it is my understanding, if they are locked, then locked forever...

Some MagSeals are always locked (example: The magseals at the Nightsister vs Singing Mt. Clan Battle), but most MagSeals are either always open but empty (example: Tusken Fort) or they cycle (example: Woolamander Temple, Janta Cave, etc.) The ones that cycle have different schedules depending on location, but they will cycle through respawning loot and every now and then will also lock for a cycle, then they will unlock with more loot.

Heh, I've never had the patience to stick around long enough anywhere to see cycles


I just assumed they were bugged if they were empty.


I guess I'll go revisit some places now.

Some places it's 30 minutes, some places it's 90 minutes...it differs by location. Same thing for debris piles and bone piles.

they spawn every so often and each time there's a chance that they'll be either open or locked.


i thought smugglers could slice them.
