Summary
The galaxy is a dangerous place, and inStarfield, the sentiment has never been more true. There are some essential items inStarfieldthat players will want to make sure stay in their inventory.

Players should always have these key items in their inventory if they are going to survive out there in the cosmos. Some of these items could involve healing players, whereas others involve fighting, and simply breathing out in space and uninhabitable worlds. The choice is the player’s inStarfield, but it’s best to make sure those choices are made with the best items in mind.
6Med Packs
The first item that is nearly essential to players is the trusty Med Pack. This is the standard way of healing inStarfield, and players can find Med Packs from practically allvendors that sellaid, as well as around the galaxy in pharmacy containers. Med Packs will heal players greatly, and carrying a bundle of them is a great idea.
Players can never have too many Med Packs, and consuming them means that their health will regenerate faster and with a boost, ensuring that a fight with an alien creature or a Crimson Fleet armada won’t result in the death of the player.
5Affliction Cures
There are many different afflictions inStarfield, as well as treatments and cures to solve them. Players should head to their nearest pharmacy and medical clinic inStarfieldto purchase some of these items. There is nothing worse than suffering from frostbite, lacerations, or a broken bone. These effects can impact gameplay, and cause players to lose out on their normal stats and bonuses.

Carrying affliction cures is a great idea so that players can continue on their dangerous journey without having to worry about the risk of injury, as they will be able to patch themselves up as good as new, instead of hopping around injured and praying to goback to the safety of New Atlantis.
4Cutter
Thestory of theStarfieldprotagonist beginsas a miner, who gets their pay from cracking minerals on different planets. Due to this origin as a miner, players should always keep a Cutter on hand. It may not be the best weapon inStarfield, but it can be used for a good level of defense and is the only weapon capable of mining minerals, common, rare, exotic, or unique. It’s a trusty tool.
Players should always have a Cutter on hand, as it will be the default item used when players are in their Scanner mode. Cutters are essential for freeing Artifacts from their rocky prisons, so without one, players are going to have a pretty hard time navigating through the story, and lacking the crafting resources to create more power.
3Digipicks
Where there is life, there is loot. Players can find all manners of goodies stashed away behind pesky locked doors where humans live, or used to in these abandoned areas. Players will need to upgrade their Security perk to access harder lockpick areas, but nevertheless, a Digipick is essential to even begin the process of trying to unlock such a room.

There are many areas inStarfieldwhere a Digipick is needed. Although not essential for progression, players are missing out on curiosity and loot if they don’t try and use a Digipick to unlock computers, doors, and loot crates that will see them net a decent reward. Considering Digipicks take up no inventory space, it’s a good idea to carry as many as the player can to lootlike a true space pirate.
2Ammunition
It might sound obvious, but sometimes, an axe or a knife won’t do the trick. All enemies inStarfieldare likely tohave a gun or two,so players should shoot back rather than charging at them with a weapon meant for someone in Tamriel. The future is here, and it’s best to use classic ballistic weapons or laser rifles for maximum impact when dealing with these threats.
To do so, players are going to want ammo, and lots of it. Ammo can be looted off of the corpses of enemies, in ammunition and weapon crates, as well as purchased from vendors. Players will want to ensure they know the ammo type of the gun they are using so they do not buy the wrong ammo, but considering ammunition takes up no mass in the inventory, why not just carry every single bullet?
1Spacesuit
It would be rather silly to decide to ditch a spacesuit inStarfield. Although players have this option, and can instead decide to wear a cowboy hat and a sweater, it’s a bad idea. The environments outside inhabitable planets and cities are hostile. Not only will players be without armor, but they could embark on a planet with harsh elements, andwithout console commands, death is assured.
Players could see themselves dying due to a lack of oxygen supply, or freezing to death due to no insolation in their spacesuit. Players should always have a spacesuit and a helmet, rather than sticking to what is fashionable. It’s better to be alive than dead and pretty.
