PSA - You can shoot locks through metal doors

[Oh. daesu]

Doors with golden handles usually indicates the door is accessible by some means or circumstance.

It is possible to shoot through metal doors, making it possible to shoot the lock on the other side to gain access.

It is not easy on the ammo when you aren't sure of the position of the lock. Not to mention the possibility that there is no lock on the other side, as the door might only be accessible from the activation or completion of a mission.

I've heard this a while ago and was able to test it using the Photo mode.  In the first photo you can see the lock. It helps to know where to shoot.

Ultimately, you don't need to shoot through doors to gain access, there's going to be a another intended way to get inside

good photo there.  For locks there is generally a way to shoot them directly, at least I have always found a way.

Thanks. In this case, you have to drop in through the open ceiling, and then shoot the lock to leave, which involves completing a side mission.

I have also found a few tricky ones but never ones without the shootable lock in view if you look for it.  Saying that I probably missed a few I didn't recognise
