Lockpicking Tools are items you can get and use to unlock Treasure Chests inPalworldthrough a small mini-game. However, you need to meet certain requirements before you can craft these items among other resources at your base. Some of the strongest items you can find are located within chests, so you’ll want to take the time to study which prerequisites to achieve to gather a container’s powerful loot.
The normal Technology Tree for basic items does not include Lockpicking Tools, meaning you have to look elsewhere for their blueprints. Lockpicking Tools arepart of the Ancient Technology Tree menu, which progresses when you gain Ancient Technology Points. These points are earned from various sources, like defeating Alpha Pals and Tower Syndicate bosses or reading theAncient Technical Manual inPalworld.

How To Use All Lockpicking Tools
Break Through Different Kinds Of Locked Chests
Chests come inCopper, Silver, and Gold, each corresponding to a type of Lockpicking Tool.V1 Tools open Copper Chests,V2 Tools open Silver Chests, andV3 Tools are the only ones that can open a Gold Chest. Anyone looking to get loot without amatching color key inPalworldcan use a Lockpicking tool by selecting"Lockpick"as an option as they interact with a chest.
Stronger Lockpicking Tools can open the type of containers they correspond to and any chest with a weaker lock. For example, a V3 Lockpicking Tool can open Gold, Silver, and Copper chests due to its strength. No matter what tool you use, youhave to complete a mini-gameby twisting two parts of a lockpick to rotate a chest’s locking mechanism to the right in a clockwise direction.
If the lock doesn’t move, continue to twist the Lockpicking Tool parts until it begins to move once more. Youhave unlimited attempts to pick a chest’s lock, so don’t worry about the Tool being used up during the process. Once you get the strongest available Lockpicking Tool inPalworld, you can use it as often as you want to get rare treasures from even the most secure chests.
