Doing so will potentially break your pick and cause noise.

Do not move the locking mechanism until you have your pick in the sweet spot.

Always scout the location for potential passerbys – no need to get caught stealing.

While this resets your attempt, it will help you preserve picks.

If you feel your pick starting to break you can stop rotating the mechanism.

If you can, save before attempting to pick a lock – just in case things go wrong.

You should make sure to have plenty of lockpicks to spare and that Henry is well equipped with lockpicking focused perks if you want to crack these locks. You need skill 6 to be able to open them. A perk or two could go a long way for a successful pick. Hard locks require skill 5 and decent command of the mechanic itself. This is where the difficulty really starts to ramp up. However, they do require a bit more user precision than their very easy counterparts. Surprisingly there is no specific skill level required for easy locks as well. As long as you understand the basic lock picking mechanic you should be able to open these fairly easily. These locks have no prerequisite level for skill. How easy a lock is to open is determined by which one of the four potential categories it falls into:

When you rotate the lock all the way around you will have opened the lock. As you rotate the lock be sure to keep your pick in the sweet spot as its position shifts during the rotation. Step 2: Rotate the lockĪfter your pick is all lined up you can rotate the locking mechanism counterclockwise. The closer the sweet spot is to the beginning the easier the lock will be to pick.

To find the weak spot move your cursor to the place where the silver ball turns gold.
