How to unlock the Master Thief achievement in Metro: Last Light Redux - Definitive Guide

This can be farmed on the level REVOLUTION - at the very start of the level, kill the three guards at the beginning (or knock out, depending which play through you're on) and find a key on a table downstairs. Then, go back upstairs, make a jump and at the top through the door there is a safe that the key unlocks. You can then reload the last checkpoint and repeat until the achievement unlocks.

I think it can be a faster on "ECHOES"
At the very beginning of the level look on the left you'll be able to see a bar, pick up the key put on your gas mask, just after Pavel opened the door don't climb the stairs go on the left of stairs. You'll be able to see a hole in the wall behind a dustcart

Dead City seems to be the very quickest to me. Go into the door on the left, up the stairs and the red key is in the bathroom, go back, and go up the next flight of stairs, and there is the safe needing that key. Less than a minute each time.

This is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to farm this!!!!!!!

Load up Torchlight, as soon as you start, you will see a skeleton on the left next to Pavel....grab the safe key off the skeleton, and just run to the end of the tunnel and the safe is right there in front of you, then just reload checkpoint.....rinse and repeat!!!

On the 8th chapter Echoes (the mission after the spider/scorpions), immediately at the start, jump over the bar on the left and you will find the key on a shelf behind the bar. Progress forward to the door, but instead of going up the stairs, go behind the dumpster to the left and crouch through a hole in the wall and you will find the safe. No enemies you have to fight. Load last checkpoint, rinse and repeat.

I actually completed this achievement using the first guide, but if you wait to this point it will be much less time consuming than the first guide, as you don't have to deal with any enemies and the possibility of dying. Also it comes sooner in the story line than the second guide (both are good guides to get this achievement). I believe this is the first opportunity in the game to get this achievement in the least amount of time with reloading the last checkpoint.

These must come during one playthrough. There are more than 10 but this is the fastest way to get them, you have to find a key and then a corresponding safe in one area. You can also get this via Chapter select. Brought to my attention was a little trick by Xemik. However, if you want the MGRs and extra ammo that come with each individual safe then just follow the Guide. The original quote follows:

Master Thief: It would seem that you don't need to open different safe boxes to get this. I followed the Guide to find them but I opened one before the guide's first one at Torchlight so I'm now at Bandits which should be my eighth (the guide's 7th). I opened it just now & the trophy popped.

Now, I know I've opened that safe box at least twice before, but I restarted the checkpoint after messing up for the Rescue trophy. So that would make 10 openings in total. What isn't in doubt, though, is that I have only opened 8 unique boxes.

No big deal since I'm sure most people will 'fall over' 10 safe boxes but if you haven't, you might like to try & open one then reload the checkpoint and open it again.

TORCHLIGHT:

1. When you start the chapter, there will be a body to your left with a key in its hand. Now run all the way to the end of the passage and there will be a safe among the rubble.

ECHOES:

2. In the beginning of the Chapter go around the bar to your left and pick up the key at the back. After that put on the gas mask and let Pavel open the door. Before you go up the staircase, go behind a dumpster at the base and there will be a small passage. The safe is through this passage.

REVOLUTION:

3. In the first area with the metal detector, the key will be in the very bottom room on a table. Next, go back upstairs and go as high as you can, jumping the gap in the stairs. At the top is a small storage room with the safe.

4. In the first large room, keep right and you will come to some boxes. Climb on top of them and crawl through an air duct to a door. You will eventually pass a small room on your right that has two soldiers chatting. Go past this and enter a room with a man exercising. Turn right and the key will be on a table on your right. Now go back to the room you passed with the two soldiers and the safe will be in this room.

5. In the area after you turn off the fan and climb through it you will see a table with some cards and some soldiers grouped around it. Once you have the key, use one of the ladders on the left side to get up and jump to a platform with the safe on it.

REGINA:

6. When you reach the ice tunnel, look for a doorway on your right. Go through this and look for a dead body in the back of the room with a key next to it. After you pick this up, go back and if you're walking towards the way you came, there will be a small room on the left with the safe in it (if you continue through this room, then you will find a Shambler).

BANDITS:

7. After you untie the guy, you will come to an area with a train car on your left and a hallway on your right. Go into the train car and turn left to find the key. Now go across and into the hallway space. Go all the way to the end and next to the switch to open the airlock is the safe.

KHAN:

8. After your encounter with the River of Fate, you will arrive at a guard station with all the soldiers slaughtered. Examine the guard in front of the Valve rifle to find a key. Next, go down the stairs to your right and underneath the stairs is a safe.

BRIDGE:

9. In the first area under the bridge, there will be a small area that you can go down to in the middle. The key is there next to a body hanging over a partition. Now make your way to the escalators but before you go up them, go into a small room on your left that has the safe in it.

DEPOT:

10. In the first area with enemies there will be an enclosed space on your right. In that space is the safe. With this in mind go to the back of the room where there are two tunnels. Go down the left one to find a key on the ground. Now, go back to the space to open the vault.

Throughout the game, you will find yourself stumbling upon locked safe boxes that are hidden away in certain areas of a level. The only way to open these safes is to acquire a small, red safe key. Be warned, this achievement will require a good amount exploring, looting, and backtracking in order to find both the safe keys and safe boxes.

With that said, make sure to check every corridor, room, and alternate path while progressing through a level. With a safe key in your possession, all that is required is to continue exploring in order to find a safe box. Overall, there is no in-depth guide that can detail the locations of keys and safe boxes, so try to explore and loot as much as possible. Once you open at least ten locked safe boxes, the achievement is yours.

NOTE: If you desire to grind this achievement out quickly, then load up the “Echoes” level. In the starting area, there will be a key to your left on the bar counter; grab it. Once Pavel opens the door and starts to head upstairs, crouch underneath the staircase and you will find a hole in the wall. Here, you can use they safe key on a well-hidden safe for some goodies. Now just reload the checkpoint to continue the grind.

At the very beginning of the level "REVOLUTION" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVJ060TgwxY

Next you need to reload the last checkpoint and repeat until you get the trophy.

Bust in the Camp mission, where the only note is (near the surrendering Reich fighter) there is a key, and not far from it on the bridge there is a room with a safe. There, after stunning the soldier, there was a checkpoint.
