Starfield: How to Lockpick

holy sh@t is this difficult

Thank you! ❤

Lockpicking explained.

The devs involved are shitcunts that deserve 55 gallon drum acid baths that last a few months.

Ample supply = 2?

Also, if they circle lights up blue when swapping throwing patterns that means that that will fit into the circle somewhere! Kinda just figured that one out on my own

Thanks (Dzięki) :)

Great on screen animations to follow, great explanation and decent time consumption of a video. Thanks (for also not making this like a 10 min vid)

Why does it only show less amount of picks than you actually have?

Bottom line, carry 1000000 picks

Is there anyone not on speed that can explain this?

The most annoying thing in the game

Great guide, I've wasted so many digipicks and now understand how it works. Thanks.

They put real effort into making the shittiest lockpicking minigame possible

Can't get ring to rotate

Wow that now makes perfect sense 👌 thank you

How do you switch to another digipick to find one where there is a solution

This is an amazing looking last gen console game. Oh wait, it supposed to be for current gen and beyond? Oh

Lockpocking in this game is IMPOSSIBLE

Who else didn’t know u could cycle through the different patterns?

How does auto slot work? This button does nothing.

The fact they thought that shitty one sentance tutorial would suffice 🙄

Pretty annoying looking up how to fuckin lock pick lol

Thank you! Simple explanation that actually makes sense!

Mabey get to expert before you make a guide for clicks.😢

Lol no. You do not solve from the outside in. Maybe on a novice lock. You better plan from the inside out. 1 pick every time.

<3

They really need a proper in game explanation for how this works. The very brief introduction to it they give you in game just tells you the mechanics of lining up a set of pins with a set of holes. But it doesn't give you any indication whatsoever of the overall strategy in opening a lock. It just leaves you with the assumption that after each tool is applied another random set of holes will be presented and that it's just dumb luck to guess which sequence you need to use the tools in.

So are all locks solvable with the picks you are given? Are master locks just harder puzzles or do they require higher levels in lock picking?

you can click the other pick variations!!!?????????

Why does any game ever change lockpicking from the tried and true method that basically every other rpg has used for decades now, just ends up being unnecessarily complicated and annoying

How to spin on PC?

The algorithm is trying so hard to hide starfield 😂 it's such a great game

I’m just gonna uninstall

This is the best explanation guys! Took me a few videos.

The lack of tutorial in this game is absurd

This helped me so much thanks

The WORST lockpick in a game if ive ever seen one.

This is the third guide I've watched to understand this system and it was the first one that actually led me to understand how the system works. Excellent job.

Mousewheel to rotate BTW.

This is the first of several guides that actually makes sense TY. 38K views and 690 likes just shows how lazy people are in this world. Liked.

Awesome explanation. Thanks

This is the worst mini game of all time

The question is: do you really need to crack the expert and master locks?
Is there super OP gear behind these doors? Is it neccessary to pick expert and master locks to get special outcomes on quests?
If the expert and master locks don't gatekeep things that are absolutely neccessary, then there is no reason to waste so much time and energy on these locks.

It would be so much easier to get if you used the terms that are literally on the screen. (slot key, start). "lock in" is not a term on the menu. Might make it easier for a lot of people judging from the amount of thumbs down on this video.

It's hard enough to find the damn locks🙄

Horrific job of explaining

What a shitty idea of a minigame. This takes away the joy of opening boxes. Bethesda surely ran out of testers who could this was an utterly needles and supid waste of time. Breaks immersion to be honest.

Thanks. Better than polygons vid.

Entirely too convoluted, especially at higher difficulties... Here's hoping for an early "skip lock pick mini game" mod.
This is a prime example of change for the sake of change.

Make sure u quick save before u attempt lock picking
