Lockpick — use, checks & patch context

Work order / direct answer

Use lockpicks for eligible locks rather than entering a numeric safe code. The pawn-shop purchase achievement and stock fix concern acquiring lockpicks, not every locked door.

Match the task

Use lockpicks for eligible locks rather than entering a numeric safe code. The pawn-shop purchase achievement and stock fix concern acquiring lockpicks, not every locked door.

Behavior to distinguish

Record whether the lockpick was received, saved and loaded before the next interaction. Record the shop inventory and saved state; distinguish stock availability from the lockpicking interaction.

Patch record

Update 6: Saving after receiving the lockpick from Zbyszek can block progress. August 14 fix roundup: Lockpicks do not return to pawn-shop stock as expected.

Purchase and recovery boundary

Only buy a replacement when the current task and item identity match. This page does not invent a price, durability value or material coverage ratio. Use the relevant symptom checklist before altering a good save.
