One of the best things about Sea of Thieves is the lurking spectre of danger in every encounter: Is that rapidly-approaching brigantine looking to team up, or looking for a fight? But not everyone cares for my particular brand of «excitement,» and for those folks developer Rare is adding a new game mode called Safer Seas that will enable players to sail the high seas alone or with a chosen group of friends.
Starfield bug means you can just take this entire store's inventory without any skill or repercussions
13.09.2023 - 10:59 / pcgamer.com / Can / You Can
Starfield has plenty of ways to make money. You can complete quests and be rewarded for your efforts. You can trade valuable items you find, or rare minerals that you mine. You can even sneak into places and, when nobody is looking, steal an expensive ornament.
However, why bother doing any of that when you can just stroll up Akila City's high street and, out of a muddy puddle in the ground, loot the entire inventory of one of the city's biggest vendors without any skill or repercussions? Oh, and if that wasn't good enough, you can then simply wait 24 hours and do it all again.
It sounds too good to be true, but as the video I've made right here shows, it is true and the quickest path to ludicrous, game-breaking profit currently available in Starfield.
This latest Starfield whoopsie from Bethesda was spotted by eagle-eyed gamer Jamie Moran, who then posted his findings to Twitter.
To exploit the bug, gamers need to head to Akila City on the planet Akila in the Cheyenne system. From there, head in through the main gates from the starport and, on the left, you'll see the merchant Shepherd's.
Head towards Shepherd's and then look for a series of puddles just in front of the store in the middle of the road. When standing in front of Shepherd's, with your back to the store entrance, the puddles are north-west.
Next, move over to the puddles while crouched and in a third-person view and, standing before the puddles while looking back at Shepherd's, slowly move your cursor around the puddles until, suddenly, an inventory menu will pop-up on screen.
This is the inventory of Shepherd's, the nearby store, and as soon as the inventory menu is shown you can just crouch right there, in the middle of the street, and take every last item in it without any consequences.
From that point you can then sell everything you've taken, even back to the oblivious owner of Shepherd's himself, making bank. Wait 24 hours and you can repeat the trick, too, and then again and again ad infinitum. Do this just a few times and you'll be swimming in cash in Starfield.
As to how this is all possible, after talking to fellow PC Gamer staffer Harvey Randall, he postulated that it was probably because the store's inventory was being held in some sort of storage container, as if you try to pick-pocket the store owner he has none of his store's inventory on him.
A quick bit of no-clip sleuthing on my part confirmed that Harvey's theory was indeed fact, with Bethesda having placed a supposed-to-be-invisible storage container for Shepherd's inventory underneath Akila City's main road. Unfortunately, the big B placed the storage container too close to the surface of the road, and now it can be accessed directly through this muddy puddle.

PSA: You can legally knock out and kill NPCs with boxes in Starfield
There are a ton of things for you to do in Starfield, most of which don’t have much to do with the story. In the spirit of creating your adventure, Bethesda Softworks has made the game as immersive as possible, and this by letting you do most things you can think of…well most things. Much like Skyrim or even the older Morrowind, you can do some whacky and downright funny things such as putting a bucket on an NPC. However, the following is a little more intense and more brutal. The best part is that you might not get in trouble for it. The following PSA is that there is a way to knock out and kill NPCs in Starfield with a box — legally speaking. If you want to know how to do such a thing, follow along.

You can mine ore twice as fast in Starfield just by holding one button, and yes I just realized this 40 hours in
I'm 40 hours into my Starfield playthrough and only now realizing there's an easy way to mine ore faster. No, I'm not talking about letting Outposts do the mining for you, I'm talking about good ol' fashioned laser cutting. Did you know the laser cutter has a secondary fire? I didn't know that, but I sure wish I did a week ago!

Yes, you can spacewalk in Starfield, and yes, I am trying to build an asteroid outpost
Being a dedicated spacer I've never had much interest in the base construction aspect of Starfield, but that was before I learned that you can spacewalk by means of console commands, aka cheats. Reddit user WeirdConcern4666 made history on this front yesterday. Here's how you do it: 1) get up from the cockpit controls, 2) hit the tilde key to open the command console at the bottom of the screen, 3) type "player.setpos x 10" to teleport your character outside the ship, then hit return and 4) type "setgravityscale 0" to engage zero gravity and stop your character plummeting endlessly. Then hit the tilde key again to close the command console, and well, there you go.

Heck yeah, this Starfield mod lets you craft your own ammo
I haven't done a whole lot of crafting in Starfield simply because I haven't needed to. Bethesda's space RPG throws a steady supply of enemies at you and those enemies drop tons of weapons and gear, most of it already fitted with useful attachments. I've found very few excuses to spend time at my crafting bench upgrading my weapons at all.
