10 Essential Tips to Prepare for the Shattered Space DLC in Starfield

Have you heard about the new Shattered Space DLC for Starfield? Exciting stuff, right? If you’re diving back into the game, I’ve got ten important tips that will help you kick off your journey without any hiccups. Let’s jump right in!

10 Essential Tips to Prepare for the Shattered Space DLC in Starfield

Getting Started

  • If you’re new to the game, you’ll need to complete the “One Small Step” mission first.
  • Afterward, head to a system that’s not occupied or tied to any current missions.
  • You’ll get a distress call and encounter the Oracle, a massive space station. Dock and start your mission there.

Level Up Before the Big Fight

  • The new DLC is tough. It’s recommended for players level 35+.
  • If you’re below level 30, consider turning down the enemy damage output for an easier time.

Difficulty Tweaks

  • Increase enemy damage for a challenge, but avoid bullet-spongy foes.
  • Adjust damage to find a balance. I usually tweak my settings for a more fun experience, but your preference might differ.

Must-Have Weapon

  • Complete “The Golden Path” to access a secret area in the middle of the map.
  • In that spot, you’ll find Speaker’s Judgment, a laser rifle with low recoil and high accuracy. Think of it like a BB gun, but deadlier.

Fast Travel with the Rev-8

  • Buy the Rev-8 vehicle for 25,000 credits. It makes exploring the huge maps quicker.
  • Boost over obstacles, slow down time when aiming, and explore from your vehicle. It’s like riding a bike with a turbo engine.

Choose Your Title Wisely

  • In the mission “The Promised,” you’ll place effigies on altars. The combination you pick determines your title in the game.
  • Choose carefully unless you want to be stuck with a title you don’t like.

Bring a Crew Member Along

  • Andreja adds flavor and tactical advantages to missions.
  • Equip her with a minigun, give her just one bullet, and watch her clear rooms effortlessly.

New Crew Member

  • Continue the main quest to meet a new character who can join your crew.
  • He’s not the most skilled, but he has a great voice and brings something fresh to the team.

New Craftables

  • Collect Vortex shards from new enemies and use them to craft unique grenades.
  • Craft new Outpost Habs and experiment with explosives like Binding Grenades to freeze enemies or the unstable one for unpredictable effects.

Quick Side Mission for Rewards

  • At the city entrance, help a man arguing with a guard. He’ll lead you to a quick mission with high rewards.
  • I got two legendary items and a pile of credits for clearing out some zealots.

So, there you have it! These tips will prepare you for the wild ride in Shattered Space. I’m curious about your experiences in the game. What are your thoughts? And while we’re at it, what’s next for Bethesda? I’m hoping for more ship parts!
