In Star Wars Outlaws there are plenty of skills that you can learn. Lockpicking is one of them. We will explain how the minigame works.
What is lockpicking in Star Wars Outlaws? At the beginning of the game, Kay needs to get a data stick. She not only carries it stylishly in her hair, but it also helps her to pick any lock. When you attempt to pick a lock, a minigame will open, which you will need to complete with rhythm.
Stay in the Rhythm
How do I succeed in lockpicking? You will quickly notice that the lockpicking minigame is easier than it initially seems. You only need a little sense of rhythm.
The mechanism of the lock will make a clicking noise, and you must drill with your data stick at the right moment. You need to do this at least two to four times in the correct rhythm. So pause for a moment to hear the right intervals and then use your data stick.
The light pulses on the right side and on your data stick itself can help you find the rhythm.
You can adjust the additional light pulses in the game settings. To do this, go to the settings under “Game” and scroll down to the “Minigames” section. Here you can enable the “Visual Assistance for Lockpicking” option.
What if I don’t want to play the minigame? If you don’t want to bother with rhythm, Ubisoft provides you with several options. You can find all the settings under “Settings” – “Game” – “Minigames”:
- Change difficulty: If you find the minigame too difficult (or too easy), but still want to play it, you can adjust the difficulty level.
- Completely disable the minigame: In “Challenge: Lockpicking Rhythm,” you can disable the minigame and bypass it. You will then need to use your data stick for a while until the lock is picked.
Lockpicking in Star Wars Outlaws is one of Kay Vess’s main abilities. As an outlaw, she needs to pick her way through locked doors. She must do this regularly in her missions, which she receives from the syndicates, but which syndicate should I choose and what rewards do they offer?
