casks strapped to his back that look like little grenades – and to top it off, he has an adorably bushy tail, along with a hat that looks similar to that worn by a famous raccoon.
Not only is he a Raccoon, but Sly Cooper is also a thief! It seems undeniable that Pickpocket Twitch was inspired by him. It has to be said that despite being similar to Sly Cooper, he still stands as a strong character in his own right.
If playing as a sneaky thief who skulks through the shadows and robs his foes of their lives, then this skin’s for you. You can pick it up from the Riot store for just 750 RP! Well worth it in our opinion.
