Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout TacticsEdit

Example: A starting Perception of 5 and Agility of 5.

The use of lock picks or the expanded lock pick set for mechanical locks, the electronic lock pick or the electronic lock pick Mk II for electronic locks will significantly enhance this skill. In Fallout 2, this skill can also be used to lock doors, allowing the player to trap enemies in or lock them out of rooms. The first time a lock is picked there is a chance it will jam.

Fallout 3Edit

Example: A starting Perception of 5 and Luck of 5.

In Fallout 3, your Lockpick skill determines which locks the game will allow you to attempt to pick. Your skill must be at least the lock rating to try, and locks are rated at 25% increments: Very Easy - 0%, Easy - 25%, Average - 50%, Hard - 75% and Very Hard - 100%. If you have the prerequisite skill, picking a lock takes the form of a mini game (see Lock for details).

Because lock picking is based on the above thresholds, many players see little reason to invest more points in this skill beyond the level of lock you want to have access to. However, increasing the skill also increases the probability of successfully forcing the lock open, which, combined with the Infiltrator perk, can be a somewhat effective (if potentially wasteful) convenience mechanism. You can find the chance of forcing the lock by taking your skill, subtracting the requirement for the lock and adding 10%.

Example: Skill of 67 - Average lock (50) + 10 = 27% Chance.

Fallout: New VegasEdit

Example: A starting Perception of 5 and Luck of 5.

Lockpick in Fallout: New Vegas operates in much the same way as Fallout 3, with your Lockpick skill determines which locks the game will allow you to attempt to pick. Your skill must be at least the lock rating to try, and locks are rated at 25% increments: Very Easy - 0%, Easy - 25%, Average - 50%, Hard - 75% and Very Hard - 100%. If you have the prerequisite skill, picking a lock takes the form of a mini game (see Lock for details).

Because lock picking is based on the above thresholds, many players see little reason to invest more points in this skill beyond the level of lock you want to have access to. However, increasing the skill also increases the probability of successfully forcing the lock open, which, combined with the Infiltrator perk, can be a somewhat effective (if potentially wasteful) convenience mechanism. You can find the chance of forcing the lock by taking your skill, subtracting the requirement for the lock and adding 10%.

Example: Skill of 67 - Average lock (50) + 10 = 27% Chance.
