Lockpicking Guide for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Mastering the art of sneaking around in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* can be quite a challenge—especially when it comes to lockpicking. The game’s realistic approach adds depth, but also difficulty. If you're looking to bypass locked doors and chests without drawing attention, here's everything you need to know about how to lockpick in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lockpick Guide

If you've played the first *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*, prepare yourself—lockpicking is back, and it's just as tricky as ever. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Ensure you have a lockpick in your inventory. Without one, you won’t get far.
2. Interact with the lock. This could be a door, chest, or any other locked object in the game world.
3. Use the right stick to explore the lock mechanism. Keep moving until the cursor changes into a golden circle—this is your sweet spot.
4. Hold the L2 button while keeping the cursor inside the golden area. As you rotate the lock with L2, maintain precision with the right stick. If you drift outside the golden zone, the lockpick will break, forcing you to start over.

It sounds straightforward, but execution is where most players struggle. The real challenge lies in maintaining control of both inputs simultaneously. Your lockpick breaking isn't just a setback—it costs you the tool and creates noise that might alert nearby NPCs.

To avoid frustration, save your game before attempting a pick. It’s also wise to practice on easier locks first. As your lockpicking skill improves through use, future attempts will become less stressful and more rewarding.

How to Get More Lockpicks

Lockpicks are relatively common throughout the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. While merchants don’t typically sell them, you’ll often find them looted from guards, soldiers, and bandits.

And that’s all you need to know to get started with lockpicking in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. With patience and practice, you’ll soon be slipping past locked doors like a true sneakerson.
