Another tip to pick faster is to save your auto attempts for situations where many picks will fit a particular ring. Saves you from needing to solve the whole puzzle at once.

@1337billybob 8 месяцев назад

I think you can be a Brit more aggressive with the first lock rather than planning out all the others except to not use ones that are viable for all rings for later. Only thing the poster neglected if a ring has five pips then a two and a three is more advantageous than a four and a with of card one pip.

@nd8490 9 месяцев назад

Sort of. There are high tier locks on containers that always spawn high credit value contraband so the skill has meaning in that case. You can pick those locks, fly to another system come back to the locks and repick them and get more contraband that has repawned. It's a great credit farm.

@vonblunder 10 месяцев назад

It's nice that you have a very systematic approach. I just wing it and use undo and auto slot when I am stuck... somehow it also works. At least the lock pick here is pure brain and not fiddling with highly breakable lockpicks.

@unclemumble 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! I love the lockpicking in starfield, easily the best they've done

@davidchandler5432 10 месяцев назад

Glad to see I was doing it decently already, my method isn't too dissimilar to yours (I probably eyeball it sloppily more than you do though, which will result in wasted digipicks as I mess up, but that's okay). And I agree 100% that it becomes a lot easier (and more fun) once you're rank 2 in the lockpicking skill since the rings turning blue when a pick would fit changes everything. I'm not a natural "puzzle guy" but I am someone who has to open every lock I see so I ranked up the skill and was glad to see it does get easier with some more experience. I'm not completely sure how "banking" auto slots works, but I try to save them for Master locks so I can get the first row (at least) sorted, and once the first row is sorted then it's an easy race to the finish. I really like how Bethesda made their lockpicking mini game into something you actually have to THINK to figure out, that's an impressive change to me. I've only played Skyrim VR and FO4 VR so I'm not a Bethesda fan from the olde days, but to me the lockpicking in those games was just a brute force fiddly thing that ya didn't need to think to solve (people who are experts on the mechanic may disagree of course). Even though I'm not a puzzle-fan generally I think their digipick mini game is great.

@jonathancharles1384 9 месяцев назад

Good tips! Something else that occasionally helps me is that in most case I've seen, you'll use 2 rings per "layer" of a lock. This can help narrow things down a bit sometimes. For example, if a layer has 7 slots, you know you'll likely need to use a 4-tab and a 3-tab ring to complete it (since rings have between 1 and 4 tabs).

@SleepyGraugans 9 месяцев назад

Correct. It's two rings per "layer" (ring would be redundant, right?) 95+% of the time. On rare occasions, it might only be a single ring that's needed, like seen in the video at 8:26. So one shouldn't try to look for a 3 ring solution at the start. I only had this happen once among hundreds of locks and it was probably a coincidence. Also, if it helps: write down the solutions you come up with (like first layer: 3 and 6, second layer: 2 and 10 and so on). If you only just picked your first handful of locks, expert and master locks might blow your mind at first. You'll get better over time, start to recognize the ring patterns and so on. At some point, it gets rather easy, or at least less time consuming.

@aetryn1485 9 месяцев назад

@@SleepyGraugans I'm pretty sure the way the puzzles are generated it makes each layer and 2 picks that will solve it and puts them into the mix, then adds random picks as "duds". The random picks it throws in may occasionally allow for alternate solutions involving 1 or 3 (or even 4 if you rolled a bunch of onesies), but ever since I started looking for 2-pick solutions to every layer I've never had a situation where I couldn't find one, even if that required adjusting my provisional solution to another layer. Of course, if you see an easy solution that involves a different number of picks, that's totally fine, but it's SO much easier to run with the 2 pick assumption.

@NaughtiusMaximu5 8 месяцев назад

this has helped me a ton, i'm only rank 1 for picking, and i've constantly felt that even advanced locks kept giving me picks that dont fit, i never realized that i can orientate picks and they stay, i kept thinking i HAD to slot a pick, because i'm stoopid

@user-ez7sc9wf8y 6 месяцев назад

@jakeegarris 9 месяцев назад

What I find to work the best for expert and master level locks is to just start with the innermost ring and work your way outward, so you will immediately know which pieces have to be saved and which ones are all still free. That way you never rush through and use a four piece combo on ring two when it actually needed to be saved for ring 4

@Sanfu69 9 месяцев назад

Wow didn't know about the glowing blue thing. For master's I'll jsut use 1 autoslot to solve one of the outer picks which makes solving it very obvious then that basically just leaves you with an expert lock. then with that i just work inside out aligning everything and then close them all quick. this is gonna make it way easier

@wjohnsaunders 8 месяцев назад

@torstenwinkler8610 9 месяцев назад

I always count the number of slots that have to be filled. About more than 95% of solutions use 2 keys per ring. So if you have 5 slots, you know it will be a 2 and a 3 key used, it is much more unlikely to be a 4 and a 1 (if you have 1s at all). Also the 1 keys are mostly used in the last ring - so try not to use them first (unless you have enough of them). I mostly run the puzzle from the outside - I get too confused when trying inner rings first and then have to remember what keys those were ... Since I always have a lot of spare digipicks (often >100) I don't care that much about failing a lockpick and starting new.

@lance134679 9 месяцев назад

I solved this problem by getting just one rank of Security. I think the first point gives the most value since it doubles the number of locks you pick and the puzzles are faster to solve than expert and master.

@josephfrisk1765 9 месяцев назад

You know, knowing about the rings changing color would have made a difference. I was using division to solve my puzzles. If a ring has 8, then a 4/4, 3/3/2, or a 2/2/2/2, just gotta figure which numbers will fit based on what picks are available. For the most part, it works, but like you said i tend to use a pick too early. Definitely going to start using this trick

@AndyGrouch 9 месяцев назад

I used this method before I got skills enough for lock picking. But when you get more skills, just make sure you try to use the high level picks as early as possible.

@mattc7420 6 месяцев назад

@thant0s 9 месяцев назад

Save yourself time and headaches: use your auto-resolves. Usually this is best done early on, as it guarantees a single “correct” choice that won’t bung you up later down the road and can domino into further “correct” choices. You also have an auto slot cap, so might as well use one or two so they continuing banking.

@sfocelot 10 месяцев назад

Very informative video. Iv played about 50 hours and your video made the process click for me! I thought once you solve a ring, with any pick, it just moves onto the next ring. It didnt compute that you have to solve the whole ring with multiple locks to move onto the next! My lockpick game will be 10000% better now

@unclemumble 10 месяцев назад

@Razumen 8 месяцев назад

I used to try and plan it out, but it was just too much effort and time. Now I just try to see if there's one pick that only works with the first circle. If there is I'll start with that, or one that works with the least sections. I'll generally try to save one pips if possible, but it's not a big deal, because often there are ones left over. Doing it this way let's me solve most master locks in less than a minute with very few attempts ending in failure.

@wtfronsson 10 месяцев назад

If only there was a way to mark. My brain sure can't keep track of which ones I already matched or rejected. But it kinda helps (the brain) to accept that you might make mistakes, and have to pay for them in picks. Rather than frying the old thinker, trying to save every pick. Plus, you can totally afford it. No one in this game at like lvl10 is gonna be poor. Maybe Survival and True Survival modes will change that, will be interesting.

@raventhorX 8 месяцев назад

seems i've been solving picks this way from the get go really. its honestly still annoying and im looking for a more simple way to go about this but looks like there might not be one. Also would the rank 4 perk remove only picks that can't slot in or would it remove picks that aren't required for the puzzle. might not be a huge help anyway but if it removes all picks that aren't needed it can still assist with getting rid of what I call false positives. Situations where you have multiple picks that can be slot into a ring, but you need the right combinations at that specific ring to pass and from my experience so far there a picks that will be slotable but will not have any other slottable alternatives for you to continue.

I've really enjoyed the game, but lockpicking is one of my biggest gripes about it. I don't find it difficult or anything, but it does take an ounce or two of thought. When you unlock a door just to find a locked loot box, a locked safe and maybe even a locked terminal inside... I dunno man it just pisses me off. I guess you can call it immersion breaking?

I have a few people on discord talking about how they are wanting to install the 'easy locks' mod because it's too hard... or repetitive. I agree with it being repetitive, but I found a common enemy in small chests that have garbage loot in them with advanced or higher locks... absolutely pointless imo. That being said, I've mastered master locks without removing keys or anything... Just work backwards, because you can figure out what goes in the center and then set the keys in the right spots, and the master lock will be done super fast. You sort of did, but I don't like to work from the 2nd ring or 3rd before i figured out the middle, but I guess it works anyway. I have had a case where two extremely similar pick keys seemed to be right but they were slightly off, so I can see how eliminating unused keys helps in that case... but most of the time I just take a few seconds to look at it. I picked my first master lock on try #1 (showing off to the people who glitched the constellation armor case lol) Funny enough I didn't even know the blue ring thing xD

@Zayphar 9 месяцев назад

SECURITY: The question is: do you really need to crack the expert and master locks? Is there super OP gear behind these doors/chests? No. Is it necessary to pick expert and master locks to get special outcomes on quests? No. Then what is behind the master locks? Credits. So, this is mostly pointless. Also, you can occasionally get randomly generated Legendary gear that is usually not useful. So, you might wind up with even more stuff to sell for Credits. Even more annoying and more pointless. I would hope to see Unique(one of a kind) Advanced/Legendary gear, not just another Legendary(Boring!). But I have never come across this. The rewards you get from picking locks do not correlate to the level of the lock. The loot behind Master locks does not appear to be any more special/powerful than the loot behind Advanced locks. One would think that a more difficult lock would guard more valuable loot, but that does not seem to be the case. In fact I have come across many Master locked doors/chests that have essentially nothing of value behind them. How many times have I opened a Master lock to find less than 100 credits and some random ammo? Too many damn times.

For me I use a method that is a lot quicker and just a little bit less safe for advanced+ locks. I'll see which pick with the most spikes fits in the least amount of rings, fits in the current ring, and can be completed with other picks (pretty much just skipping solving lower locks.) It might not be quite as accurate as the one you said, but it's still 90%+ in my experience and you save a lot of headaches remembering which pick goes where on what level.
