Bethesda’s new space epic Starfield, much like its other RPGs, has a variety of ways to play the game. The player-created character can upgrade skills and prioritize certain types of weapons and attachments to suit their preferred playstyle, but there is one way in particular that is particularly efficient, defeating enemies in just one or two hits.
As with Bethesda’s previous RPG series, such as The Elder Scrolls or Fallout, one of these options is to create a character who relies on stealth and subterfuge to achieve their goals. Starfield seems to actively reward such an approach with some perks for sneak attacks that can make them an extremely powerful and deadly opponent for those who cross their paths, taking them down with ease before they even know they’re there.
With melee weapons, this can be particularly difficult depending on the setting, as there is a better chance of being detected in large open areas than in labs and other interiors, so it’s harder to get close enough to the enemy to deliver the finishing blow, and doing so with melee attacks often alerts other enemies to that location. The suppressor attachment is a great way to deliver these sneak attacks from afar without raising much alarm afterward, and depending on where an enemy is targeted; the sneak attack bonus damage can make one shot into a heavy critical attack that neutralizes them in one move.
Suppressors can be acquired in a couple of different ways. The first is the easiest, simply buying or looting a weapon that already has a suppressor or quiet laser attachment modded on. However, with most loot being randomized, one must check most of the enemies they kill to see if they’re fortunate enough to pick a silenced weapon up.
The other option is to mod a weapon manually. This requires more work as plenty of resources are needed to carry out the research and ultimately attach it, and rank two of the Weapon Engineering skill needs to be achieved in order to research the suppressor mod in the first place. For those wanting to play Starfield stealthily, however, it is a worthwhile investment, as this will allow for some of Starfield’s best weapons to be used in a silenced mode as a result.
