Tall, black steel safes are scattered around the Fort Lyndon map in Battlefield 6: REDSEC, holding some tantalizing goodies behind their big locks. Unlocking these safes is straightforward—provided you or one of your teammates made an important choice before starting the match.
## How to Unlock Safes in Battlefield 6: REDSEC
To unlock a safe in Battlefield 6: REDSEC, you or someone on your team needs to be an Engineer. Using the Engineer’s Repair Tool, interact with the safe’s lock for about five seconds. Once you fulfill both of these requirements, the safe should pop open.
Inside, you’ll typically find a weapon or two, a grenade, and maybe some Superior Intel. While the loot isn’t as abundant as what you’d get from, say, a Weapons Cache mission gun locker, you don’t need to put in nearly as much effort to access the goodies inside a REDSEC safe.
## When to Open Safes
Because the loot inside is limited, I recommend opening safes during the early part of a match—particularly shortly after your initial landing. The gear inside, though limited, is often of better quality than what you’d find at your starting zones.
If the Weapons Cache mission is one of your first available objectives, I highly recommend doing that alongside opening safes. The volume of loot from Weapons Cache is much higher, and though the weapons you find are usually of green rarity, upgrade kits are plentiful. The real prizes are the Strike Packages, RPGs, and other harder-to-come-by ordnance.
## Why You Should Have an Engineer on Your Team
Being able to unlock safes is just one reason to have at least one Engineer on your team in Battlefield 6: REDSEC. Another crucial role Engineers play is dealing with tanks and other heavy vehicles that opposing teams will inevitably bring to the fight.
So, whether it’s unlocking safes or countering armored threats, having an Engineer in your squad can provide significant tactical advantages throughout the match.
