The Outer Worlds 2: Get the Locker Gun EARLY

Short answer

This is very simple, there is a Unique SMG shown in a locker that requires Lockpicking 11. That gun is called Rookie's Reward and you need it for an achievement. Get the gun via this simple as DUMB guide and then level it up while you mod the crap out of the gun for an easy achievement.

Steam Community guide by MasterOfLazyness.

Where and When?

Easy, as soon as you're done the Tutorial

While you're still on your own ship (if you get off, just turn around and get back on), Head to the locker room area.

Then turn right and go to the room with all the lockers in it. You're now looking for the one on the right wall that looks like it holds guns. Walk up to it and you will see.

In order to get this without leveling up ages, turn around and look at the corner to the right of the workbench.

You're going to now jump over the crates like Mario and look for a power switch.

Flip that switch and you can now go get your free gun!

Remember to mod it fully and level it up for an achievement!
Maximum Gun: "Fully leveled-up Rookie's Reward. Find the Rookie's Reward weapon early in the game and invest all available upgrades into it until it's maxed out."
Happy slaying.
