Requiem - Lock Bashing Visualized
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER BEING SUPPORTED. CHECK OUT 'Requiem - Lock Bash Threshold Meter' INSTEAD.
Mod Description
Ever felt frustrated for wasting time with calculating the bash thresholds? Now you will have complete awareness regarding your capabilities of bashing a lock open.
The mod adds the following text to the HUD:
Now a quick explanation of how Requiem's lock bashing works, taken directly from the manual:
"Requiem offers you the possibility to break locks up to adept level on wooden crates and doors. To break a lock by force simply
attack the locked object, if your health and stamina exceed a threshold determined by the locklevel, you
will open the chest."
The formula to calculate how much threshold points you currently have is very simple: (2 Health + Stamina), while by default, A bash requires 350/450/550 threshold points to bash an novice/apprentice/adept lock open.
This mod also implements colors that indicates the possibility of bashing a lock open:
• Green means that a lock is ready to be broken.
• Yellow means that you can bash the lock with your current stats, but their current amount is not great enough.
• Red means that you can't bash the lock with your current stats.
The HUD only shows up for locked content with Requiem's "AA000XarrianLockBreakScriptNormal" attached to them. This is to avoid the HUD showing up on non-bashable locks.
The HUD will update your current threshold points at real time, while also not requiring you to "refocus" on the now unlocked content to update it anymore.
The colors can be changed freely through the auto-generated ini file.
Compatibility
3BFTweaks, or more specifically BTweaks is the only mod I know that changes the vanilla thresholds, and that being said, know that I've also have implemented compatibility for it, so that you don't have to manually edit the threshold values in the ini file.

Requiem - Lock Bashing Visualized adds a HUD display showing your current bash threshold points and color-coded indicators (green/yellow/red) for whether you can bash a lock open in Requiem. It updates in real time and is configurable via an INI file. The mod is no longer supported, with the author recommending 'Requiem - Lock Bash Threshold Meter' instead.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves the frustration of guessing bash thresholds—you see exactly where you stand.
- Real-time HUD updates mean no more re-checking locks after buffing.
- Color coding makes it instantly clear if you can bash, even mid-combat.
⚠️ Cons
- No longer supported—author points to 'Requiem - Lock Bash Threshold Meter' as the replacement.
- Only works with locks that have the specific Requiem script, so some bashable objects might not show the HUD.
- Requires Requiem and may conflict with other HUD mods or Requiem tweaks that alter lock bashing.
For Requiem players who hate guessing whether they can bash a lock and want a clear visual readout. If you're using 3BFTweaks or other Requiem overhauls, check compatibility first. Skip if you prefer the newer 'Lock Bash Threshold Meter' mod or don't use Requiem.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is unsupported, consider trying the recommended 'Requiem - Lock Bash Threshold Meter' for ongoing updates.
- If you use 3BFTweaks, check the compatibility notes—the description mentions it, so verify your setup.
- The INI file is generated after first run; you can tweak the colors to your liking.
