Everyone loves a good lockpicking mini-game, and Bethesda has been paving the way for them ever since the early days of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, now turning their attention to Starfield and Digipicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

These lockpick challenges require a bit of thought, patience and sometimes the necessary level of skills to jimmy them open. <\/span>By doing so, the rewards can be very useful in your pursuits across the galaxy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Even if a brief tutorial is provided in<\/span> Starfield<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s fair to say that Bethesda does leave a lot to be figured out by players themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s where we come in. Instead of failing countlessly while using up all your valuable Digipicks, we\u2019ve done our best to break down exactly how these pesky puzzles work step by step and what you need to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

With all that in mind, head below for all the details on completing Starfield Digipick mini-games, including where to find more of the useful lockpicking devices. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever you have a Digipick in your possession and you attempt to pick a lock, the lockpicking mini-game screen will be presented. This features a number of rings with open slots, all of which need to have a key that fits into them.<\/p>\n

On the right-hand side, there are the available keys (represented by straight lines), with the aim being to figure out which keys fit into which open slots. The best thing to do is to take your time and count how many slots there are to eliminate which keys won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if you unlock Security Level 2, the rings will light up blue when you have selected a key that will fit. Just because it fits doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it will work, however, as you can lock out another key required to complete that ring or the next one.<\/p>\n

Advanced locks will need multiple keys for each ring, so experiment with lining each up. These keys will be left in place when you try a different one.<\/p>\n

Make sure to line up keys that work with the outer and inner rings, and that the keys in their respective rings don\u2019t have overlapping slots before attempting to insert them, as it will use a Digipick \u2013 and undoing it will use another.<\/p>\n
