Can we go back to getting XP for unlocking doors now?

Suggestion

Clearly it was removed few patches back because unlocking/locking doors was "coming soon", but it's been over a year and there is no sign of it coming anytime soon if at all, let's bring back XP for unlocking doors. I miss the feeling of reward every time I unlocked a door in Resort, or the dorms on Customs. It was a fun little mechanic with a small reward that made things feel "special". Hell sometimes I opened doors in dorms that lead to no loot at all just so I could get a little bit of that XP.

​

There is no reason for this to be gone. I think many would agree this would be nice thing to return to the game.

When they add locking we should get exp per person we lock in a room.

You do get XP for opening doors, but only the very first time you open it.

EDIT: proof

I don't believe that's true.

I'm almost certain that it is. I distinctly remember unlocking the extra exits on factory for the extra XP at the beginning of the wipe. Unless they shadow removed it, you definitely get EXP the first time you unlock a door.

There's your proof. I've never opened that door on factory and I got 30xp for unlocking it.

Isn't that a location exp? Not necessarily the unlock itself

Nope. https://i.imgur.com/l4aSrDT.png

You sure you weren't on the quest to discover those and actually got XP for the discovery rather than opening them?

It is, I ran a raid last night and when it finished I had xp for unlocking a door, thought it was interesting cause I haven't noticed that ever before, granted I've only been playing about three weeks.

Very interesting. Would be pretty crazy if I made this topic and last night they snuck in this as part of some hotfix lol

I know it happens in offline mode, because I just did it while practicing my gun skills last night. Needed a room for cover so I unlocked a door I haven't entered before and saw it pop up. Can't claim I have paid enough attention to see if it works in online mode.

Honestly this feels like something they snuck in maybe mid wipe and at that point there weren't many "new" doors for me to open so I wouldn't be getting the xp and therefore wouldn't know this is a thing.

​

Nevertheless, the doors used to give xp EVERY time you unlocked them, not just the first time.

He is right.

Gaining xp every time you unlock the same door was silly.

Why though? It literally affected nothing to get like 10-30 xp per door open.

You get it for exploration XP because it's the first time you've been to that part of the map

Newish player here. Just recently did prapor's second task where you have to get the bronze pocket watch. Took me three raids to finally succeed, but I know I only got xp for opening the truck door the first time I did it.
