Summary
An unfortunateStarfieldplayer used up their last digipick on an expert-level lock, only to find that there was nothing inside. Bethesda games have featured lock picking systems for decades, with each new game from the company offering a new take on the concept.Starfieldfollows in the footsteps of Bethesda’s previous gamesby featuring a lock picking system of its own, but with a futuristic twists that fits the game’s sci-fi setting.
InStarfield, players are able to unlock chests, doors, and more using special digipick devices.Starfielddigipicksinitiate a short mini-game that players have to complete in order to successfully pick locks. If players have skill points invested in the correct areas, they can pick expert-level locks inStarfield, typically for greater rewards.
Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, as was discovered by Reddit user Mr_Stimmers. They recently shared a clip on theStarfieldReddit showing their attempt to open a weapon case with an expert-level lock. They succeeded in picking the lock, but when the case opened, there was nothing inside. All Mr_Stimmers got for their last digipick was a measly 15 XP, which is nothing in the grand scheme of things. It’s unclear if Bethesda deliberately made some cases with expert locks empty on purpose, but this is not even the first time that this has happened.
Users commenting on the post spoke of their own experiences with this bad luck.OtherStarfieldplayers have shared their own clipsof successfully picking expert locks only to find nothing inside. If this is a deliberate choice by Bethesda, it’s not a popular one, and if this is happening due to a bug, it’s safe to say that many fans would like to see it fixed. Bethesda hasn’t detailed what’s coming in the nextStarfieldupdate, but fans can rest assured that more updates are on the way for the massive open world sci-fi game.
Bethesda plans on supportingStarfieldfor the long haul, which means fans can expect more updates for the game for years to come. These updates will continue squashing bugs in the game as they are discovered, though it remains to be seen if they will implement any additional quality of life features or make more substantial changes based on fan feedback. But even thoughStarfieldwill undoubtedly get additional updates, that doesn’t mean that any of them will address this issue with expert-level locks leading to empty chests, so fans should keep that in mind.
Starfieldis out now for PC and Xbox Series X.
