Unlock Oblivion’s Secrets: Master Security Skills in Minutes!

In the game ‘The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’, the Security skill is indispensable for both thieves and ambitious explorers alike. This skill allows players to access chests and doors, granting them valuable loot or quest items. Given that these locks are often difficult to open, even for those with quick reflexes, players would benefit from increasing their Security level expeditiously. A higher Security skill means less wasted time and fewer broken lockpicks, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

What Does Security Do In Oblivion Remastered

In the game Oblivion Remastered, enhancing your character’s Security skill improves their proficiency in bypassing locks on doors and containers using lockpicks. As you advance levels in this skill, there will be fewer instances where tumblers fall when you fail to pick a lock, reducing the chances of breaking it. Additionally, the time window for adjusting tumblers during the lockpicking process becomes more lenient as your Security skill improves, making it less likely that mistakes will lead to failure.

Skill Level Effects
Novice (0-24) Up to 4 tumblers will fall upon failing.
Apprentice (25-49) Up to 3 tumblers will fall upon failing.
Journeyman (50-74) Up to 2 tumblers will fall upon failing.
Expert (75-99) Only 1 tumbler will fall upon failing.
Master (100) No tumblers fall upon failing.

How To Increase The Security Skill In Oblivion Remastered

There are several methods to enhance security in Oblivion Remastered, yet the primary method involves manipulating tumblers while pickpocketing. It’s worth noting that you don’t have to open the entire lock entirely to gain security experience points (XP).

  • Set tumblers while lockpicking.
  • Learn from Security trainers.
  • Read Security skill books.

Setting Tumblers & The Fastest Way To Max Out Security In Minutes

After the player lifts them, the tumblers are placed at the lock’s summit.

  • Xbox: A
  • PlayStation: Cross
  • PC: Spacebar

It’s quite intriguing to find a bug where players can rapidly increase the Security level by setting a tumbler and quickly pressing the set button on the same tumbler multiple times. Although the Security skill might not visibly change at the top, they should hear the sound effect that indicates leveling up.

After successfully bypassing locks without unlocking them, players will notice an increase in their load capacity. It requires only a few minutes (less than 5) of continuous clicking or spamming to reach the maximum Security level of 100.
