Five tips to complete Starfield’s gameplay like a pro

Starfield is shaping up to be a massive win for Bethesda. With so many players engaged in the game, here are few tips to help effectively complete the game. 

1. Bethesda has offered five free spaceships for players, which can be accessed as rewards by completing various quests. Additionally, players can steal spaceships by engaging in combat.
2. While contraband smuggling is an important part of Starfield’s gameplay, at times it can be quite difficult to do so. Players need to identify yellow-marked contraband items and use the shielded cargos to hide them.
3. Spaceships can further be developed or upgraded in the game according to the player’s need. Upgrading the spaceships might bring more storage capacity and fuel efficiency.
4. Additionally, players can hire employees to perform various activities like building outposts and managing the performance of the ship.
5. Many players spoke about the game cheats in Starfield. However, to apply those, players need to use console commands. Despite appearing useful in the gameplay at times, these cheats can also disable various in-game achievements.

Having become Bethesda’s biggest launch, it will be interesting to see how far the game can go, and what more the game may achieve. Will it win this year’s GOTY?
