Routine Therapy: Deadlock

Participating in the Deadlock event within the Outlast Trials requires heightened caution and tactical use of limited resources. From my experience, managing only two lockpicks means every attempt counts—it's best to plan your routes carefully and anticipate surveillance camera patterns to avoid detection. I found that stealth often outweighs aggressive rushing; waiting for the right moment to pick a lock can save you from alerts that compromise your position. Additionally, teamwork is invaluable—even though the trial is on full lockdown, coordinating with fellow Reagents to distract guards or cameras makes lockpicking safer and more efficient. The MK program adds an extra layer of tension, pushing players to stay vigilant throughout the event period until March 17. Utilizing environmental cover and listening for audio cues helps identify when cameras are focusing elsewhere, creating those critical windows to act. Overall, success in Deadlock hinges on patience, precision, and clever use of your two lockpicks. Engaging with the community and sharing insights can provide new strategies to overcome Murkoff's surveillance and master the routine therapy trials.
