If you’re sick of carrying around a bunch of keys around in your pocket in Palworld, one of the things added in the Sakurajima update is certain to please you. Lockpicking Tools come in three varieties, each one better than the last.
How to make Lockpicking Tools in Palworld
Lockpicking Tools are unlocked using Ancient Technology Points, and can be unlocked at the following levels:
| Version | Unlock level | Technology Points |
| Lockpicking Tools v1 | 16 | 1 |
| Lockpicking Tools v2 | 28 | 2 |
| Lockpicking Tools v3 | 51 | 3 |
You must unlock the Lockpicking Tools in order, starting with the first and then moving on sequentially. It’s definitely worth unlocking all of them, because eventually you will be able to simply craft the v3 version, without any need for the previous two versions at all. All three versions of Lockpicking Tools can be crafted at a High Quality Workbench.
Lockpicking Tools v1, unlocked at level 16, will unlock chests which would usually require a Copper Key. They require the following resources to make:
- 10 Ingots
- Made in any furnace using Ore
- 10 Paldium Fragments
- Obtained from mining Paldium rocks, or by putting Stone into a crusher
- 5 Nails
- Made at any workbench using Ingots
Lockpicking Tools v2 will unlock chests which usually require a Copper or Silver key to unlock. The recipe for Lockpicking Tools v2 simply doubles the resources of the previous version:
- 20 Ingots
- 20 Paldium Fragments
- 10 Nails
Finally, Lockpicking Tools v3 will allow you to unlock any chest, regardless of whether a Copper, Silver, or Gold key would usually be required. As such, the resources required to craft them are slightly harder to get:
- 30 Pal Metal Ingots
- Made in an Electric Furnace by combining Ore and Paldium Fragments
- 30 Paldium Fragments
- 20 Nails
All you need to do to use any of the Lockpicking Tools is approach a locked chest and press the interact button. A Lockpicking Tool will be used in place of whichever key you would have needed.
