Night City is massive and you have to explore a lot to find new items, ammo, side jobs and meet characters. While exploring, you will come across locked or closed doors that V is supposedly not allowed to enter. So, how to unlock doors in Cyberpunk 2077? What are the ways to open locked doors and enter locations? Find out in this quick guide.
How to Open Closed & Locked Doors in Cyberpunk 2077?
You can unlock locked and closed doors during quests or while exploring by performing one of these actions:
- Using your Body attribute which will force open doors
- Using your Technical Ability to open or disarm the lock
- With an access keycard
- With the local network
When you encounter a closed door, you will see how many points of an attribute you need to open it up. If you have less points than required, it will be shown in red and if you have the necessary amount, you will see it in blue. Then follow the prompt on the screen to perform the action and that’s how to unlock doors in Cyberpunk 2077. Some doors may need pure force to open while for some, you will need to disarm the lock only. If you are lucky, you will get both options of Force Open or Technical Ability.
If you see the words Authorization Not Found, you need an access keycard to enter an area closed off by a door. Where to find the access card? Make sure to check the bodies of the enemies you have taken down or search for it on any tables or surfaces nearby. You will find it and get the authorization to enter.
Lastly, you can use the local network by locating a terminal and opening the door from there. Go to the Local Network tab and unlock doors in Cyberpunk 2077.
Does Gorilla Arms Cyberware Help to Force Open Locked Doors?
In case you have the Gorilla Arms cyberware on your character which has the description saying it can force open doors and rip turrets, there’s something you must know. Even if you equip these powerful arms, the Body attribute still plays a role, so keep working towards increasing your Body level.
So, these are all the ways to get access to areas by opening up locked doors in CP2077. If none of these options work, then it means that the game wants you to look for an alternative pathway so check around the map for any other secret door. You may have to do some searching and climbing to get a stealthy access to the area so try that out too.
