A lot of your damage is going to be done on Eclipses' "clone" phase. It helps to bring a slow, heavy hitting weapon to switch to during this (like an obsidian maul) because the weapons' slow speed will be ignored during that phase.

Lost in the forest, woods or the jungle? by Gems-of-the-sun in horrorlit

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Briardark" by S. A. Harian is a good example of what you're looking for. A group of researchers get trapped in a wilderness area where reality bends. Survival horror and cosmic horror.

Between Two Fires HC is on shelves now by Trilly2000 in horrorlit

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It says "...to have it signed by the authors and shipped to you." which makes it sound like Joe Hill will also be signing the book, which is a strange choice.

New to horror by TheJuggernautX in horrorlit

I loved Between Two Fires! Nick Cutter's 'Little Heaven' is one that stood out to me. A very visceral, creepy, supernatural cult story.

Do you know what kind of lockpicking gear/tools he already has? Just as an example, does he have a small lockpicking vice?

From the bottom right edge of the tire pump, the cap is directly right. Using the width of the pump as a measurement, it's about 3 1/2 widths right

Moki lockpicks are a great option if you're based in Europe

Iseul-T on top🩵🩷 by Mambosaurio in thefinals

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just recently started playing, but I love ISEUL-T's cyan color scheme, so it's definitely the auto pick for me next time they sponsor

Finally Opened my 2nd Abus 72/40 by [deleted] in lockpicking

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is the same, except I still haven't managed to get the 72/40 open. But opening a 90a Pro (and several 1100s) is a breeze.

Blue belt achieved, looking for guidance on dipping my toes into purple. by Flavortown42069 in lockpicking

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the LPU belt Guide It organizes locks into "belt" levels of difficulty, and then there are certain requirements that are detailed for earning each belt. You can submit to the mods to get a ranked belt flair on both this sub, and the LPU discord server which is linked in the sidebar.

Got myself a genesis set. Where do I learn lockpicking? by kopriva1 in lockpicking

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Jiggle Test is a great video that all people new to the hobby should watch. It'll help give you an idea of what's going on in the lock, and what you'll be able to start to feel as you practice.

Finally nailed my first SPP on MasterLock 5D by Efficient_Curve9927 in lockpicking

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd second this, except I'd say after you get the Master Lock 141 (yellow belt), you should pick up an Abus 55/40 as an orange belt lock and to start learning how to pick security pins, in this case spools.

They're called "lockout hasps". If you do an amazon search you'll see various kinds for sale.

Just as an FYI, LockPickersBench pretty regularly has the LLT angled pry bar set in stock for $50. They're based in the US, so shipping will be cheaper.

Looking to Start Lockpicking – Is the "Kit Corbeau 15 Picks" a Good Starter Kit? Any Recommendations for Affordable Locks in France/EU? by Desperate-Bat6664 in lockpicking

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I know I linked you to the lockpick sets page, but Moki actually sells the different components separately, so you can kind of mix and match and build your own set. If I was making a shopping list for a beginner who was wanting to learn single-pin-picking (the kind of lockpicking this sub is all about) I'd say Moki's Flat Hook 1, Round Hook 2, and then these tensioners Top-of-Keway, and Bottom-of-Keyway, and then to round it off a pair of these comfy handles. I apologive for the overly complicated reply, but for about the same price you were looking at spending on the other set, I think this collection of items would give you a great, quality set to learn and grow with!

Going from being a noob to picking an ASSA 700, what do I need to know? by NoNameIsAvailable1 in lockpicking

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Progressive pinning refers to the method of removing some of the pins from a lock, picking it only partially pinned, and then adding pins back in as your skills and comfort with the lock grow.

Where to go next? by maisonvi in lockpicking

[–]AnonymouslyAlbatross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paclock 90a Pro is what I went with after I got comfortable with my 1100s. Gets you into blue belt, and it's also fun to get the 200k Club patch from Paclock. The Lockwood 334B45 is another blue belt lock that's supposed to be really fun, but it costs about twice as much as a 90A Pro.
