  • How to unlock Quickly Pick a Lucky Lock

    The term 'Lucky Lock' refers to any lock you find throughout the game that can be picked with Garret's tools. To obtain this achievement, you have to complete the pick right in under five seconds. A good trick to utilize is to find a lock, perform a quick save, then attempt the pick. Take note of the positions each spring is located at, for example, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock. After you've memorized the springs' locations, reload your save and quickly pick the lock again. If you do it quick enough, you will unlock the achievement.

Now try to pick the lock and remember the correct combination. Before unlocking the third pin, reload your save game. You'll be back in front of the door and just need to enter the same combination as before. Do this in under 3 seconds and the achievement should unlock. If you fail, you can reload your save game every time.
  • This seems to be glitched for me, cause I've literally tried for like a hour straight, and I know for a fact I did it faster then 3 seconds. Pretty annoying I must say. Microsoft really needs to fix these issues with achievements unlocking, cause this is like the 4th or 5th game already which had issues with unlocking achievements. I know it wasn't like this when the 360 first came out.
  • Hey Guys follow this guide and you'll get it no problem! http://youtu.be/7RX2J0DvT4c
  • @ Yourburnstar, I feel your pain.... I just discovered 5 Achievements in COD Ghosts that didn't unlock for me, 3 of which were for simply completing a level.... Just started paying Thief, hoping I don't have many problems unlocking them here too.
  • Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I used the aforementioned strategy but I also used the focus ability just as I went to pick the lock itself. I saw a game popup that said something along the lines of "Focus let's you pick locks in less time" so tried that and got the achievement in one go.

  • I would just like to point out for anyone still having trouble with this achievement (Granted a year later, i got to this game late okay) that YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO POP THE ACHIEVEMENT AFTER. A couple of the videos posted explained that and it might in some text somewhere but i missed that fact and tried forever, simply reloading everytime it didnt pop. Never freakin occurred to me to even try opening the door after each time =_=
