Lockpicks
Lockpicks are inventory tools used to bypass mechanical locks.
How it works
They are a physical access option for barriers; the game also supports stealth, hacking, armed assault, or combinations of tactics to complete objectives. Items and weapons occupy limited inventory space in varying amounts. Evidence does not state how many lockpicks are needed for a lock or their precise consumption rules.
