Lockpicks are one of the most essential Infiltration Tools in Persona 5: The Phantom X, and players will need them from the first time they delve into a Palace, so ignoring them is not an option. Players who want to unlock 100% of each location, earning all the rewards and getting the best possible loot from them, need to carry a bunch of them each time they go into the Metaverse.
Persona 5 Phantom X Platinum Milicoins Explained
Platinum Milicoins are one of the most useful currencies in Persona 5 The Phantom X, and here's how to get more and use them.
This guide will teach players how to get more Lockpicks in P5X, including indications on how to get the crafting materials to make more of them in the Workbench, and the right amount to carry around.
How To Craft Lockpicks In Persona 5 The Phantom X
To craft Lockpicks in Persona 5: The Phantom X, players will need to get three different types of materials, which can be found in the Second Hand Shop:
- Aluminum Sheet x1 (Costs 100 Yen)
- Moissanite x1 (Costs 1200 Yen)
- Mercury x1 (Costs 500 Yen)
Once players have all these mats with them, they should return to their Workbench and craft the Lockpicks by selecting them in the menu. Keep in mind that more than one Lockpick may be needed each time Wonder goes to explore a certain location, so it is always wise to carry a steady number of them, replenishing each time players navigate the Metaverse. The ideal number is 10, though five is also an acceptable number to carry around. Of course, crafting them has a cost, but there are plenty of ways to get more money in the game.
Action Points can be used to work at the convenience store, which sometimes rewards players with money and materials. They can use the money to get more crafting materials in the Second Hand Shop.
How to Use Lockpicks in Persona 5 The Phantom X
Once players find a locked chest (often shining in Gold light) and interact with it, a prompt will appear asking them if they want to use the Lockpick. Using it will consume the tool, but will guarantee that the chest will open.
Taking into consideration that opening a locked chest costs 1800 Yen (due to the Lockpick material cost), its a nice tradeoff, since locked chests often contain important resources like training materials, reinforcement materials, Konpaku Gems, Meta Jewels, and 4-Star Weapons, which are always to have in great quantities, either for fusion reinforcement, or to have every Phantom Thief equipped with the best possible weapons.
