Opening lockers

[Slick]

There are alot of lockers and cases that are locked and I can't find any keys is there something I'm missing. Please help

If I remember correctly, most of them simply can't be opened.

In some rare cases you can catch a guard opening one at some point during his routine. But killing the guard before he opens the locker won't work because Artyom apparently doesn't search guards for keys, only equipment.

I believe some things will be opened for you depending on your actions. Like a locked locker, if you wait long enough an AI will walk there an open it. Some doors seem only to open if you start a fight and not go for the sneaking kills. It could also just be random but thats how I thought it worked..

Yeah it was quite odd at the beginning, I mean they could have just not included the hand icon there instead of showing the lock itself. It was confusing and for a while I thought I'd be able to find a key.

Throughout the game I came across only two instances when a locker and a closed, barred door was opened if I waited long enough (bear in mind that the first is related to an achievement).
