Lock Melter

Lock melters are consumables which can be found in resource lockers and boxes. They can be used to open locks silently, or potentially used on hack locks in order to save time. When melting a lock they flash and make a high pitched noise, though this doesn't alert any sleeping enemies.

They're particularly useful when opening resource containers or doors where there are enemies besides, where they may threaten to alert the room if awoken by the sound of breaking or hacking a lock.

Lock melters can sometimes be found on benches and shelves, not just resource lockers and boxes. It's generally advised to carry lock melters if one has the room to hold them, and to discard them when more useful consumables are found.
