Some digilocks are unsolvable
Each time you go into a digilock it randomly generates. Some of these random generations are actually unsolvable and wastes your locks. Please fix this.

havent ran into this issue once. It may be how it is approached I solve all the rings before submitting the first one. I have completed the lockpicking tree as well.

just save before a lock and reload and it will change the lock if you cant solve it but i havent had any trouble with unsolvable locks yet

I don't think that's true. You just need to git gud. I thought this was the case once, but I was eventually able to solve it.

That only happens if you use them in the wrong combination. Some of the options can be used on one of multiple layers but you can flubb it if you use them in the wrong combination. I think rank 2 high lights blue the layer that the picks can be used on. You can also select which one you are currently using, you don't have to go left to right and top to bottom.

It happened to me on the Barrett and Heller mission. I was down to one digipik and had to reload a save a few times to get it right as the pattern kept changing.

I have not experienced this.

There are times when you can use picks in the wrong place (i.e. even though they fit, it wasn't the right place to use it) resulting in an unsolvable lock. But I have yet to see one that can't be solved if you do not do that.

I thought I was just doing them wrong but I have ran into a few where it doesn't make sense considering the combinations given.

For me it became much easier once I started figuring out the right combo for the innermost lock first and then work my way out to the outer ring. Then you can't be fooled into using the wrong one on the outermost lock.

theres also an auto thing you can unlock if you level security up which i find helps the end layers if you use that on the first layer

If you don't understand it then it will feel that way

No, it IS true. I have sat and mapped them out.
For example, one of my locks had only 1 available 1 "tick" on the right, but the lock itself had 2 rings that required 1 tick, thus meaning I was unable to actually solve the lock.

It's not a 5head 600iq concept, man. You're matching shapes to holes, but sometimes they don't give you enough shapes that fit the right holes.

Skill issue. Nah but it is confusing at first and the game definitely leads you think some are bugged/impossible. Not all the picks work for both the inside/outside rings and it tells you which one it works for by glowing blue. Some do work for both and you have to figure which combos you need

I do understand it. You match shapes to holes.
When a puzzle requires two rings that have only one hole, but they only give you one shape that has a 1 shape slot, you're boned at that point.

It's like if I gave you a puzzle with 2 triangles in it, but only gave you one triangle shape.
