View Full Version : Lockboxes- I just figured it out

I just figured out that when an enemy with loot fades away, he leaves a lockbox behind. I didn't know that before and I wondered why they kept suddenly appearing places! it happened when a splicer I had killed earlier crumbled into dust and was replaced by one infront of me, as I was fighting this big battle for awhile.

anyone else not notice this?

I haven't noticed it, but it sure explains a lot.

I noticed when the demo came out. I've become pretty rich and loaded with ammo after large fights, due to tons of these scattered around. It's great when you can't pick the items up, and can go back later too.

If what he told is right it is because you took away the loots on the splicer himself

and if you missed something you'll find it back in the splicer's lockboxe (exemple you couldnt carry more)

That makes sense

lock boxes usually have stuff. greande cases usually dont. this was until i got the scrounger tonic. which is one of the best ADAM investments i made in the game

I got 2 frag grenades on my second play through in Neptune's Bounty the Fighting Mcdogah, no Scrounger.

I must have the worst luck. On my third play through and just as I hit Fort Frolic I replaced scrounger with a different tonic. In my first 2 play throughs I kept it from the point I got it (researching thuggish splicers I believe) to the end of the game and never once got a single grenade out of those boxes. :(

I can confirm the lockbox thing. I once searched a Spider Splicer, couldn't pick up all the stuff, and he turned into a lockbox soon after I closed the menu. It was a coincidence that he went poof and became a lockbox at that instant, but yeah.

I think they just appear after so long. I've had a ton of bodies laying around, and a good few have disappeared, and a lockbox popped up. A few times I haven't checked bodies, and found lockboxes.

Never found a grenade box with anything in it. But, I didn't have scrounger, I will pick it up. I did notice the lockboxes appearing after after the death of some splicers, not all.

i'm sorry mister but your thread lacks everything that makes a thread anything.
