How Does The Lockpicking In ESO Work?

How does the lockpicking in ESO work?

Players trying to pick locks in The Elder Scrolls Online will see a set of tumblers. Using lockpicks that they can carry in their backpack, they need to force the tumblers down into the correct position in order to open the lock.

  • PC/Mac players should position the lockpick over a tumbler and then click and hold one of the mouse buttons to move it
    • Xbox players can navigate over a tumbler using [Left Stick] and hold [RT] to move it.
    • PlayStation players can navigate over a tumbler using [Left Stick] and hold [R2] to move it.
  • Players should then release the tumbler when it reaches the right position in the lock.

Pay close attention, as the game will give visual and audio hints as to where the right position for each tumbler is. Players will also have to race against the clock to open the lock in a certain amount of time, and there is also always the chance that the surroundings may be hostile. For a quick glimpse at lockpicking watch the "Gathering and Exploration" video at 1:10 min.
