Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits separated by an X must sum to 10; digits separated by a V must sum to 5. Not all X's and V's are given. Blue lines are Lockout lines; the end cells (indicated by diamonds) must differ by at least 4, and the digits on the lines must not be equal to or between the end values.
One of two Lockout collaborations between myself and Tallcat as part of the new Unlocked pack! Feel free to check out the second here.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 9, no spaces
