(Update: I found that this glitch is useless as it softlocks you later on)

I found out that you can skip opening the safe and getting the gas mask in the Steam version using this simple glitch.

Do any of you think this will be faster than getting the gas mask?

As it turns out, this glitch will softlock you later on because skipping the safe means skipping the journal, making this skip pointless.

Would probably be useful in NG+ though

i assume you still need to turn on the generator to activate rowbot but still if you get this first try it should save time.

NG+ is a bad meme tho :P

even though it soft locks the game, its a pretty cool glitch
