Note that you will need a supply of bobby pins to be able to break through. Upon looking at a locked door or safe that you can potentially unlock, the view will focus on the lock itself, as well as a screwdriver and the bobby pin you are currently using. The actual process of picking locks is apparently the same as the previous Bethesda Fallout games. Therefore, the only way to improve your skills at picking locks is to find one of each of the three perk cards and equip them at the same time. You also can't equip more than one of the same type of card to improve the rank as they need to be the individually named cards. This means that should you get a duplicate of the Picklock card, you can't combine them to make a "Picklock rank 2" card. All three only have one rank, meaning that you'll only be able to equip them rather than upgrade their ranks like many other perk cards. That said, there are a couple of things you should be aware of about using the perk cards. For every card you have equipped, you'll also increase the size of the sweet spot, which will make breaking in a little easier. These are all cards that improve your skill by one and you can equip all three to have a maximum skill level of three. The perk cards you will need are: Picklock, Expert Picklock, and Master Picklock.

In order to upgrade your skills in lockpicking and to break into those secure safes or doors, you'll need each of the three perception perk cards associated with improving your lockpicking abilities which you can find out more in our Fallout 76 perk cards guide.

Therefore they may no longer need their stuff, and that's where lockpicking comes in. It's a sensible security measure for the time, but the sad truth for the region of Appalachia in Fallout 76 is that almost everyone in the world is either dead, an irradiated husk, stuck in a vault, or roaming the countryside and shooting everyone else. Before the bombs dropped, people would like to stash stuff they didn't want others to have access to in safes, or behind locked doors.
