One of the main benefits of the Palworld lockpicking update is how easy it is to craft Lockpicking Tools to unlock Treasure Chests instead of farming keys. In addition, Lockpicking Tools count as Keys, which means they won’t take up inventory space.

Here’s how to complete the Palworld lockpicking mini-game:

  1. Craft a Lockpick using the instructions above.
  2. Approach a locked treasure chest.
  3. Press the Lockpick button.
    • PC: V key
    • Xbox: Y button
  4. Align the pick at the correct angle and turn the lock. Then, determine the proper angle by observing the reaction as you turn the lock. You can pick the treasure chest lock as many times as needed.

Three different tiers of lockpicks will unlock specific tiers of treasure chests shown in the table below.
