Picking Locks in Resident Evil Village

As you’re exploring the castle and village in the game, you’ll occasionally come across a few locked drawers that you can’t open with any key items you find in the area. These need to be opened with lockpicks, but it’s worth noting that lockpicks are finite in Resident Evil Village.

If you want to open every locked drawer in the game, you’ll need to get at least eight lockpicks. Once you have one in your inventory, all you need to do is approach a locked drawer, then select the lockpick from your inventory to use it, and you’re good to go.
