OVERVIEW Forcing locks is back! You now have the option to force open locks that are 1 level below your Locksmith perk level, to bash open locks that are 1 level below your Basher level, and to shoot open locks below your Penetrator level! All options come with minor risks and minor rewards. | IMPORTANT: You need the first level of the method’s respective perk to see the option. E.X. You must have Locksmith Rank 1 to see the option to force locks. | You now have the option to save a little time, at the cost of a small amount of XP and a potential minor inconvenience. Forcing and unjamming locks comes with sound effects and toggleable notifications. Bashing locks comes with sound effects, toggleable notifications, randomized animations, and randomized sounds. Shooting locks comes with sound effects, toggleable notifications, and ammo loss. | The video on the modpage shows the system in action. | ESL-FLAGGED ESP | NO VANILLA EDITS | COMPATIBLE WITH EVERYTHING THAT DOESN’T DO THE SAME THING | INSTALL AT ANY TIME
BREAKDOWN Once you unjam a failed forced lock, you no longer have the ability to force it open. You must pick the lock normally. Locks are unjammed by pressing interact a handful of times. Bashing locks costs a very small amount of health. | In true RPG fashion, your SPECIAL stats determine your success with forcing locks and unjamming locks. You can determine if Perception, Agility, or Luck is your determining factor in the MCM. Strength is the determining SPECIAL stat for bashing open locks. Perception is the determining SPECIAL stat for shooting open locks. | If XP is enabled in the MCM, forcing a lock open grants roughly half of the XP that you would recieve from normally picking that lock. | You can only pick locks that are 1 level below your relevant perk level. Master locks cannot be forced. |
