GTFO guide

Paradigm via 10 Chambers

Everything in GTFO is designed to either kill you or get you lot killed by drawing attention. Electrical locks fall in the 2d category. These devices are plant on random resource containers and doors, and bar players from getting to life-preserving loot or progressing altogether. Unlike regular locks, electric locks can't be opened with violence. Instead, players volition have to hack them to go past.

To hack an electrical lock in GTFO you need to beat a simple 3-phase minigame that works like Expressionless by Daylight's skill checks, Resident Evil Gaiden's combat, or countless other similar mechanics in other games. You lot are presented with a moving ridge coursing dorsum and forth through a chain of colored bars, and you accept to click the fire button when the wave is over the blue segment of the concatenation. Each time you lot do that, the blue segment gets smaller; if you succeed three times in a row, the lock is successfully hacked and opens. Each time you neglect, the minigame reverts dorsum to the previous stage, and the lock makes a loud noise that can alert nearby Sleepers.

This is all optional if you happen to exist carrying a Lock Melter. Melters are map-spawned GTFO items that y'all sometimes find inside resources containers. They tin be used to instantly break a lock open, be information technology electrical or regular. The irony of finding a Lock Melter inside a locked container that you failed to open up silently and almost died over will surely non be lost on you.
