When you start your Fallout 4 narrative, you will quickly come across a closed security room in the second mission, where you will need to break into using Bobby Pins. The mission is called Freedom Calls and you will not be able to continue with this quest if you have not obtained Bobby Pins.
Lockpicking is one of the core gameplay and exploration elements in the Fallout series. The items were once used to keep one’s hair in place before the Great War, however, in the post-nuclear-fallout, they being used to break into areas that have locks on them. Hence, as soon as you reach the missions, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on some of these lockpicks, and the best way to go about using them.
Today’s Fallout 4 guide will go over how you can find Bobby Pins during the Freedom Calls missions.
How to get a Bobby Pin early in Fallout 4
Since you need to break into the Security Room during the Freedom Calls mission in Fallout 4, you will be able to find a Bobby Pin near the Cigarette machine. Here's what you need to:
- Head back from the room and then make your way up the stairs. Turn left, and then take another lift until you reach a passage.
- Go straight and you will find a Cigarette Machine.
- Here, you will find a box of Bobby Pins sitting right atop it. Interact with it to add it to your inventory.
You will always find a lot of Bobby Pins when out exploring the world. You can loot it from suitcases, from behind mirrors at the Sanctuary, or you can just buy them from merchants. Trashcan Carla and Trudy usually have a lot of Bobby Pins in their stock.
How to use Bobby Pins in Fallout 4
To make the most of Bobby Pins in the game, you need to interact with a lock that can be picked and then start from the left and keep moving the pin until it allows you to run and use the screwdriver to open the lock.
Locks in Fallout 4 come with their own difficulty, and the harder the lock, the smaller the failure window. Forcing a lock to open if you haven’t gotten the sequence correct will lead to the Bobby Pin breaking.
