Everything in GTFO is designed to either impale you or get yous killed by cartoon attending. Electrical locks fall in the second category. These devices are found on random resource containers and doors, and bar players from getting to life-preserving boodle or progressing birthday. Unlike regular locks, electrical locks tin't exist opened with violence. Instead, players will have to hack them to get by.

To hack an electrical lock in GTFO yous need to beat a simple three-stage minigame that works like Dead by Daylight's skill checks, Resident Evil Gaiden's combat, or endless other like mechanics in other games. You are presented with a wave coursing back and forth through a chain of colored bars, and y'all accept to click the burn down button when the wave is over the blue segment of the chain. Each time you lot practice that, the blue segment gets smaller; if you succeed three times in a row, the lock is successfully hacked and opens. Each time you fail, the minigame reverts back to the previous phase, and the lock makes a loud noise that tin alert nearby Sleepers.

This is all optional if you happen to exist conveying a Lock Melter. Melters are map-spawned GTFO items that yous sometimes notice inside resource containers.
