Learn how to pick locks in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Master the mini-game for silent entry into locked areas.

When encountering locked doors, you can either break the lock or play the lock-picking mini-game for silent entry. Lock-picking is easier and quieter than breaking the lock.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A close-up of the lock mechanism appears on screen, showing the pins you need to set.
  2. 2
    Move the left analog stick in a circular motion until a pin begins to move, indicated by onscreen movement and a small clicking sound.
  3. 3
    Continue moving the analog stick in the direction that caused the clicking.
  4. 4
    If you stay in the correct area long enough, the pin will lock into place, and you will move to the next pin.
  5. 5
    Repeat this process for each pin until the lock is picked.

There is a special lock-picking occasion that will be explained fully in the walkthrough to avoid spoiling the plot.

Tips
  • Lock-picking is a quieter alternative to breaking locks.
  • Successfully picking locks allows for silent entry.
