Players who want to unlock 100% of each location, earning all the rewards and getting the best possible loot from them, need to carry a bunch of them each time they go into the Metaverse.
This guide will teach players how to get more Lockpicks in P5X, including indications on how to get the crafting materials to make more of them in the Workbench, and the right amount to carry around.

Once players have all these mats with them, they shouldreturn to their Workbenchandcraft the Lockpicksby selecting them in the menu. Keep in mind that more than one Lockpick may be needed each time Wonder goes to explore a certain location, so it is always wise to carry a steady number of them, replenishing each time players navigate the Metaverse. The ideal number is 10, though five is also an acceptable number to carry around. Of course, crafting them has a cost, but there areplenty of ways to get more money in the game.
Action Points can be usedto work at the convenience store, which sometimes rewards players with money and materials. They can use the money to get more crafting materials in the Second Hand Shop.
How to Use Lockpicks in Persona 5 The Phantom X
Once players find alocked chest(often shining in Gold light) and interact with it,a prompt will appearasking them if theywant to use the Lockpick. Using it willconsume the tool, but will guarantee that the chest will open.
Taking into consideration that opening a locked chest costs 1800 Yen (due to the Lockpick material cost), its a nice tradeoff, since locked chests often contain important resources like training materials, reinforcement materials, Konpaku Gems, Meta Jewels, and 4-Star Weapons, which are always to have in great quantities, either for fusion reinforcement, orto have every Phantom Thiefequipped with the best possible weapons.
