If you’re looking for some of the best loot in *Dying Light: The Beast*, you’ll often find it behind locked doors or chests. Luckily, most door locks in the game can be picked, and the process is straightforward—similar to lockpicking mechanics you might recognize from other games.
### How to Pick Locks in Dying Light: The Beast
Picking locks in *Dying Light: The Beast* is a fairly simple process. When you encounter a lock you can pick and have lockpicks in your inventory, interacting with the lock will open a minigame window.
In this minigame, your goal is to move the pick left or right to find the correct position that allows you to turn the lock and open it. Here’s how it works:
– Use your mouse or control sticks to slightly turn the pick to one side or the other.
– Press the use key to attempt to turn the lock.
If the lock shakes but doesn’t turn, this means you need to adjust the pick’s position. If the lock turns partway, but less than 90 degrees to the left, you’re getting close. The lock will only open once it turns a full 90 degrees and you hear a distinct clicking sound.
Each lock in the game has a difficulty level—from Very Easy to Very Hard. The higher the difficulty, the narrower the correct unlocking window becomes. Additionally, harder locks drain your lockpicks’ durability much faster when you jiggle the pick around.
And yes—this lockpicking system is very similar to how it works in *Skyrim*, but that’s just a fun coincidence.
With a little practice, you’ll be unlocking valuable loot in no time!
