Lockpicking is part of Starfield if you want to discover hidden loot and interesting places. A helpful skill simplifies the system significantly.

In Starfield, it can be advantageous to pick locks to gain access to loot in safes and chests or to enter areas behind locked doors. Moreover, the ability to hack locks and computers can also occasionally be useful for quests.

The whole process takes place in the form of a mini-game, which can be a challenge for some players – especially at higher levels of locks.

Fortunately, there is a very helpful skill that simplifies lockpicking.

Starfield: 5 useful skills that you should definitely unlock at the start

Pay attention to the blue rings

What kind of skill is that? On X, formerly Twitter, the user “Miss Atomic” pointed out on September 10 that the rings give you a very important hint when picking locks. The rings of the lock light up blue when the selected key fits.

However, to unlock this help for picking locks, you need to level the skill “Security” in Starfield to rank 2. With this skill, not only do you see the blue rings – you can also pick more difficult locks depending on your rank.

This is what the rings show you:

a ring lights up blue when you click a key, indicating that the key only fits that ring
multiple rings light up blue, indicating that the selected key fits multiple rings
if none of the rings light up blue, the selected key doesn’t fit any ring and can therefore be ignored.

How can I level the skill? To bring the skill “Security” to rank 2, you need 2 skill points. You receive one skill point with each level in Starfield. Once you unlock rank 1 of the skill, you must first pick 5 locks to unlock rank 2.

With rank 4 of the skill, even keys that do not fit any ring and are therefore unnecessary can be eliminated.

Some doors in Starfield cannot be picked despite sufficient skills and digital picks and seem insurmountable. But the first “weapon” you receive in the game is the solution:
