Spacesuits in weapons will allow you to survive longer in battles and more easily survive extreme conditions on planets.
In the guide, we'll tell you about the top spacesuits in Starfield, provide a list of good armor sets, and show you how to modify the armor.
Characteristics of spacesuits in Starfield
All types of spacesuits in Starfield have two types of characteristics:
- Damage reduction (first major row).
- Environmental resistance (second small row).
Damage reduction reduces the character's damage taken from the following types:
- PHY [PHYS] – reduces physical damage received, which is the most common in the game.
- ENRG [ENGY] – reduces energy damage received. This indicator becomes useful towards the mid-to-late game, when opponents switch to energy weapons.
- EM [EM] – reduces received electromagnetic damage. This indicator also increases resistance to stun from this type of damage.
Resistance to environmental influences is another indicator that affects the ability to survive certain climatic disasters. Using these characteristics of the spacesuit, it will be possible to avoid receiving status violations or damage from conditions planets, alien creatures and even the effects of enemy weapons. These indicators are as follows:
- Thermal [Thermal] – protects against extreme cold or heat, as well as resulting burns and frostbite.
- Air [Airborne] – protects against air pollution, infection and poison.
- Corrosive [Corrosive] – increases resistance to acidic and corrosive environments, as well as the corresponding type of damage from enemies.
- Radiation [Radiation] – protects against extreme radiation from stars and other radioactive sources.
Quality of spacesuits and helmets
The quality of spacesuits and helmets works similarly weapon rarity. Quality directly affects random modifier buffs. The higher the rarity, the more bonus effects the suit will receive. There are 4 rarities:
- Normal (gray) – this armor has no modifiers.
- Rare (turquoise) – this costume has one modifier.
- Epic (purple) – armor has two modifiers.
- Legendary (gold) – the set has three modifiers.
The higher the quality of a spacesuit or helmet, the harder it will be to find it: ordinary and rare equipment can be removed from corpses, legendary and epic equipment can drop from high-level opponents from time to time, but can often be obtained only during quests or boss battles.
Where to buy a spacesuit in Starfield
You can find a spacesuit from some merchants, but there are not very many such stores:
- UC Surplus in New Atlantis, in the Well area.
- Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis, in the Commercial district.
- Outland in New Atlantis, in the Commercial district.
- UC Distribution Center in New Atlantis, in the Commercial district.
- Sieghart's Outfitters on Neon, in the Core [The Core].

Where to get legendary spacesuits
Legendary spacesuits in Starfield can only be obtained in two ways:
- Complete a certain quest or fulfill another condition, for which you can receive a unique suit with high protection rates.
- Use the appropriate codes for spacesuits.
If you don’t want to complete quests, but want to get the costume here and now, you can use cheats. Open the console to “~”, then enter one of the ids of the legendary spacesuits:
- 00065925 – Incendiary Experimental Nishina Spacesuit.
- 0007B2B9 – Sentinel's UC Antixeno Spacesuit.
In addition to the two above-mentioned spacesuits, there are two more legendary ones:
- Spacesuit Mantis.
- Born Stellar's Astra suit.
Unlike the first two, they cannot be obtained through the console. When you try to issue it, you will receive the most ordinary suit, without the buffs that make these sets so strong. Also, do not forget that when using cheats, you lose the opportunity to obtain achievements. This developer solution can be successfully circumvented using installation of third-party modifications.
Where to sell a spacesuit
You can sell a spacesuit in any store in a large city. Also, any of the stores would be a good place to sell Department of Commerce [The Trade Authority], where they also buy stolen or smuggled goods. If you want to make the maximum profit, head to the base of the Crimson Fleet, to The Key station.

- On the ship by adding the appropriate module.
- On the outpost, creating the desired building.
You can change the suit using various modifications that are placed in the slots.
