How To Play: Lockpicking

Lockpicking is a valuable skill in that allows players to enter buildings on the surface and rooms in The Maze without alerting enemies.

Players must first possess a Lockpick in order to lockpick a door. Lockpicks can be obtained in supply crates throughout the map and spawn randomly. The number of lockpicks a player has is visible above their item hotbar and when approaching a locked door. Lockpicks are consumable items and can only be used once.

If a player does not possess any lockpicks and approaches a locked door, the player is presented with the option to kick in the door. Kicking in the door, however, is sinful if heard or later detected.

Using Lockpicks
To unlock a door or crate, go up to the locked item and hold down the Interact button to begin unlocking the door.

If held for the full duration (approximately 3 seconds), the door will be unlocked.

If interrupted by an enemy or if the button is not held for the full duration, the lockpick will need to be used again.
