No more easy lockpicking?

Have the locked boxes become normally locked now?
Just tried to unlock a box in an air drop. The bobby pin crafted lock picks break super quick and I only have a 4 second counter now instead of 10?

Airdrops are like normal locks. Weapons lockers in pd's and bunkers are still easy.

Ok thanks. Was it always like this? I seem to remember being able to pick air drops easily?

If i remember right when they added the locks to airdrops they were like normal locks. But can't remember exactly to be honest.

The airdrops can spawn with silver or gold locks and not just rusty. If you had one with a 4 second timer it was a gold lock. Most will have the rusty 10 second timer locks.

Thats bad imo. People should have the chance to lockpick those airdrops easier. I mean you allready need to run/drive to the airdrop position and risk it to encounter at least one player or puppets. You also need to wait a long time for a drop on the official servers (private servers aside). It would be perfect if the airdrops have a silver lock but easier to lockpick then player locks. Player locks should stay as hard as atm and those POI locks should always be easier to lockpick. I love scum and played this game for like 900h, but this is a bad decision.

Cabinets in the supply drops were locked just recently ... depending on the community feedback this can change. Locked cabinets in police stations and similar locations are very easy to pick.

What items can be inside the locked cabinet on airdrops?

The locked cabinets are the weapons.

Air drops can have any weapon from a bow and arrow to an RPK in them, the tougher the lock the better the weapon.

Unlocked is usually a standard bow, 10 second locks are pistols or shotguns and compound bows.

Depending on the item inside it will be harder to pick the lock with an svd in then it is for the lock that got a pistol.

Are they always weapons or typical SCUM like rubber bands and santa suits?

From my experience so far there is always a weapon inside.

This has been what I've found as well.

The Air Drop locked containers are weapons, ammo, and magazines, or possibly compound bow, stabilizer, quiver, 3 stacks of arrows, and string silencers. So, you'll have everything you need to start shooting. The other 5 non locked containers in the air drop pod contain food, 3X medical bandage packs, vehicle repair kit, gas can, 4X large tool kits. The air drops are worth chasing down if you are starting out as they offer a lot of reward for the risk. Well geared PvP players use them as bait to ambush other players. If you can get to them within 5 minutes, get in, get the goods, and get out. The longer it takes you to get there the higher chance someone will be there as well.

Save good lockpicks for the air drop containers and use bobby pin lock picks for police stations where you are not rushed for time.
