Opening Safe in NW corner of Scott City

First time out of the vault
:?: I have been unable to open the safe in the NorthWest corner of Scott City. Even with a Lockpick ability of 190 I get a Looks difficult message. What is inside of this safe? I can't find any mention of the safe (how to open it or what is inside) in the old messages or any of the walk-throughs.

I recently finished running through Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. I don't remember ever finding this safe before (its hidden by a small section of second story floor) and if I hadn't been walking the perimeter of all the maps I never would have found it.

There was probably meant to have been a key somewhere on the map, but anyway you should be able to open it with a skill of 200. Try equipping two lockpicks at once.
 
Don't remember a key on that map...

I already had an expanded lockpick set in each hand, thats how I got to the 190 lockpick skill. I do still have a save game from just before Cheyenne Mtn, maybe I will take that and wander around Scott city some more. Just one of those little things you get curious about, maybe there was something neat in that safe?

I did look around the available recruits, there don't seem to be any wildly good safecrackers in the pool. Just one person a bit over 100 as I recall.

IIRC Babs starts with well over 100 in lockpick, at level 7 so she should be available fairly early in the game and can easily reach 200.

Though there's not much in the safe, for all that effort.
 
spoiler, I finally got it open

:lol:

Finally got it open, the legitimate way.

Took a Lockpick modified to 205.

In earlier games a lockpick of 200 would not open it.

5 plastique explosives, 3 Afterburner, 1 Ultrastimpack

JI :D
 
The message is: Looks Difficult :cry:

Amazing how many saved games I still have on this computer. I found the save from the early play-through when I could not open the safe. My lock-picker now shows a lockpick skill of 201, with an advanced set of lockpicks in each hand. So 201 can't open it :( and 205 can :D . JI
 
Yeah I checked in the editor and the difficulty is set to 200, so you'd need above that to open it. Not sure why 201 wouldn't work but 202 will, must be the way their calculations are done.
