Safes are secure locked containers holding valuable objects. They are often times the targets in almost all heists.

General

In order to access the content inside the safes, the safes must be opened. Most of the time, the safes must be forcible drilled open to be looted of their contents. The amount of drilling time required to open a safe varies, with a trend of increased drill time as the safe's size increases.

The skill Drill Sawgeant reduces the amount of drilling time by 15% at Basic level, and 30% at Ace level.

A number of skills can be used as alternative, faster methods to open a safe:

Titan Safes are rarer variants of the normal safes that sometimes appear in certain heists (usually holding mission-critical items) or as replacements for the normal black Frank Yaeger safes on Mayhem difficulty and above. They also appear on Diamond Store and Big Oil on all difficulties.

Titan Safes cannot be blown open with shaped charges nor do they have a lock to be picked. They also take longer to drill open compared to their Frank Yaeger counterparts.
