BioShock Infinite

Throughout the game, Elizabeth will be required to pick many locks to progress. These are very obvious and will be in the shape of a shiny circular padlock in the middle of a gate. To get her to pick a lock, highlight it and hold . Note that she cannot do this whilst she is talking or the player is in combat.

There are between 20-25 locks that Elizabeth will open naturally in the story with a hairpin, but there are other locks (usually ones hiding Infusions, Gear or large sums of cash) that require a certain number of lockpicks (either 3 or 5) in order to be picked. Lockpicks can be found as regular loot in crates or simply lying around, and can also be bought at vending machines.

Opening safes with lockpicks also counts towards this trophy, but I would recommend leaving them be, as they only ever contain money. It is much more important to save your lockpicks for the padlocked gates which guard collectables, as lockpicks aren’t overly abundant and you don’t want to be left without enough when you need one to open a gate.

This trophy is cumulative across all your playthroughs, so you will certainly get it on your second playthrough if not your first.
