Gun Safes
I tried to open a Gun Safe with the stone axe and instead of opening it was destroyed. In what way were these changed? Did the prop change or did the method to open it change?

Can still look like a normal gunsafe at first glance.
You cant search them and if you hit them till they reach 0 HP they are destroyed.
Maybe you did run into one of those.

no idea why it did that for you. the ones i've opened worked the same by smashing or lockpicking. make sure it says (locked) or whatnot if you're going to smash it /grin

Maybe you had damaged it enough to open it but you didn't notice? Then kept hammering away until it was destroyed which will happen.

This happened to me a few days ago. Though it’s my fault for not checking to see if it was unlocked……my buddy who was brand new to the game starts chopping at the gun safe, so I just join in. Thing had like 5,000 HP so it took a bit. We got down to the end, poof, gone. I assume it was either just a deco piece or it was actually unlocked and I didn’t notice. I could’ve sworn I attempted to open it though, and it said locked….🤔

I've done that more than once. Not with a gun safe and a stone axe, though. That would take ages.

Not as often as I've destroyed lootable crates, though. Once you get to the stage where you can one-shot them with an axe, it's relatively easy to swing twice and destroy the crate.

Ugh, that would suck. It takes 5 minutes of hold the left mouse button. Hehe

Yes lmao, it was one with the door ajar. Took that baby down with a level 1 stone axe only for it to disappear LOL. Tink Tink Tink.... seven years later.....

The thing is in Alpha 20 it was a legit safe that could be looted so I didn't expect it and wasn't focusing on it being slightly ajar.
