Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

If you've played the original game, you know the drill—the lockpicking mini-game is back in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and it's just as challenging as ever.

Here’s how to lockpick:

1. Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory.
2. Interact with a lock, whether it's on a door or a chest.
3. Use the right stick to navigate the lock until the cursor turns into a golden circle.
4. While keeping the cursor on the golden circle with the right stick, hold the L2 button to rotate the lock until it unlocks.

It might sound straightforward, but maintaining that golden circle with the right stick can be tough. If you stray even slightly, the lockpick will break, and you'll have to start over. Plus, breaking a lockpick makes noise, potentially drawing unwanted attention from nearby NPCs.

To avoid frustration, save your game before attempting to pick a lock. Start with easier locks to build up your skills, and you'll find it gets easier as you progress.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Finding lockpicks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is relatively simple. While you can't buy them from merchants, you can often loot them from guards, soldiers, and bandits. You don't need to fight them; a quick pickpocket can do the trick if you prefer stealth.
