Locked Cabinets, Gun Safes, And Drawers...hidden Key To Open...lock-Picking?

Recommended Posts

Title says it all!...almost.

Every so often, you may come across a locked safe, cabinet, or drawer that needs a key to open.

If you have a crowbar, then the drawer, or wooden cabinet would be easily forced open, but to open the safe

a key or combo is mandatory. Unless you find an extremely rare safe cracking kit.

The keys would be quite hard to find, needing to spend time in one place is more likely gonna get you spotted.

They might be under a bed or in a bowl on a table that's hard to notice right away. It could also be on a nearby zombie that's roaming the same town.

Maybe even certain houses are locked that have extra goodies in them and lock-picking could be implemented.

I could see a bad ass lock picking system in DayZ. Maybe you can pick locks with bobby pins, but they are harder and take longer and very hard to spot.

Or you could find a lock-picking kit to pick any lock, but these kits will be extremely rare.

What do you think?

Not bad at all :)
I actually like the idea of having to look closely for keys in a house.

They had this is the mod Aftermath, you needed a crowbar to open boxes and shit. I support this

I support the idea of being able to bypass all but heavy duty safes with the crowbar.

 

gives that item a use finally.

As long as safe-cracking requires a rare or hard to craft tool and not a mini game, it's got my vote.
