[AH] Lockpick

Description
This mod overrides the vanilla handcuffs. Incompatibilities may arise with other mods that override the very same item.



Being handcuffed is no longer the end.
Now you can always try to lockpick your way out of your cuffs. To start lockpicking simply crouch (CTRL key by default) and stay still. The sound may alert nearby security of your escape attempt.

When you successfully lockpick the handcuffs they will break. Broken handcuffs can be easily removed at any time.

Lockpicking unbroken handcuffs with no tools is possible but will take a long, long time. This mod includes two items to help with that: the lockpick and the hairpin.

The lockpick will pick your cuffs away in mere seconds. It's also useful in order to open doors and hatches, much like the crowbar is.
You can use your lockpick as a weapon not unlike a screwdriver, but doing so will wear it away until it's no longer useful.

The hairpin can also help with lockpicking but is slower than the lockpick. It can't be used to open doors or hatches and it can't be used as a weapon, but you can wear it as a hat (unseen) and it still works from that inventory slot.

Known issues:
  • There are some situations in which lockpicking also works by walking backwards.
  • Neither the lockpick nor the hairpin work when inside the toolbelt.

If it's a couple of minutes, yes. To prevent soft-locks in single player when handcuffing oneself, and to promote active security officers overseeing the prisoners.
If it's like 20 seconds or less without a lockpick or hairpin then it's a bug.

the handcuffs come off without lock picks! Is this how it's supposed to work?

Truthfully I have no idea, I haven't opened this game in a while. Judging by the amount of current subscribers I'd assume that it works.
There was something in the latest changelogs about a rework in modded GUI elements, which could affect this mod because a checkbox should show up in the bottom of your screen to enable and disable the lockpicking action.

is this still working? can seem to get it to work, nothing happens when crouching and staying still with a lockpick in your inventory?

You cant lockpick cuffs

The lockpicks don't open doors and hatches at all.

I'm busy in real life, unfortunately.
But I think it still works fine.
