Starfield: How to Lockpick 

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".:))

Make sure u quick save before u attempt lock picking

Lockpocking in this game is IMPOSSIBLE

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.

The lack of tutorial in this game is absurd

Still have no clue lol

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

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)

Thank you! Simple explanation that actually makes sense!

Awesome explanation. Thanks

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

This helped me so much thanks

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.

Wow that now makes perfect sense 👌 thank you

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.

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

How does auto slot work? This button does nothing.

Thank you! ❤

Thanks. Better than polygons vid.

It's hard enough to find the damn locks🙄

They put real effort into making the shittiest lockpicking minigame possible

Mousewheel to rotate BTW.

Bottom line, carry 1000000 picks

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

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?

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

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

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

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

Can't get ring to rotate

Ample supply = 2?

How to spin on PC?

Is there anyone not on speed that can explain this?

Thanks (Dzięki) :)

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

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

At least it’s not like kingdom come

Masterlocks are a fking mess cause some of the paterns don't fit at all and you can complete locks and still have some left, they just confuse me and make this a fking pain....

holy sh@t is this difficult

I’m just gonna uninstall

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

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.

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.

This is the worst mini game of all time

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

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.

İgn Fallout 4 review 9.5 starfield review 7 this is so funny

How to get money from jim ryan.

This doesnt seem as satisfying as skyrim

So this works just like a mini-game from EVE a few years ago?... cool 😐

This still makes no sense to me...

There is an easier way to get them. But it is cheating. Just use the console command. It's built-in.

7.....i don't believe why you even bothered

Where’s my space mech? Oh yeah… I’ll just play armored core 6

Watched this ... still no clue what's going on. Definitely not great design, and even worse instruction (from Bethesda)

Pretty annoying looking up how to fuckin lock pick lol

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

Lockpicking and safes ruin games!

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.

IGN is so overrated

Why is ign bothering with making so many videos on what to do and how to do for Starfield If this is just some mediocre game. Make a guide for a better game such as Immortals of Avenum.

Trust Ign to make a guide on a simple mechanic they really think their fanbase is full of gimps

How the hell is this complicated?? 😂😂😂 these gamers are dense.

👍

The most annoying thing in the game
