Far Cry New Dawn: How to Open Safes

How to Open Safes in Far Cry New Dawn

Far Cry New Dawn brings players back to Hope County years after the fifth game. There are tons of items you can loot and use on your adventure, with some valuable supplies locked behind strongboxes. If you’re having trouble, here’s how to open safes in Far Cry New Dawn.

Safes are scattered across the map in Far Cry New Dawn. There are all sorts of items waiting for you inside, so long as you can open it. Unlike some other items in the game, you won’t be able to break it through brute force alone.

If you want to open a strongbox, there are actually two ways you can go about doing this. Some of these methods require you to unlock perks, however. One of the easiest methods you can try is simply blowing up the strongbox with explosives if you have any on hand.

Another way you can open safes in Far Cry New Dawn is to unlock the Repair Torch perk. This will cost you three Perk Points, but it’ll be worth it. You’ll unlock the repair torch in Far Cry New Dawn, which is used to break open safes.

All you have to do is hit the Square button (or X if you’re on Xbox One) to interact with a safe, then hold down the R2 button (or RT on Xbox One) until the green bar fills up. Once it’s filled all the way, you’ll be able to open the safe and access its contents.

Moreover, you can even use your new tool for a few other tasks as well. It can double as a repair tool for fixing vehicles and even as a weapon for burning down your enemies.

Alternatively, a more expensive option for opening safes in Far Cry New Dawn is to get the Lock Picking perk. It’ll set you back six Perk Points, as opposed to the Repair Torch’s three, but it’ll also enable you to open any locked doors you come across on your adventure, too.

If you’re low on skill points, there are a few things you can do to earn more in Far Cry New Dawn. You can earn more points by completing missions and challenges, which is the best way to earn them. You can check out the Challenges tab by accessing the menu and scrolling over to the list.

You can complete a few of these tasks, such as killing a certain amount of enemies with a particular weapon, to earn points. Once you have enough, you can finally unlock the perk to open safes.

Alternatively, if you just want Perk Points there and then, you can simply buy them by pressing the Square or X button from the Perks tab.
