B42 Disassemble Metal Doors does not work?
I have
- Wielding
- Wielding Torch
- Wielding Mask
- Level 0 metalworking

I clicked disassemble 100+ times, did not work. No animation / nothing. Wielding Torch is also not losing fuel.


Solution: just hit the door with any object around 20 times and it will break open.

When I walk away from the door, he will walk to the door but does not start disassembling it.
Tried around 100 times now

propane in your torch?
You can't disassemble metal doors if you can't open them. Idk why though. Could be a bug.

Yes, there is propane inside the Torch and yes the door is locked.

Might just be a bug unless someone else finds this and can give an solution :(
The only reason I would ever disassemble a door is because its locked.

For the specific building, could build stairs up to a window on the second floor, or try to pry it open soon as I find a crowbar, so its not all lost lol.

nope im pretty sure they want you to open it first because ppl cheese em like that - for me it has more multiplayer significance than single player but dont "fix it" instead beat it down with a hammer of some sort (its not too bad)

I had the same issue. Brown building in Echo, right by the produce stand at the intersection. Bay door and man door both locked. Torch just would do nothing. I beat on it with a metal pipe for a while then decided to use a crowbar. No option to “pry” or anything. Just bashed it repeatedly till it finally broke.

That's the exact door in question :D

It's not just metal doors. I've had the same problem with wooden doors too. Not every door but some doors you just can't disassemble for some reason. Your character starts to do it but then immediately stops.

Yup, turns out if you bang around 20 times with a metal pipe against a metal door it just breaks.

idk about you guys but I can hit a metal door 1000 times irl with a metal pipe and it won't make much of a difference.

Guess game logic vs real logic lol
