How does the Starfield lockpicking minigame work, and how can you pick locks more easily? Like previous Bethesda games, Starfield has a lockpicking minigame which you’ll need to master if you want to unlock all those tantalisingly locked doors and containers throughout the Settled Systems.
But unlike Skyrim or Fallout, where picking locks was all about finding the “sweet spot”, in Starfield it’s much more like a mini puzzle which tests your spatial perception as you try to fit the right shapes into the lock’s holes.
If you’re struggling to understand how to pick locks in Starfield, you’re not alone. But in this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to become a lockpicking master in Starfield, exploring how the different levels of locks work, how to earn and use auto-attempts, and some tips on how to pick locks more easily.
