If you’re looking for some of the best loot in *Dying Light: The Beast*, you’re likely to find it behind locked doors or chests. Fortunately, most door locks in the game can be picked, and the process is fairly straightforward—if not a little familiar.

## How to Pick Locks in Dying Light: The Beast

Picking locks in *Dying Light: The Beast* is a simple process. When you come across a lock that can be picked and have lockpicks in your inventory, simply interact with the lock. This will open a minigame window where you can attempt to unlock it.

Within this minigame, your goal is to move the pick left or right to find the correct “window” where you can turn the lock and open it. To put it another way: use your mouse or control sticks to adjust the lockpick’s position, then press the use key.

– If the lock shakes but does not turn, it means you need to adjust the pick’s direction.
– If the lock turns some 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 the telltale click sound.

Each lock also has an associated difficulty level, ranging from Very Easy to Very Hard. The higher the difficulty:

– The thinner the unlocking window becomes.
– The faster your lockpick’s durability decreases when you jiggle the pick.

And yes, this lockpicking mechanic works quite a bit like it does in *Skyrim*. But that’s just an interesting coincidence!

Mastering lockpicking will unlock access to better loot and make your journey through *Dying Light: The Beast* much smoother. Happy looting!
