How to lockpick Doors and Chests?

In order to lockpick most doors and chests, players need to follow these steps: 

  1. Players must have a digipick in their inventory
  2. After that, for every locked door or chest players interact with they will get an option to unlock it with the Digipick. 
  3. Players then need to solve the mini-game and if successful, players will unlock the Doors or chests. 
  4. The higher the level of the chest or door, the difficulty level of the mini-games will be higher as well 
  5. In the start, players will have access to lockpick basic doors and chests but with Security skills, then they will be able to lockpick advanced doors and chests. 
  6. The mini-game requires players to spin the circle and make the correct alignment to unlock the doors.

The Security Skill has its own rank level and players will get extra benefits for each they unlock. There are 4 ranks and here are the benefits they provide: 

  1. Rank 1: Allows you to hack ADVANCED locks and save up to two auto attempts.
  2. Ranks 2: Allows you to hack EXPERT locks and save up to three auto attempts. This rank also turns some of the rings blue if a pick can be used in it, this helps out quite a bit by removing some of the possible pick choices
  3. Rank 3: Allows you to hack MASTER locks and save up to four auto attempts.
  4. Rank 4: The final rank allows players to spend an extra Digipick to delete unusable pick choices. You will also be able to save up to five auto attempts.
