And is there any way to really confirm if luck has any influence?

[Kombajn]

As far as remember a locker on encounter is always visible no matter how many PE you have, so I would take 1 PE a add it to LK and INT.

[Blarg]

yeah, you can see it at any distance, assuming its not behind a wall

[Smeghead]

luck absolutely does not matter
its good to increase chance of finding FCC in cars but that's it
lockpick 300 is not a overkill..when you are making locpicker,why not get max chance available..i have lp 200 and my team mate 300 and there has been numerous times i couldn't open chest,called him in and he did it( this happened while finding CA bp too)

treasure hunter is bugged,but not completely.if your sole purpose is to find BP,do take it.it will cost you some caps but chances of finding BPs ARE bigger
cheers

Can you provide any evidence to prove that luck does not factor into locker finding at all?

only 45% traps? You gonna need at least 125% to disable them all without triggering them

[klax]

In my opinion, you should drop small guns to a usable 120% (For leveling purposes only, as a BB gun is all you will need if you take a couple of crit perks) as you should not really consider fighting the critters in the encounters, it's inefficient (a much slower way to hunt BP) and the XP is barely worth it so stick to mutated mole rats to level and go hunting lockers unarmed with no armor.

Pile a lot more into Lockpick. It really doesn't make sense to put equal amounts into LP and SG if you want a chance to actually find a blueprint and also consider the skilled trait to get your Traps and Lockpick skills as high as possible.

? but you have to take them out first right before you can lockpick?

No, if you hunt in turn based just head straight for the locker, open it and leave.

tried that but didn't work

yes. the thing is like this.

25,50,75,100,125,150,175,200,225,250,275,300

What do you mean it didn't work exactly? It's the only way I've ever hunted lockers. RT picking is way too risky, so walking straight towards in TB works best for me. It can be difficult, especially if you fail the first lockpick attempt and have all the raider/marauders closing in on you (Especially as my lockpicker is HP locked at 57hp!), but it definitely works.
