How to Get Lockpicks in Palworld & What They Unlock
InPalworld,Lockpicks are a highly valuable item introduced in the v0.3.1 update. Lockpicks serve the same purpose as a key in that they enable you to open the various chests you come across while exploring the islands, but they are much more efficient, as they can be crafted rather than restricted to beingsourced through dungeons.
Upon using a key on a chest, players must completea Lockpicking mini game, which involves solving a keyhole 3D-puzzle on screen with your lockpick. After doing so successfully, the chest will pop open, and you will be able to grab your rewards with no problems. While this is a bit more tedious than keys, it saves the repetition of grinding for them before heading out to find chests.
Lockpicks are considered key items, meaning you will only need to craft them just once to gain permanent unlocks to any chest you encounter.
There are three different Lockpick variants in Palworld that players can obtain, each one being capable of unlocking a different chest rarity. To help players prioritize the resources that they will need to make the investment of crafting Lockpicks, everything you’ll need to know about these items have been highlighted on the table below.
