Lockpicking is one of the earliest skills you will pick up in Mafia The Old Country. During the prologue, towards the beginning of your adventure with Enzo, there will be a time when you will need to exit the underground mines by looking for a way out. Now Enzo, during his mini quest to locate food, will reach a warehouse where he stumbles upon a knife on a table.,

Use the prompted button to carry this knife, after which the side objective ‘Use the knife to break the lock’ begins. Now, approach the locked door with the knife in hand. Hold the prompted button, and Enzo will use the knife to unlock the door. You can use this same method to later unlock chests.
