Lockpicking

[StonedCanuck]

lockipicking minigame is trash, and heres why. over half the time you lockpick the spot you need to land the needle will be in the first half or even quarter of the circle. the needle is moving at the speed of light and thers no warning its coming. ive had to do the minigame 3 times on my cleric just to open a chest with a grey windlass crossbow and a pair of white turnshoes inside. and i have to do 15 of them on crypts???? yeah never gonna happen ill just never do that questline. it is now dead content. change this abomination of a game mechanic or ppl will never do that quest, exept for bards and rogues.. which dosent halp my cleric ive been levelling since start of wipe

All of the time I spent in Dead by Daylight paid off a little

It can be pretty tedious and annoying. That's for sure.

some call it a skill check instead of mini-game.. just saying.

Practice makes perfect. I hardly fail now and I feel bringing 3 lockpicks on every run, even in normals, is always worth it.

What helps for me, is to relax and breathe out right when I start lockpicking, visualize the 'QTE' circle beforehand. Reminds me a bit of aiming and taking the shot, where you do the same, on exhaling you pull the trigger.

I agree, i have yet to lockpick anything. idk if its easier on rogues or what but as a barb / fighter every lock pick i have used and probably did like 20 fails
Oh wait, i hit it ONCE and you know what happened it went around a SECOND TIME!!!

Why it's the jump key and not like...left click is a mystery to me.

But I got the hang of it after a while, except for when the damn thing spawns in the first 25% of the circle, my reaction speed is solid but that's too much for me.

Lock picking in real life is easier than the lock picking mini game.

just like real life, it depends on the skill level of the person doing it
