There's 1 explosive charge in the Sanctuary Root Cellar crate as an introduction to the devices.Some devices can rarely be found in Loot.Lock breaching devices do not affect active skill gain while performing in the field, however crafting them will increase skill (see below). If no high level devices for low level locks are available, it will then use a high level device.Ĭrafting devices needs appropiate Skill points and devices are available to craft using the Tech Lab and/or Field Kit. The system will always try to use the more advanced devices first on lower lock difficulties. Once the player carries high level devices there is technically no need to craft low level devices (except skill gain and earning caps). High level version is given the suffix, these can break all locks.Low level version is given the suffix, these can only break novice and advanced locks.Upon breaking into doors that zone into other areas, the act of animating the door automatically zones the player inside same as normal lockpicking. All devices make loud noises, and aren't supposed to be a stealthy way to open locks. When a device is activated, the lock is unusable until the process is finished. Lock breaching lasts a few seconds, during which the player can devote himself to other tasks for a moment, only breaking locks actively involves the player. Each specific lock breaching controller is set to "On" by default but can be turned "Off" in the Horizon Holotape which may be usefull, in case of another mod interfering with this option. Based on the players position, standing or crouching, a third activator key allow to use a specific lock breaching device.

There are several ways to craft lock breaching devices.Ī terminal can be hacked fully automatically without having to actively intervene in the process, locks can be blown and/or forced open. Horizon has its own style of breaching locks, which is balanced around the gameplay. Most players even just bypass it completely, which removes some of the immersive feel from breaking locks. They were interesting the first few times you use it, but have become tiring over 3 games. Many players have grown tired of the old lockpicking and hacking mini-games.
