Starfield - Don't Make These HUGE Mistakes!

Cutting the emergency door is loud. You can cut it stealthily with melee weapons instead. Doesn't make sense that the emergency door falling somehow doesn't alert the enemies, but that is Bethesda stealth system for you.

That Cutter trick also helps kill weaker enemies if you're low on ammo!!!

Can you cut pins on the doors in the Xbox version? I have played an entire playthrough and I haven’t seen any pins on any doors.

Tips for a better experience from someone with several unmodded playthroughs:
Use mods to allow achievements with mods.
Then when you start out, use console to increase inventory space to be 500 instead of ridonculous standard.
Then give yourself 400 skills points - put 1 point in every skill right off the bat. You can now increase each skill in the tree separately from your leveling experience, by actually using that skill and still level up like normal. This way you can get to try way more of the skills in an organic way, whereas in the standard game you will only be able to try a fraction of the skills given that there are something like 350 skill points to be used, and you are unlikely to ever pass level 100 anyway.

I learned that if you have starship engineering sometimes you can make a derelict ship yours but sadly the name can't be changed

Another quick thing about contraband. If you're trying to fast travel somewhere and land, like the Lodge but the icon is greyed out. It's because you're carrying contraband and need to pass the scan first. So zip over to Wolf and then you can fast travel again - nice little reminder that saved me a couple times.

I just started playing and there is so many Expert locks right away

Thanks, I just bought an Xbox X yesterday so I can play this. I’m already 5 hours in and I wish I would have found this video last night.

Really save often. Im on series x and it crashes on me at least once an hour.

Ive been paying around 10 hours so far and haven't even got to Jenison yet.

Yup I'm the guy always wearing the space suit. I thought that option was to hide my actual spacesuit where I would need to retrieve it before I took back off which I was like "I sent got time for that" so walking around in full gear I what I did 😂

I've only played a few days, but where is this contra band at what songs do they sing, and why are they so hated by the games governments?

Buy a lot of Junk Flush - there are a lot of good ole drugs to take care of deficiencies in skill points. Stealth, O2 recovery, carry weight, persuasion? Who needs skills when you have got a boatload of drugs available? Save your skills for non drug related uses.

step 1 dont buy the game

Ive never felt more stupid playing a game as when I found out I can cut those red doors down lmao you dont know how long I would search for a button to open it just to give up

Most of these were very obvious to me. And many of them were over explained in the video. The biggest change and missed by you is the greatly reduced impact of being over your carry limit. You no longer have you movement impacted by being over weight. As well you can sprint without issue with over 18000kg on you. It will reduce your health to almost nothing, but if you are just dealing with stuff management it's a non-issue. Last with the power personal oxygen or whatever it's called you have ZERO negative effects when running around with that 18000kg when it's active. I am level 64 loot like crazy and have yet to put a point in weight lifting. Thanks for helping the community.

On the note of bounties. If you have a bounty with a major faction and you jump to the opposing factions territory, theres a possibility of a trader ship/galbank ship etc. being associated with the faction you have a bounty with, they will attack you, and if you fight back, you will get every other ship hostile with you

The biggest mistake is playing thus game on Xbox the 1st 6mos is out. Almost ever ast mission in on has glitched to where I can't do anything. Patiently waiting for an update/patch.😂❤

Love his mispronunciation of Alpha Centauri. Al-fa sen-tar-ee

I’ve been mastering skills I want and avoiding one’s that seem to barely affect my PlayStation

You don’t have to use a cutter guns work too

What can I do to get a better deals for guns or space suits?

If you are going to do Stealth missions or steal stuff take off your armor and as much weight as possible you should get far better results.

why dont you just say its a spoiler video, you spoiled more than pointed out mistakes

Starship design 4 completed it only spending 32,999 credits

Early on I think ppl should check the basement of the constellation group faction and there are a couple of storage containers down there I think it's smart to leave a lot of ur resources and wanna keep for possible future research projects down there in those.

Or on Mars!

the red devils have a base that is very similar once going through some of the missions which to start go through the vanguard missions.

Or u.c.

Then they have some storage containers in there too and u can leave ur resources and things there too for future research projects there too .

Also u can sell everything in that room to a guy in there plus take all items off ur ship regularly cuz they reload .

U can take them over and over and sell them to the guy in the red devil base.

Plus all items in constellation base u can take and they aren't stolen so u can sell them too !

These things can help a person early on just get some extra funds for like ammo and weapons and things u'll need to get through missions at 1st.

And I'm just suggesting these things to do before u start an outpost and have storage containers of ur own there.

Cuz once u do that u can just keep all ur stuff at ur own outposts in ur own storages containers .

Thought this could be helpful for ppl that have never played and are starting the game from scratch.

1 thing that took me a min to realize is that ship parts are in ur aid items not misc. Or resources.

No point in installing all the ship modules except to unlock the starship design perk... The ships you build do not come with you into NG+

I'm lvl 22 or something but I never got any contraband, wonder where would I get it 😂

If you're on PC use f5 to quick save rather than going into the main menu. Also holding tab or escape will instantly back you out of the menu rather than going through 4 different pages.

dumb question, how'd you get so much carry weight?

Ughh, wish you woulda put markers for each 10 things. Also you move your mouse like a crackhead, slow down man, tryna see what you are pointing at. You got potential but need to clean things up a bit.

Someone plz help I fucked up got a 386950 bounty for neon and I can’t seem to pay it anywhere!!! I have the money but I keep getting a “unfortunately, local regulations prevent us from offering this service within freestar collective space.” And anytime I get near the police they shoot on sight.

You all didnt avoid the biggest problem. The game itself.

You really DO want to get caught with contraband, in UC space. at least once. Just sayin.

Waiting for vendors, you need to wait 48 UT hours. a day in New Atlantis is 50 UT hours for example, so you only need to wait 24 there. Some places have a 1:100 ratio meaning you only need to wait 1 hour. This is important when waiting 24 hrs local time can take several minutes real time.

vendors restock every 48 hours utc.

You have to be lvl 20 before accessing the Vanguard ship upgrades, but just joining the Vanguard gives you access (after buying it ofc) to a 1400 strength (when FULLY powered @ 12 bars mind you, but even >700 at 6 bars is super sweet!) shield and RAD PARTICAL GUNS too! I always go to B class just as soon as I can (at least by lvl 20) and the upgrades need 0 points in starship design as well so. Any time I can charge that shield baby up to full I am fully INVULNERABLE pretty much!

Telling Sarah to stay at the Lodge was my mistake. I got her after (this is just my THEORY as to what triggered this, a bug where Sara just keeps saying 'ok so are you ready to get going now?' even though she's following you everywhere meaning you can't tell her to stay in the ship or anything, you can't get her to hold stuff, equip items like weapons, grenades or space suites etc.- you CAN'T DRESS HER UP!!-) anyway I told her to join me AFTER getting Emma (a non-companion follower) in the Freestar missions and now whenever talking to Sarah she says you started another follower's quest and must finish that up first... and some sh*z yet Sarah still follows me, and fights with random weapons. I finished the Emma quest, so she (Emma) left me, and Sarah is STILL bugged though.

Anyway DON'T start this specific freestar quest (well, it's the first one...) before getting Sarah... maybe you can if you finish the mission, but I believe it totally borked my game! Every ship I steal tells me it can't grav drive either- I don't know if they're related but this start is plagued with bugs and it all started when I got Sarah back from the Lodge!

Medpaks are the only health item w/o weight, idk if anyone said this already.

While doing the flight simulator to level up your piloting, you can also level up your ship target ability and if you stand up after the first enemy ship spawns you can hack the computer to level up your hacking and enable additional shields and allies for the flight sim

i kinda like wearing a spacesuit on planets because it feels like im a mandolorian

For the best loot security is a useless perk but it’s worth maxing out because all those locked boxes as stuff like ammo money etc. yes even the hardest locks. If you get gear it’s money from selling. Got resources? Got emergency money or what you need to finish that research you need or finish that base building project you have been struggling to finish up

Another trick is using the razoleaf lore, even if you completely rebuild the ship from the ground up the enemies will still recognize it as the razorleaf.

That big chest in the crafting room only appears when someone dies at the very end of the main story. The 3 ammo chests behind the weapon workbench and the little box behind the research bench are all unlimited in the lodge basement.
