If the player decides to side with UC SysDef, Starfield‘s Crimson Fleet quest line comes down to one crucial moment, where one may choose either to kill or persuade the pirate leader Delgado. As the captain of the Crimson Fleet, Delgado has been the protagonist’s first point of contact with the pirate legion since the very beginning of their business relationship. This is intertwined with another faction quest line: that of the United Colonies. Players must infiltrate the Crimson Fleet during SysDef’s quest line, reporting back to the interstellar trade regulator with knowledge of the pirates’ activities and ultimate goals.
But there’s one catch. The Crimson Fleet is after Kryx’s Legacy, a treasure left behind by the faction’s founder. Once the player character finally finds it, they have a choice to make in the quest “Legacy’s End”: side with SysDef or the Crimson Fleet by bringing the data either to Delgado, or to UC Commander Ikande. Whomever the player sides with, they’ll have to attack and destroy the other’s base, putting an end to that faction for good. They’ll come face-to-face with the leader of the faction they attack, who’ll threaten to activate their base’s self-destruct function. They can either talk them down or kill them outright.
Assuming they side with Ikande and SysDef, the player character will come face-to-face with Delgado in the end, at which point they’ll have to choose between killing him or persuading him to surrender. The character may have to fight Delgado during “Legacy’s End” if they choose any threatening dialogue options, or if they attempt to make him surrender but fail.
Delgado is far from the easiest opponent, with a decent suit of armor and the unique Tempest rifle, but he’s not the hardest, either. He doesn’t have any special Starborn powers like the player character or Starfield’s final boss, though. He’s just a normal human being with an abnormal amount of combat experience, but he goes down relatively easily in the end. Players should use everything at their disposal against Delgado since once they’ve chosen this option, there’s no going back. Weapons, explosives, and Starborn powers are at their disposal, and all of the above should be used to burn Delgado down as quickly as possible.
Don’t forget to check his inventory, as fighting Delgado is the only way to gain his computer password, which allows them to free kidnapped accountant Shinya Voss. Delgado also carried a unique rifle called Tempest. With 19 base physical damage and a fire rate of 90, Tempest hits hard and fast. It also has the special ability Handloading, which provides extra damage but sometimes causes rounds to fail at random. That makes the Tempest something of a gamble; it can hurt, but it doesn’t always hit its target. However, its relatively high accuracy for an automatic rifle should offset the issue enough to make it viable in combat.
