A lockpick on the ground
Lockpicks are craftable utilities and equipment in Dying Light. As the name suggests, they are used to pick locks that are found on Chests, cars, vans and lockers. They are the stereotypical partly uncurled paperclip which is used to jiggle the lock mechanism to unlock it.
Description
Got a lock you need opened? Got some hand-eye coordination and a little patience? You are GOOD TO GO!
Usage
Kyle Crane is able to use lockpicks to pick locks of varying difficulty, ranging from Easy to Very Hard. The difficulty will determine the loot within. Easy locks have average loot, while the most difficult locks will contain the best loot. By using Survivor Sense, the difficulty of the lock will be revealed by what colour it comes up with. White is an easy lock while purple is a very hard lock. Activating the lock starts a lock picking minigame, much like the one seen in other open world games, where the lockpick is placed in the lock along with a screwdriver. Turning the lock one way or another will cause the lockpick to vibrate if done incorrectly. The lockpick must be turned to the correct position in order to unlock the lock. If too much force is used when the lockpick is in an incorrect position, the pick will break and a new one must be used. Successful lockpicking will occur when the lock turns 90 degrees and clicks open.

Notes
- 3 lockpicks can be crafted from 1 metal part once the Survival Starter Kit has been learnt.
- This upgrades to 5 lockpicks once the Crafting Expertise skill is learnt.
- A single lockpick can be found randomly in chests, as loot on bodies, in trash cans, etc.
- They are rarely found in the game world lying on counters in buildings, etc.
- There is an easy trick to never break lockpicks while in the minigame. Normally, trial and error must be used to determine the lock picks orientation, which results in broken lockpicks. However, you can back out of the minigame at any time and try again. If the lock is not budging and the lockpick is likely to break, simply back out and try again from a new position. This can be done as many times as needed and by doing so, lockpicks can be preserved.
