Lockpicks

[Hearts Of Iron]

How common are they? Are they effective or just a waste of inventory space? I just found one and wanted to know is it an item that is rare enough to the point where it make sense to actually use it to barricade yourself and have a good old shootout.

Its good against all kinds of melee people who dont know how to crush a door open or dont have a good enough melee weapon for it, also good alarm for someone trying to breach into the place you are camping/eating at.

It just happened to save my and my friends lives, we barricaded into a two floor building in gorka, and made a campfire to eat and get warm, we locked 4 doors, two front doors and two in the staircase.

We heard someone running in the yard, and i happened to see he had a shotgun, he started shooting trough the doors, and it made it so slow for him that he ran out of pellets. he gave up and left.

So yeah, it saves against people who dont have melee weapon, or are too lazy to go somewhere else, get a weapon good enough for breaching locked doors.

The church in electro once locked can't be opened with a melee weapon I found out when i was being chased by group of 4 people.

Cool, I am happy that they added a counter to it otherwise locked doors would be a pain. Thanks.

Not with the loot system that is in now. so many melee weapons to open doors with. even punches will do, axe is the best for one hitting a door open.

when loot gets more rare and the lockpick even rarer, its going to be a valuable item for group/solo survival.

be careful not to stand behind your locked door... My friend locked up one of the new pub doors, some guy shot right through it and hit him... he died before the guy even got in the room... I tested shooting through the pub doors... and there was no bullet ricochet on the wall behind it... so idk about that one.

cool, good thing I held onto 2 of these.

I just locked all doors in Dolina on a peristant server. Going to set up a small camp and hopefully watch someone stumble onto whole town of locked doors lol

Good rule of thumb, expect everybody to have them. I have found three during my short trip today so they are not that hard to find.

Good rule of thumb is to expect everybody to kill you.
