Patch notes for the update 1.19 say that this change was intentional:

CHANGED: The pipe wrench can no longer be used to repair vehicle engines

This seems to be an intentional game mechanics. Without this, it'd be very difficult to find someone in this huge world. Also, this allows some interesting experience involving tracking down another person or trying to avoid or outplay them tactically.

Yeah, it actually happens in case of any set of containers, including those in vicinity, when some of them are closed. It's soo annoying, especially when you have 10-20 crates at your base and try to sort the stuff in them.

@zkillersam It's possible that someone just brute-forced the codes of your padlocks, stole all the stuff, barbwire included, and left the padlocks on the gates just for fun.

Disabling 3D audio in the console settings may help. Meanwhile, the devs confirmed they are aware of the bug and going to fix it in the near future.

Are you supposed to be able to do so with those items though? Was this possible in the past?

I can confirm that the map is still glitchy on PS4/PS5. You can't scroll it all the way down to explore the southern coast, as was mentioned above. Also, when you look at the open map and use analog sticks or arrow buttons to scroll it, those buttons perform their main functions on the background, which is rotate/move the player, turn on/off the microphone, etc., which can get you exposed and, eventually, killed while you think you're safe, silently exploring the map! This is such an important part of this game, it's a shame this issue goes unfixed for so long! Looking forward to the fix! 🤞

The map is still glitchy on PS4/PS5. You can't scroll all the way down below Zvir/Staroe/Solnechniy as was mentioned above. Also, when the map is open and you use arrow buttons or analog sticks to scroll the map, those buttons also perform their functions on the background - as in move/rotate the player, switch the microphone, etc., which can easily get you exposed and eventually killed while you're exploring the map! The map is so important part of this game, I'm surprised this bug has not been fixed for years! Please, fix it! 🙏
