How do you pick locks in Fallout 4?
Lockpicking in Fallout 4 is all about feeling the vibe of the lock, haha. Seriously though, you rotate the lockpick with the screwdriver by using the analog sticks (or mouse and keyboard if on PC). The trick is to move the lockpick to find the sweet spot where it'll turn without resistance. If the lockpick starts to shake, ease up and try a slight adjustment. Too much force and snap, there goes your lockpick. Remember, the higher your character's Perception and the better your lockpicking skill, the easier it'll be to open those pesky locks.

Just turn the pick and hope for the best. If it breaks, try again!
Lol, just smash the lock with a super sledge. Who needs lockpicking?
Honestly, it's about patience and a gentle touch. The game gives visual and audio feedback, so pay attention to that. And stock up on lockpicks - you'll need 'em!
Pro tip: save game before picking a tough lock. So if you break your picks, just reload and try again. Saves time and picks!
