Chernobylite Safe

As you explore the many regions that make up Chernobylite, you’ll likely come upon a safe in Kopachi, which can be accessed via the sewer and bunker entrances in the lower-left corner of the map. Your first thought will probably be to try and crack it open with a lockpick. Unfortunately, that will not work.

The only way to get this safe open is to get the help of the Locksmith, who is located on the top right portion of the map. He isn’t going to tell you anything until you find his brother Athanasius, though. This isn’t something Igor is able to do until later in the campaign during the “Chain Reaction” mission.

Once you’re on the “Chain Reaction” mission, head to the upper floor of the prison complex until you see a corpse. Examining the body will reveal that Athanasius has died. Head back to the Locksmith and he’ll tell you that he will open the safe by the next time you return. Inside the safe, you’ll find the Improved Flashlight perk.

Note, if you’re having trouble finding the Locksmith during any of this, he may be away. Simply go on a few missions to get him to reappear.

Time needed: 3 hours
