Find Crypto Wallets and Cold Keys during Midtown robberies, then open them with Hacker or the Automatic Crypto Hacker in Criminal Simulator on Roblox.
These are in-game loot items that award cash after a successful unlock. Finding one is only half the job: you also need the right Black Market purchase and a plan for handling password attempts. Compare the opening tools below, check the Midtown search locations, and follow the setup steps before committing your loot to either method.
Which opening tool should you buy?
Both tools come from the Black Market computer inside your truck, but they sit in different shop sections. Their prices, level requirements, and handling differ.
| Opening tool | Purchase requirement | Black Market section | How it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hacker upgrade | $8,000 at Level 20, or 119 Robux at any level | Upgrades | You enter four-digit passwords manually |
| Automatic Crypto Hacker | $25,000 at Level 50 | Furniture | A machine attempts passwords for you |
Hacker is the earlier, cheaper cash purchase. Choose it if you want to start opening loot before the machine becomes available. Its Robux option bypasses the level requirement, but waiting for the cash unlock avoids spending Robux.
The Automatic Crypto Hacker costs $17,000 more and has a higher chance of success than manual guessing. It is the stronger choice when protecting valuable loot is your priority and you meet its purchase requirements.
Black Market Hacker upgrade
You can use either opening method. Buying Hacker first is a progression choice, not a prerequisite for purchasing the machine. If you are close to the automatic option and can afford it, saving avoids paying for a manual tool you may soon stop using.
Where to find Crypto Wallets and Cold Keys
Both items can appear at the following four Midtown robbery locations. Their spawns are not guaranteed, so an empty search area is a reason to check another location, not proof that you missed an item.
Meridian Tower and the Bank
At Meridian Tower, head to the fourth floor and inspect the tables and podiums. If you find neither item there, check the third floor before leaving.
At the Bank, search the Vault Room and the individual vaults inside it. Several Crypto Wallets and Cold Keys can appear within this area, so checking only the main room can leave potential loot behind.
These buildings are useful starting points because their search areas are clearly defined. Sweep the tower's surfaces or the Bank's vault area before moving on to a less predictable stop.

Maison Verra and Armored Trucks
Maison Verra has a small chance to spawn either item. Check it when a robbery already takes you there, but avoid making it your only stop when specifically searching for crypto loot.
Armored Trucks carrying the Bank's belongings can also contain Crypto Wallets and Cold Keys. Accessing their cargo requires combat:
- Defeat all four guards.
- Collect the Armored Truck Key.
- Use it to open the truck's rear door, then search the cargo.
The Armored Truck Key opens the vehicle. A Cold Key is a separate loot item that still needs to be hacked after you collect it. Getting into the truck does not unlock the Cold Keys inside.
How to open loot manually with Hacker
Buy Hacker through the Black Market computer's Upgrades menu. Once you own the upgrade, interacting with a Crypto Wallet or Cold Key opens its password screen.
The manual opening process is:
- Interact with the Crypto Wallet or Cold Key.
- Enter a four-digit password in the password menu.
- Submit the entry and check the result before making another attempt.
An incorrect password consumes one attempt on that item.
Careful typing can prevent accidental entries, but it does not make an incorrect password work. Avoid submitting a combination that has already failed, since repeating it spends another attempt without trying a different password.
The manual option lets you open loot earlier in progression, but its lower purchase price comes with a weaker success chance. A valuable item is not a reason to rush through the keypad.
How to set up the Automatic Crypto Hacker
Buy and unpack the machine
The Automatic Crypto Hacker is furniture, so buying it does not immediately place a working machine inside your truck. Select it through the Black Market computer's Furniture section, then collect its delivery.
After purchasing it:
- Pick up the box that appears outside your truck.
- Carry the box inside.
- Open it to unpack the Automatic Crypto Hacker.
- Place the machine wherever you prefer inside the truck.
The delivery box is part of the setup process. If you have paid for the furniture but do not have a placed machine, check outside the truck for the package.
Load a Crypto Wallet or Cold Key
Put the loot item on the platform beside the machine's keyboard. The Automatic Crypto Hacker will attempt up to 10 passwords without requiring you to type each combination.
Automatic hacking can still fail and leave the item locked. The machine improves your chance of success; it does not turn every wallet or Cold Key into a guaranteed payout.
For rarer loot, choose your opening method before spending manual attempts. If the machine is already within reach of your level and budget, it offers the better chance of recovering the contents.
What Crypto Wallets and Cold Keys can pay
Crypto Wallets may also be called Crypto Hardware Wallets. Both names refer to the wallet loot you are searching for, so include that label when checking what you have collected.
| Loot item | Cash reward |
|---|---|
| Crypto Wallet | $1,000 to $5,000 |
| Cold Key | Up to $70,000 |
Cold Keys are harder to obtain and have a greater chance of becoming permanently locked. Their larger potential reward makes choosing the stronger opening method especially useful, but a higher ceiling does not guarantee a large payout.
A single Crypto Wallet cannot cover Hacker's cash purchase price, even at its maximum reward. A high-paying Cold Key can cover either opening tool, but you should not budget around receiving its maximum.
Buy your tool with cash you can already afford to spend. Treat the contents of an unopened Cold Key as potential loot, not money already in your balance.
