Cargo drop and crowbar

[Aymes]

I don't enjoy the lockpicking minigame so I have my own server with locks turned off.
I went to a cargo drop and all the containers say "locked" in spite of the server settings. So I thought - ok no big deal I'll just use a crowbar. Either I don't know how to use a crowbar, or you can't crowbar the lock either.

As long as you have the crowbar in your hand, shouldn't I be able to walk up to the lock and get a message that says "force lock"? It just says locked for me.

Maybe you need to hold "F" to show alternative options? I don't know exactly how to use the crowbar because I always lockpick. With a little practice it's easy.

Hello :),

Cargo Drops are a special Event. They will always be locked. However, the locks on the Cargo drops are "Easy" or Rusty ones and thus relatively simple to unlock with a bit practise.

Apart from it the Crowbar should do fine. Hold "F" for opening the context menu and see if the option is aviable here.

I am not 100% sure, but you may also want to check if Lockpicking is disabled inside of the Zone Tool. If it is globally disabled, locks can not be unlocked anyway.

Yep this is correct, in any case let us know so if there is an issue we can check it out.

Holding "F" is NOT opening a context menu while holding a crowbar. Is this by design or a bug?

Best to do is to check the Server Settings>>>Zone tool as mentioned to see if Lockpicking is Disabled (Blocked) on Global Settings.
