Starfield: Pickpocketing Basics

Pickpocketing

• You must first unlock the Theft skill to be able to pickpocket.

• While sneaking, approach a character and press [E] to look at a character’s Inventory. While looking at their Inventory, press [E] on an item to pickpocket it.

• Looking at a character’s Inventory is not a crime. On the other hand, an unsuccessful pickpocket will result in immediate hostility towards you.

• Your chance of success is displayed on the item you wish to pickpocket, and is shown both by percentage and by color. Colors range from Blue (Very Easy) to Green, Yellow, Red, and Gray (Impossible). You can increase your chances of a successful pickpocket by remaining undetected while doing so.

• Skills from the “Social” category of the Skills menu can increase your chance of success when pickpocketing.
