How to Open Locked Drawers in Resident Evil 7
Resident Evil 7, released in 2017, is a popular survival horror game developed by Capcom. It provides players with an immersive experience, using exploration and combat to overcome challenges and reach the game’s final objectives. One challenge that many players face is opening locked drawers, which contain useful items and keys to progress. In this article, we will guide you through the process of opening these locked drawers using the in-game Lockpick.
Why Do You Need the Lockpick?
The Lockpick is a tool that allows you to unlock simple locks, providing access to previously inaccessible areas and locked drawers. As you progress through the game, you will need to use the Lockpick to gain access to essential resources, such as healing items, ammo, and keys.
Finding the Lockpick
Two Lockpicks can be found by playing the "Derelict House Footage" in the game. The first Lockpick is located on the floor behind the microwave, and the second can be found on the radiator near the stairs in the basement.
Using the Lockpick to Open Locked Drawers
Now that you have the Lockpick, use it to unlock simple locks to access locked drawers. Here’s a step-by-step process:
• Find locked drawers: Keep an eye out for cabinets, dressers, and bookshelves that are locked. Check for faint outlines or rusty locks that indicate they are locked.
• Use the Lockpick: From your inventory, select the Lockpick. Approach the locked drawer and interact with it to initiate the lock-picking mechanism.
• Interact with the locked drawer: Choose the Lockpick prompt to continue the process. The player will need to move the Lockpick from side to side, using the controller analog stick or the directional pad, until the lock clicks open.
Tips for Lock-Picking
Here are some tips to keep in mind when trying to open locked drawers:
The Lockpick is a One-Timer: Each Lockpick can only be used once, and you will not be able to access the same drawer twice without finding and using a new Lockpick.
Make sure you have the correct resources and items needed to progress before committing to a difficult lock-picking attempt. Stay patient, and don’t be discouraged if you need to try multiple times.
