Vault City doors

[Panda]

Real shizz. I have tried everything. I. Have. Tried. Everything.
str 6 + buffout = 8 + crowbar.
Explosives.
molotovs.
snap kicking, hammer punching.
bout to try power fist punching. Other than that nope. fallout 2 sucks at this point.

You sure you're using the crowbar properly?

yup. used it in attack and took it out and right clicked door and applied
both ways dont work.
every other battering metho had 80% (cause 10 str from buffouts) aaaaand didnt work.
I tried every other door, and managed to open two "due to my raw physical strength"
But not the door that mattered.

But its too late now. I already got the vault tec chip from eldridge and did the whole repair and stuff. and then my game decied it was so buggy it crashed and corrupted all my save files. Skipping it. going to 3 when I get the chance to download it.

Vault 8 Level 2 Bottom left middle room where Vault Tec VC is located, as well as Top left, and top right middle.
(The one in the middle of those two doors, top left middle, was the one I apparently pried open with raw physical strength just by trying to open twice)
Also couldn't open Level 3 Locker room door. I didn't try much as this was after the hour of trying stuff on level 2.

Hmm for level two you may need power armor to open(4 str bonus) and as for the third floor you probably need lock picking skill and either regular lockpicks (expanded set recommended) or electronic set (mkll recommended)

my lockpicking was 16% the only thing I didnt try was electronic lock picks because I didnt have mony for them and I was pressed for time, especially since the game seems to spam encounters on me (sometimes world map doesnt even more, it just queues another encounter the moment I click anything)
as for strength, I was already at 10 (hence the raw physical on the other door) aftr that I spent a good 5-10 minutes spam clicking the door i wanted to see if it would just open. it did not.

the worse part about this is that I dont want to build a character solely off of lock picking or stealing (Cause later in game I want combat alpha) because I was investing all of it into unarmed and energy (ended up with a char that had 60+ unarmed, so I figured I'd gear up for the power fist meta) (alrady 100+ small guns) and I always put a lot on speech simply for the progression (cause come on. smooth operator)

You can only open those 2 jammed doors with raw strength, everything else you need electronic lockpick and lockpicking skills, you can find electronic lockpick in New Reno, it's under New Reno Arms shop, stairs are hidden behind self at the back room guarded by dogs, it's also place where you can upgrade your weapons for free.

I'm sorry to tell you this but in this game there are a lot of locked doors/lockers and it's always recommended to have lockpicking tagged to get it high enough fast. But don't worry there really is no timelimit like in the first fallout game so you should be able to level up quite a bit and you should be swimming in skillpoints by level 24.

yup. I figured that when I just went ahead and bought my way through. ended up getting the car and power armor, only to find out theres doors in earl game dungeons I cant open.
*Recruits vic, repairs generators I couldnt, finds out the elevator door needs to be lockpicked* bullsh-

Thanks for the post. Spent half the time running around to figure how to open those doors.
Tried using jet to have Strength at 10 but still will not work.

The reason these doors at floor 2 of Vault 8 in Vault City are important is because there are apparently some important items there for the main quest for Arroyo with finding the GECK.

Passions were high when I said "FO 2 sucks" The rest of the game is quality like the first and such.

I don't remember what I did for this at all

The door at floor 2 has the computer voice module needed to get the GECK from Vault 13.

There's other ways to get the module, and you don't actually need it to get the GECK. Murder is always an option.

Among peaceful options there is also one in New Reno for money.

But it does not make sense why Vault 8 doors are locked shut. Unless one is intended to use lockpicking with electronic lockpicks.
