How to Lower Heat in Evil Genius 2: World Domination

In this article, we are going to discuss how to lower heat in Evil Genius 2: World Domination!

Running schemes in Evil Genuis 2 can bring you large sums of gold, but if you neglect your heat levels, the forces of justice will put a stop to your entire criminal operations. That said, here’s how to manage your heat levels in Evil Genius 2.

How to lower heat in Evil Genius 2

To manage your heat in Evil Genius 2, you will need to watch the levels as they increase and run purple schemes. Purple schemes are a special variant of schemes that lower your heat level. However, you will need money to run them – usually around 10k and up, there are also ones that require three minions, but these take longer to complete. 

The ones that cost money will lower heat levels instantly but will cost quite a lot, and you can find all of these schemes in the same locations on the world map as other ones. To start one, just find a purple icon and click start scheme to begin it.

After purple schemes, your next option to lower heat is researching tech that lowers the amount of heat generated, but other than that, your main method for lowering heat is purple schemes. 

We also highly recommend saving money to do just that, as if you let heat build-up, it will completely shut down a criminal network on the world map and bring unwanted attention to your lair. 

Due to this, you will need to manage how many schemes you run at once. We also suggest avoiding running too many at once and don’t have too many networks until you are sure you can manage all of them. 

Because if you have too many networks, you will find yourself running out of money fast as it costs a lot to lower heat and will bankrupt you if you are trying to manage a ton of networks at once.

You can try to avoid this by running the purple schemes that require minions, but these seem to pop up less than the money ones. Due to that, you are better off starting slow and working your way up to the point where you can support large criminal operations.
