Unlocking Safes in 7 Days to Die
Safes can be unlocked by two different methods. The first one is based on using a lockpick and bypassing its lock or you can simply break down its lock with an appropriate tool or a weapon.
The lockpick method can be tricky sometimes. As unlocking the safe with a lockpick goes random. Sometimes the lockpick breaks down when the timer starts during the unlocking process. This is a completely random thing. So, you need a few of those lockpicks to unlock a single safe.
The lockpicks can be found in the loots and also you can craft them if you have learned their recipe by reading the Forge Ahead magazine. Once the recipe is available, you will have to gather the following items to craft it at Workbench.
- 1x Forged Iron
- 1x Mechanical Parts
These items will give you 1x Lockpick. Gather these items in a larger quantity and craft multiple lockpicks at once.
The next method is based on using tools and weapons to destroy the lock. Since the game has many destroyable structures with no exception to safes, it becomes easier to do this job. Although, it takes a lot of time to complete this task and grab those useful things. Especially, when you don’t have the right tool.
The safes have a health bar just like the other blocks in the game. This health bar should be brought down to zero and it will be unlocked, which allows the player to pick up the stuff from inside of the safe.
Here you can make use of Pickaxes or a TNT. Using a pickaxe is an easy method as you can obtain it far more easily compared to a TNT. However, with a TNT, the safe can be destroyed almost instantly.
Here’s how you can craft a TNT.
- 1x Plant Fibers
- 20x Gun Powder
- 2x Duct Tape
- 10x Paper
Collect these items and head towards the Workbench to craft your TNT.
