I rarely do things over tho. Also, higher level locks and terminals give better XP. The goal is to open every safe, door, gate, and hack every terminal at least once.

yes, i usually hack the terminal and DONT unlock lock so then can pick the lock for both sets of xp

generally any terminal that unlocks a container can also relock it, so you can repick it for the xp again

xp gain for picking locks is pretty low though even for master so is up to you, takes too much time to bother i personally think and xp is everywhere

Yeah, writing it down, imagine that.

I wrote down the location of every terminal and every container I couldn't open so I could go back to them when I had the appropriate skill. But once I did and looked at the list of locations, looked at the gear I had, I went; "naah", crumbled the paper and tossed it. Seriously, once you learned the skill to open those containers, you don't need that loot anymore. In fact, you never did.

I know, this is a really dumb perk. Bobby pins aren't in short supply. I don't even know how many I actually have, but it's been 99+ for as long as I can remember now. This is going to be one of the last perks I get, when I'm down to just getting the ones that I haven't gotten yet, as opposed to getting the ones that I actually want.
