So I was trying to get this lock breaker in Red Dead Redemption 2, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as simple as I thought it would be.
First, I started riding around, exploring different areas, hoping I’d just stumble upon one. You know, like finding one on a dead guy or just lying around somewhere. No such luck. It felt like I was searching for a needle in a haystack. I checked everywhere, but these things were nowhere to be found.

Then, I remembered that these lock breakers are illegal stuff in the game, so obviously, you can’t just find them lying around. I realized that I had to buy them, but it is not that easy. I learned that you can only get them from these shady merchants called fences.
I spent some time searching online and found some players talking about a fence north of Rhodes. They said it’s the easiest place to get a lock breaker without doing any special quests. Sounded good to me! Rhodes is not too far from Valentine and a pretty easy ride from Horseshoe Overlook, so I decided to head there.
I galloped all the way, and finally reached the fence. It was a small, kinda hidden spot, but I found it. And guess what? They had the lock breaker! I bought one straight away. It felt so good to finally have it in my hands.
Now, with the lock breaker, I can finally open those locked chests without having to shoot them up. Before, I always used my gun to blast the locks open, which was noisy and attracted unwanted attention. It was a pain in the ass. With the lock breaker, it’s going to be so much easier and quieter. This thing is a game changer.
- I started by searching everywhere for the lock breaker.
- Then I realized I had to buy it from a fence.
- I found a fence north of Rhodes.
- I rode to the fence and bought the lock breaker.
- Now I can open chests silently!
It was a bit of a journey, but I finally got my lock breaker. It was way more satisfying than just shooting the locks. If you’re looking for one, just head to the fence north of Rhodes. Trust me, it’s worth it!
I learned a valuable lesson today: some things take effort, but the reward is worth it. In this case, it’s finally getting my hands on that sweet, sweet lock breaker. Now I can be a proper thief!
And that’s pretty much it. See you next time!
