@@RayKit Advanced thievery should say 4 seconds at the start of the timer, also while picking you need to keep an eye on your dex as if it goes below 3.0 it will lower your skill which decreases the time to pick.
Something worth noting is the thickness of your glove can hinder your ability to find the sweet spot displayed by the hand icon color when lockpicking. Red is thick and yellow mean it’s not as bad but still thick. Like you said anyone of the gloves that provide protection from lockpicking make it harder
Thank you soooo much everyone like this video. Cause the first few that come up have ZERO explanation. It claims they will show you how to lock pick. And that’s all they do is show you they can lock pick lol. I had NO understanding but the moment you started explaining it made 100% sense. Thanks G
I think breaking in lockers with the crowbar is affected by your strength skill, not thievery. At least that's what the devs said in the blog post when they've added this like a year ago.
Hey Ray, I was under the impression that the strength stat governs crowbar use? A pal and I play on the official servers and he has maxed DEX/Thievery and I have max Strength (5.5). When we raid air drops we use crowbars side by side and my character is always faster and also uses less of the crowbars durability per pick.
@@chillaxin9237 You are right. There is a lot running in the background. 100% Strength determines the speed and efficiency of crowbar usage though. Thankfully, because this helps bumbling knuckle draggers like my character pick locks like the little guys/gals. Correct max Strength is 8, however you can only select max of 5 at character creation. That’s what I was referring to.
You said it gives you three seconds, and I see the timer going down, but for some reason a lot of the time it stops before my 3 seconds are up. I'm a little confused about this.
And here I thought you lost health from lock protection. Did not know about the Crowbar either. I still think lockpicking is way to easy. Getting raided by a team with someone on Advanced lockpicking, locks will never protect you.
This is true, either they will use ESP to find your buried chests or they will lock pick all your locks into your base. There's really no way to keep your loot safe in this game.
You used to be able to use the lockpicking board to level up but the last major update they made it very hard to level up. You would need to pick hundreds of gold locks to go from basic to advanced. So you pretty much have to create the character with advanced.
Good video I'm New to scum and am thinking about getting a better pc to dedicate it to just playing demanding games and better graphics such as scum ..what would a good setup up cost?? .. without going mad because of the cost .. I've seen your setup and that's mega I want something in the middle with upgrading later .. when money is less tight ..
If you want to play games on highest setting, your probably looking at around £2000. You could go less, but you will be sacrificing some performance. I just got a new pc and spent £2000, I7, 32gb RAM, 500gb NVME + 1TB HDD and Nvidia 3070. Problem is your far better off buying a good complete pc , buying a middle range and buying seperate parts to upgrade it will cost a lot
The way things are at the moment with the new AMD/Intel cpus,the shortages, and the new gpus coming this year it may be cheaper to wait till later in the year it depends on what you are doing do you want to build your own machine or are you looking for a prebuilt ?? there are pluses and minuses to each , 2021 was the first year i've ever seen tech channels recommend buying prebuilt , that's because with the shortages and the scalpers pushing prices up and availability down it can be really hard to find the parts you want, as an example of this stupidness I built a system 3 years ago Ryzen 5 2700 , 32 gb ram , msi b450 Tomahawk, Samsung 860 evo 500gb m.2, 2tb ssd, vega 56 gpu, case, 750w platinum power supply, this cost just under £1000, to build the same system today would be nearly double the price, and don't forget AMD are changing their socket this year, all future cpus will be 5nm instead 7nm so if you buy an am4 cpu or motherboard you will need to replace both if you want to upgrade at a later date. My advice is do a LOT of research, check out linus tech tips,Jayz2cents, hardware unboxed channels they have all the information on buying Pc's , over the years I've built many systems for friends and family, my budget for My systems was usually around £1000 however, now it has had to double to £2000,
Stay away from prebuilts sold by cheap ass companies. Find a small, dedicated PC builder firm and by a build one from there. Usually the big companies cut ALOT of corners, even as far as making upgradeability simply impossible. Edit: basic grammar lol
I find the map lockers always easy, I heard in the past they were hadder if the loot has higher tier, like an svd pack in the airdrops, but it seems that was rumor or its been reverted, they always seem the same no matter the loot. (other than the killboxes, I have not even attempted those yet. For bases etc idk how people do it at all other than mouse macro's and a lot of fame points to burn
My personal opinion, and it's just an OPINION, is that lockpicking is too big a part of the game. Almost everything that has consistent good loot has to be lockpicked. Killboxes, Airdrops, Lockers in bunkers/police stations, etc. I can understand the lockpicking being difficult for bases, but not in the open world. This is just my personal opinion, but I don't care for a ton of lockpicking in SCUM. It gets tedious and discouraging, especially as a solo player.
I mean you get 10 seconds to do lockers on police stations, airdrops and bunkers and if you’ve ever done lockpicking in any other video game like skyrim or fallout it’s the same shit just some extra factors
Lockpicking bunkers and airdrops is very easy. Playing solo I even cleaned up Killboxes 5 times (all that rooms) and skill level even wasn't advanced (but smth near it). But of course I practiced a lot. Player's locks are really hard. And it must be hard to lockpick them. I think that high quality loot must be locked. And it's ok.
So basically, lockpicking is stupid as fuck in this game. Zero knowledge to know where the sweet spot is. Switching EVERY single fail, and a useless time game because everyone knows that when picking a lock you only have a certain bit of time before you default break your limited time picks. So fucking dumb. Hate this games lockpick SO MUCH.
Have they changed this garbage idea of lock picking? Its literally the r4eason I stopped playing back then. I am not going to spend all day wiggling a fking mouse around. That aint fun.
Breaking lockers, You dont need advanced skills anymore, I did medium, and was able to break it with a crowbar. And my buddy had 0, And also able to do it (learned from my buddy) Maybe you make less noice idk
How you finding lockpicking? Any tips for new players will be appreciated :)
Every server I've been on advanced lockpicking starts off at 4 not 3, this includes official servers.
@@staticsys. What do you mean every server? It's all starts in the character creation screen no?
@@RayKit Advanced thievery should say 4 seconds at the start of the timer, also while picking you need to keep an eye on your dex as if it goes below 3.0 it will lower your skill which decreases the time to pick.
@@staticsys. It should say 4 yeah at advanced. That extra 1 second. Interesting..
To easy.

What!!!!.. damn... 🤯

So this is possible?
Red screwdrivers are 1-3 uses, not 3-5.
Thanks yeah I couldn't remember exactly so I referred to 3 or 5 thanks Full 8
Thanks mate! Just started playing Scum. Extremely helpful!
Thanks that's straightened a lot out for me.
I was taping the f all the time evan when I got movement now I know.👍
Thanks so much didn't know I needed a screwdriver lol just thought a lovkpock was enough 😅
Not aware for the crowbar. Thank you!
Crowbars are based on STR not DEX. Red screwdrivers have 1-3 charges and shock traps can be found on player locks AND killbox locks.
Question: Is it easier to pick Silver/Gold locks with no glove on? Says we are wearing tactical glove vs no glove.
Hey Ray,

When we raid air drops we use crowbars side by side and my character is always faster and also uses less of the crowbars durability per pick.
Yeah I’ve noticed that too. Kinda hard to pinpoint what skills effect what because there are so many. Also strength can go up to 8
@@chillaxin9237 You are right. There is a lot running in the background. 100% Strength determines the speed and efficiency of crowbar usage though. Thankfully, because this helps bumbling knuckle draggers like my character pick locks like the little guys/gals.

@@nlonis Max strength opens lockers instantly. The durability use is the same regardless of the strength.
Jemmying the lock with crowbar really takes its toll on it so keep ur crowbar fresh
I think the medical gloves do the same thing as rubber gloves without hindering mobility
no they dont protect as much against shock just being pricked
I was not aware that improvised-, normal- and advanced lockpicks doesn't all break as easy. Cheers
You said it gives you three seconds, and I see the timer going down, but for some reason a lot of the time it stops before my 3 seconds are up. I'm a little confused about this.
You better be at 50k scribers before Feb. C'MON MAN GOG OGOGO GO GO WTF GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm trying to level up my thievery skill with the training lockpicking board but I am rarely successful as there is so little time to lockpick...
Not sure if you can level it up using the block.. I could be wrong though. It's just a training tool
@@RayKit You can level up lockpicking on the practice board but it takes awhile
You used to be able to use the lockpicking board to level up but the last major update they made it very hard to level up. You would need to pick hundreds of gold locks to go from basic to advanced. So you pretty much have to create the character with advanced.
@@InDaZone thanks zone I know your one of the top for lockpicking was hoping you'd throw your 2 cents in. Cheers bud
@@RayKit I wouldn’t say “top”. I’ll just get them open. 🤫😂
Kinda forgot to mention killboxes but I guess it's not that different lul
Makes zero difference yeah lop they'll be in for a surprise though I guess haha! Thanks for the comment Leo
Hi ..
Does training on the board increase thievery skill ?

Btw, GPU wise, do not go lower than a 1660 if you wanna play Scum with no issues :)
Its also 'relatively' cheap compared to other cards right now.
