📋 About This Mod
Removal of the lockpicking minigame from containers, updated and tested for DL v1. 52. 0, as of 27/06/25.
Since the removal of a previously recommended mod to be used alongside this, I've added the same simple feature with this mod. So now this mod now includes "Always Succeed" lockpicking, which works on doors.
Mod is not compatible with any mods altering containers.loot or lockpickminigame.scr.
Install instructions:
-
[]Unpack the downloaded file.
[]If using only this mod: Open file in WinRAR/7Zip, drag over Data3.pak to Dying Light\DW.
[]If using other mods and Data3.pak is already present in Dying Light/DW: Open the already present Data3.pak file in WinRAR/7Zip in it's own window, Then open Data3.pak from this mod, and finally drag over the contents into the already present file.)
This mod will be partially disabled when participating in community events. Only the "Always Succeed" will work for all locks. But it's a whole lot better than nothing, making community events viable for all you fellow "i hate lockpicking in the middle of a zombie apocalypse" people.
Removes the lockpicking minigame from containers and makes doors always succeed, with partial Community-Event compatibility. A quality-of-life mod for players who find the minigame tedious, backed by 736 endorsements and 21,200 downloads.
