Starfield: How to Lockpick

Lockpicking in Starfield is wildly different than what we’ve previously seen Bethesda's Fallout or Elder Scrolls series. In Starfield, you won't find any bobby pins or lockpicks -- in Starfield, they're called Digipicks! In this video, we'll give you a few hints on where to find Digipicks, and then give you a full rundown on how the new lockpick mini-game works, as well as solving a few for you on-screen.

Here we are gents, all looking for the same help on the first box. Man is this system complicated compared to an Oblivion or Skyrim system.

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.

Everybody is here after having been faced with the first "Novice Difficulty".:))

[Fumble]

Make sure u quick save before u attempt lock picking

[aaronax]

Lockpocking in this game is IMPOSSIBLE

[nopeeeee]

The lack of tutorial in this game is absurd

[Rowgue]

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Thank you! Simple explanation that actually makes sense!

[csauce]

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

[hjifjfkdh]

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

[YuhYuhAespa]

It's hard enough to find the damn locks🙄

[furanhart]

They put real effort into making the shittiest lockpicking minigame possible

[MajesticAuras]

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)

[MC-nsgb]

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 does auto slot work? This button does nothing.
