Black Friday Janitor Abilities and Leveling Guide

Black Friday Janitor has a progression system built around unlocking abilities and strengthening janitorial skills. This page records only names and behavior supported by official material.

Which ability names are verified?

The patch note confirms the name and the targeting adjustment. It does not publish Gather’s unlock level, range, cooldown, upgrade cost or exact selection logic.

What does leveling unlock?

The official store page states that abilities can be unlocked and strengthened to speed up mall cleanup. The Steam achievement list also includes Head Custodian for reaching the maximum level.

Neither source publishes a numeric level cap or a complete ability tree. Those fields remain pending instead of being inferred from early reviews.

How should you choose upgrades?

Use the task mix in the zone you are actively clearing:

• Prefer upgrades that reduce repeated travel when product placement dominates.
• Prefer cleanup throughput when a route contains dense rubbish or spills.
• Re-evaluate after completing a store rather than changing the route around every level.
• Keep one session note for the ability level and the observed effect.

This is a planning framework, not a claim about exact ability values. Pair it with the task progress guide and cleaning workflow.

How did v1.0.4 affect Gather?

Some products are shared across stores. Before the adjustment, Gather could select an item associated with a different store more often than intended. The developer says v1.0.4 makes that much less likely.

It does not mean every gathered product is guaranteed to belong to the nearest store. Keep uncertain products local and use the store directory rather than carrying them across the mall.

What information is still pending?

• Full ability list and exact names.
• Unlock order and required levels.
• Upgrade costs and maximum ranks.
• Range, capacity, cooldown and speed values.
• Numeric maximum player level.

When these fields are reproduced in-game, they can be added as a versioned table. Check the updates hub before relying on older values.
