Starfield: How to Pick Locks (& Where to Find Digipicks)? ›

The best way to get more Digipicks in Starfield is to explore. While a few merchants will sell them you'll get loads more by searching the random bases and installations you'll find on various planets and moons. You won't have to search long before you pick enough to keep you going for a while.

One particularly-reliable digipick vendor is found on Jemison in the Alpha Centauri system. Exit your ship from the New Atlantis spaceport and walk to the fountain square. To your left, you'll spot a store called Jemison Mercantile. Trade with the vendor, and navigate to the “Misc” submenu at the bottom.

To pick a lock in Starfield, here's what to do:

Select between your keys on the right-hand side. Rotate your chosen key around the lock until all blocks fit in holes. Hit "F" (or "A" on controller) to slot the key. Repeat the process with other keys until all holes are filled.
