The Best Start in Starfield on PS5 | Ultimate 2026 Starter Guide

Important Notes:
1.They patched the re-rolling of the Mantis armor legendary effects a while back. Might be all armor is like that now, not sure.
2. When selling to items to Trade Authority - Items are available for purchase once you sell them without exiting the NPC and re entering. If you exit the vendor and return your items are 4x
3) "5:50 The legendary enemy modifiers in settings aren't affecting the rng of appearances, but rather it allows you to set what level you want them to start appearing at, or outright disable them. Therefore, you take a hit to xp gains for setting them to higher levels. Normally you won't see those modifiers until level 20, but settling those to 0 so that you'll get them right away is a no-brainer for a permanent 12% increase to xp."



Tips from comments

A tip for boarding and stealing ships, emp weapons, as far as I'm aware I think all are limited to 800 range which is awful, but they can be used to disable enemy ships systems with no risk of destroying the ships. Boarding enemies ships is significantly more profitable than almost anything else due to all the loot and a lot of them will have contraband if you look through the ship carefully. If your pilot skill is high enough you can probably steal the ship too.
One last tip, when you get in the enemy ships pilot seat, you go to the pause menu, on the bottom left in the ships section you click to make the new ship your home, when you back out of the menu your old ship will undock and start flying away, if you're quick you can select it, and dock.. then you can go back to your ship. The new stolen one will be stored.

You left off the best early game trick. If a weapon is laying loose, like the old earth hunting rifle at uc surpluss in the well, if you save, take it, the right away reload that save the weapon reappears as Advanced.
UC surplus old hunting rifle
Centurain Arsenal Bridger in the middle case (look a little left not directly at it and you will see the take icon come up)
Gun store in front of Hopetech, razorback pistol in glass (look around it until take icon comes up)
Same store, 2 magshear weapons on the shelves on the right side wall
Again, save, take, reload, and they become advanced

32:30 what magical item heaven is that location on Enlil 2? 🤩

Later in the game, legendary isn’t necessarily better quality.

Stealing ships has one drawback in my view. Each ship that is hijacked, and when you return to your main ship, all the useless items get consolidated with you when you change ships so you have to eject dozens of cups and plates and plates… and if the ship you hijack has less cargo space you can’t move your loot to the ship and have to drop it or carry it until you change ships.

Yes, build a bounty clearance station on the ship. Also, when you get back from a mission or raid and your pockets are full, you don’t need to board the ship, just stand outside and go to character and go to ship, and then cargo, and then push all your loot into the ship cargo. Don’t need to board ship at all.

And, for cashflow just pick up all the zero weight ammo that we don’t use, sell it everywhere. Easy money.

For customisation of my ships, I put turret weapons at top and back. So that during combat I’m always shooting back. I configure, one long range (3,000) weapon like missile to start engaging early, a cluster of medium range (1500) straight ahead, and short to medium high damage short to medium range turrets (0-1500) with one or two out back.

Oh! I saw that! For some reason my ship started going transparent when I use the speed burst, and then back to opaque when normal. Is that a bug?
Once I got some stealth armour, stealth skill, and the armour perk that creates a digital clone in combat the gameplay changes.

PS5 user: just like all Bethesda games, looks great, great storyline and attention to details...
And a monumental piece of sh×t plagued with glitches and some missio s completely broken on ps5. It's like trying to play fallout after their 10th anniversary update....

Hows starfuked now on ps5?

I cheese the puzzle room. You can pick off the turrets from just outside the door.

I bought Starfield last week (PS5)!!!!! I can use all the pointers I can get!!!!! ❤

i love being able to change settings to store stuff in the ship's cargo from anywhere.

I got a glitch on ps5 where the shop owners don’t come back to there shop so I was able to clean out the gun shop

just use the scanner und press fire to get to the cutter

I tried to sell items to trade authority. I wonder if they patched this? I tried to sell the items and buy it back but the items are not able to purchase.

Loving the game but it is so broken on PS It just keeps crashing sometimes it crashes right on the main manual it's been so hard to play honestly it's Sony wasn't so selfish I would ask for a refund until it's fixed. Also FYI you can get rid of the stolen icon if you take it to a weapon workbench and just put any mod on it anything at all It gets rid of the icon

Security skill? Except that; I agree. Only reason for security is to be able to unlock higher level locks for attacking enemies from angles they haven't "thought of"; locked lootchests and rooms are 99/100 times filled with useless junk.

I think the only annoying thing is getting the weapon and armour upgrade requirements
So much adhesive and some super rare items which I believe can't be crafted unless you full investment in the science perks which also needs materials

Sell your contraband at the Den in Wolf System or Red Mile in Porima System; you should have bought a scan jammer and shielded cargo at the red mile before or after you left Denebola, that alone would've allowed you to land in new Atlantis with a higher chance of evading the scan. Computer terminal to the far roght before the puzzle for extra an extra lock to pick, but makes puzzle redundant.

I just jumped the puzzle letters and opened the gate did I miss something or am I good?

Love this game so far getting back into it is great thanks for this great video

I didnt get the secret outpost tablet and I forgot to save before coming into the area 😫 where is the next best location for finding spacer enemies?
