A Starfield player recently had an unfortunate experience when they used their last digipick to unlock an expert-level lock, only to discover that the chest contained nothing. Starfield, Bethesda’s latest sci-fi RPG, features a futuristic lock-picking system where players use digipicks to unlock various containers and doors. If players have the required skill points, they can tackle expert-level locks, typically yielding valuable rewards.
Reddit user Mr_Stimmers shared a clip on the Starfield subreddit showcasing their efforts to unlock a weapon case with an expert-level lock. They successfully picked the lock but found the case empty upon opening it, with only 15 XP as their reward. Other players chimed in, sharing their experiences of picking expert locks and finding nothing inside. Whether this is an intentional design choice by Bethesda or a bug remains uncertain, but it has not been well-received by the player community.
Bethesda plans to support Starfield with ongoing updates, addressing bugs and potentially implementing quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback. While the game will receive continued support, there’s no guarantee that this specific issue with empty chests behind expert locks will be addressed in future updates, so players should stay vigilant.
