Lockpick

Lockpick is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics and Fallout: New Vegas skill.

It is the skill of opening locks without the proper key.

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics
The use of lockpicks or the Expanded Lock Pick Set for mechanical locks, the electronic lockpicks or the Electronic Lock Pick MK II for electronic locks will greatly enhance this skill.


 * $$\text{Initial level}=20\%+\frac{1\%\times(\text{Perception}+\text{Agility})}{2}$$

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


 * $$20\%+\frac{1\%\times(5+5)}{2}=25\%$$


 * The first time a lock is picked there is a chance it will jam.

Fallout 3

 * $$\text{Initial level}=2+(\text{Perception}\times2)+\left\lceil\frac{\text{Luck}}{2}\right\rceil$$

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


 * $$2+(5\times2)+\left\lceil\frac{5}{2}\right\rceil=15$$

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%. Thus, there is little reason to invest more points in this skill beyond the level of lock you want to have access to. If you have the prerequisite skill, picking a lock takes the form of a mini game. See Lock for details.

Bugs

 * When picking locks, sometimes you will get the hack screen overlaying your lock. You will be able to see the bobby pin peaking out on the right or left and it is still possible to pick the lock, just difficult. Leaving and re-entering area can SOMETIMES help. Or just quitting to the main menu and then reloading usually works. Issue has been seen in several parts of Vault 34 but is not limited to that location.


 * Sometimes when you're going through a door your items bar will show in the loading screen. After this happens, you won't be able to pick locks and hack terminals (Verified on Xbox while trying to hack Gloria Van Graff's computer.) (verified on PC when trying to lockpick the goodsprings school safe)
