I wish there was ACTUAL loot behind master lock things

[Vahnkiljoy]

Seriously, opening a master locked large box only to recieve like a zero wire, that's just super ♥♥♥♥♥♥, not even credits or ammo, meanwhile I can open a novice safe or door and gets guns that should NOT be behind such a lock or ammo and credits. Whoever did the loot behind locks sucks as a dev.

This has been an issue with Bethesda games for a while unfortunately

Yet another thing I hope will be fixed by modders down the line

[YeenBean]

But hey, at least you got another digipick.

[Ellorien]

How about opening an expert locked weapon container just to find out it’s empty.
RNG.

I haven't experienced it yet but there is a lot of people finding empty crates with advanced or master locks.
There is plenty of nothing in most boxes and safes so I just keep my digipicks to unlock doors. I do like the minigame though. It's way better than lockpicking in Skyrim.

I see it as a bit of much needed realism. There are whole crappy reality TV series spun around what treasures are or aren't contained in auctioned of storage lockers... and I bet more times than not it isn't much more than dirty underwear and some stuff not even the land fill really wants.

Yeah, I mean, like anyone would buy a very obvious safe, leave it in a very obvious place, and obviously NOT place their actual valuables in it? What kind of inconsiderate, law-abiding, do-gooder would do such a thing? How's a thief supposed to steal a living?

So you are saying that only those with better lock picking should get the good items...???

[The Bird]

Picking Master locks, to get toaster adds to replayabilyty

[ZombieHunter]

We had this in Skyrim as well. Remember the locked cases that contained daggers in Whiterun castle? They were locked and the items were low level, and the items were not even 'stolen' items when you took them.

A digipick costs 30 credits. Opening a master lock that gives you a couple thousand credits, some ammo, and resources is pure profit.

That can be because NPC mobs can magically loot those locked containers. I seen it happen a few times.

At least it is am improvement over NPC looting the Overboss's chest and crashing your game.

The lock picking mini game while decent isn't worth doing from XP/time and credits/time perspective. You are better off speed running POIs with a bounty and picking up all weapons. Obviously, you need to upgrade your carry capacity for this.

Not only is the lockpicking mini game worse than that of Fo4/TESV but it's also over-done in such a way it becomes a massive snooze. Of course players are going to unlock doors and chests - it's a core part of the exploration, but why the ♥♥♥♥ is EVERYTHING locked?
I can visit 1 random generated science lab or whatever and find more locked chests, doors, lockers and whatever the ♥♥♥♥ there, than I can in all of FNV. It's absurdly over done, it becomes so time consuming just unlocking all the time.

[DocBravo]

That's Bethesda!!
Skyrim: Dungeons that hadn't been explored in hundreds of years still have lit candles and other light sources.
Fallout: Safes that have been shut since before the war have post-war items in them like bottlecaps and crudely made weapons and other things.
They're hoping the dopamine rush from "loot" makes you forget the absurdity of it.

I can see having the locks, what I cannot see is how nobody has the keys to them....lol.

Some POIs do have keys for certain doors laying around though.
