Dial lock

[ctrCat]

Heya. Where can I find a dial lock?

Hey there OP, you can find dial lock in different containers located in the map, the drop depends on RNG.

Oh thx but what do u mean in different containers?) Do you mean I can find it in every city or just in military related city or bunkers?

You should be able to find it in any city.

Love them. Tired of those pesky raiders. It was imposible to play solo/duo against 10 men squad. Maybe it needs a little bit of adjustment. But breaking 20 golden locks in 10 min is not fun. I suggest devs shuold limit numer of dial locks (for example 3 + 1car per a flag), remove interection with lock protection, or make lock extreamly rare. But over all i love dial locks. <3

Players can put 3 dial locks on a prefab door with advanced shocker. NO ONE is going to sit there and guess 3x random 1/1000 numbers. And you don't even need to remember the code. You can just open the door like normal and remove the lock, change the code without even knowing the previous code.

And nobody said you have to? It's a survival game not a raiding game.

Therein lies your problem; your stance about what a survival game should be. Apparently protecting yourself from being raided isn't part of a survival game. By definition, survival is the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances. The potential for your belongings being taken from you and protecting yourself from that IS in fact a component of survival.

By your logic stating that this isn't a raiding game, than neither is one of the way you currently acquire loot/guns from inside a bunker, for example. Military bunkers in this game take measures to protect YOU from getting inside the containers/crates by locking them. Those have locks on them. Should they also be changed to combination locks so nobody can bypass them unless they know the three digit code? You picking those locks to get into them is exactly that.....raiding.

Using your brain to come up with an alternative way to protect yourself/stuff from getting taken is "survival." A dev handing you the ability to place a "magic lock" on an entry/exit point that nothing can happen to and completely removing YOUR obligation to come up with a way to "survive" is not making it a "survival game." Remove that threat or danger and you are no longer in a state of "survival." Apparently in your little "Harry Potter" world I just need to place a magical combination lock from my middle school gym locker on it so nobody can get through. *sarcasm on*.....Makes perfect sense....*sarcasm off.* Its just lazy. This is allegedly a survival game, not a Disney movie.

lol.. end of scum when the game is not even complete.. you dont know if this dial lock will be tweaked or stay or go but likely it will be debuffed like, one lock per door, 3 per flag total .. or maybe even less per flag.. yo can blast base walls, you cant fit much in a prefab and its not the devs fault servers allow "build anywhere" Servers can also likely turn off this lock from spawning or likely will be able to, so put away the tissues, drama queen.

it cant be picked. Thats not "real world," genius. Only the code opens it. If you are talking "real world," the game has a hacksaw in it, too.

They are only loot item. I think they are rare, but I know you can find them in bunkers.

You should be able to find it in any city.

:::::::::
Nope the cities are no loot zero loot because you removed the loot. It might be a bug but you still did it with this update.

You know the hotifx removed the ability to use zappers with dial locks right?

Lock picking was an easy way to get loot that people spent days to weeks getting.
Lock picking took a minute.
That was ♥♥♥♥. The combo lock was extreme but they knew nobody built bases anymore because it was a target in minutes for someone that didnt earn it.
Live with it for now because easy lock picking killed the game for years.

I found one in a military base. Looted the base like 20 times and have only found one. I get why people are upset with the new lock. Personally I play solo and just before the patch I got raided in a pre-fab building. They picked about 17 gold locks to get to my main loot and picking my vehicle as well. 4 of those doors where doubled up with advanced/med lock picking protection.

I was pretty salty about it and quit for awhile but came back with this last patch. I've built a base this time but so far have the one dial lock and am currently upgrading to metal. If I find a few more I might move my main loot into a pre-fab. All in all as solo player this lock is a god send.

very interesting to observe the completely opposite point of view.... point of view of thief. No, it is not the end of scum. I am a solo builder, loot harvester.... just try to survive. And I stoped to play scum after c4 introduction because game lost the sense for me... I hardly was collecting stгff... for weeks... for somebodies joy to raid me...
this new lock gives some hope for longer game for the simple builders/stalkers... and (thanks god) decreases chances of thiefs. This is my opinion
