Lockpick

Lockpicks are items in Deus Ex. They are used to open locked doors and panels. The player can hold up to 20 lockpicks at any given time.

Description

A disposable lockpick. The tension wrench is steel, but appropriate needles are formed from fast congealing polymers.

Lockpicks lower the lock's meter by a set percentage per lockpick, with this percentage growing larger at each successive level of the player's lockpicking skill.

• At untrained: Each lockpick decreases lock strength by 10%
• At trained: Each lockpick decreases lock strength by 25%
• At advanced: Each lockpick decreases lock strength by 40%
• At master: Each lockpick decreases lock strength by 75%

Some doors have an "infinite" lock strength, which means that the player cannot pick the lock and may need to find another way to open the door.
