Full Guide
Where to get the lockpick
Visit Goat Eyes around Quisach Roundabout and prioritize the 30 sol lockpick. If you are short on money, delay optional purchases and gather early Sol before returning.
Why buy it first
The lockpick is a route tool, not just an item. It supports quiet entry, optional exploration, and lower-noise solutions. It also helps avoid spending early money on items that solve fewer problems.
Lockpick vs prybar vs chain cutters
The lockpick is quiet and flexible. The prybar is more forceful and quest-gated. Chain cutters are useful for barriers, especially around dock or industrial routes. Owning all three gives the widest route coverage.
Build support
Sensors helps you notice locked or hidden routes. Coordination supports careful physical handling. Shadowplay helps if the lockpick is part of a stealthy route. Records helps you remember where locked routes were found.
When to save
Save before entering a locked area if the scene feels guarded, faction-sensitive, or time-limited. Quiet entry can still create consequences if the area is restricted.
Common Mistakes
- Buying the gun before the 30 sol lockpick on a first run.
- Assuming every locked path needs force.
- Forgetting to return to previously locked areas.
- Using only autosaves before restricted-area entry.
