Description
- Adds the mechanics of breaking the locks of doors, windows and cars using a bobbypin or crowbar. Lockpicking is done with mini-games! - Adds a mini-game of lockpicking ignition using wires. Also, the ignition lock can be broken with a bobbypin and a screwdriver. - Adds the ability to check the alarms of home and cars - Adds the "Lockpicking" skill. - Adds the Lockpicking perk and expands the Burglar profession
Instruction
Alarm
To check the alarm, read the "Alarm for Dummies" magazine. Next, to check the house alarm, right-click on the window/door and select the menu item. To check the car alarm, select an item in the radial menu while standing at the car hood.
Lockpicking
- In order to start lockpicking you need to read the "Lockpicking for Dummies" magazine. To lockpick doors/windows, right-click on them and select lockpick. To break with a bobbypin, you need a bobbypin and a screwdriver. For breaking with a crowbar - a crowbar. - Also, your skill level should match the difficulty level of the lock. I recommend pumping the skill on easy locks (starting with very easy ones). - To hack a car, go to the door that you want to open and select an item in the radial menu. (the item will appear only if the door is locked) - When breaking with a bobbypin, you can try to unlock the lock by force if you are in a hurry. But the chance of success is small. - Mini-game lockpicking with a bobbypin - Similar to the logic of lockpicking from Fallout/Skyrim. You need to choose the desired angle of the bobbypin and turn the lock - Mini-game breaking with a crowbar - You need to press the Space bar in time to open the door faster.
Ignition switch
- Mini-game finding 2 ignition wires - you need to find 2 wires from the lower wires and connect them. - Now you can lockpick the ignition lock with a bobbypin (if your skill level matches the difficulty of the lock)
