At the start of your adventure in Starfield, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of possibilities the game offers right from the get-go. Getting off the beaten path, however, isn't easy, as you may end up fighting some powerful enemies that will make short work of you.
If this still isn't enough to stop you from exploring the game's big world, you will want to gear yourself accordingly. There's some really good equipment that can be obtained fairly early during the game that will help you survive the dangers lurking in the deepest reaches of the Milky Way.
How to Get A Good Spacesuit Early on for Free in Starfield
The Mark 1 Spacesuit, Pack, and Space Helmet in Starfield don't come with any special traits, but they all have some decent stats that can outshine much of the gear that can be collected all over the Milky Way. What makes these pieces of equipment especially good, however, is how easily they can be obtained.
The Mark 1 gear is located in The Lodge's basement in New Atlantis, which can be accessed pretty early during the game. After getting access to Constellation's headquarters, enter the basement by going down the stairs to the right of the entrance, and search the rooms towards the end of the location to find one with paintings and a mannequin with the Mark 1 Spacesuit, Helmet, and Pack behind a glass cabinet.
To get these pieces of equipment without tricking the system, you will need to be a master lockpicker. But if you aren't, which is only normal at the start of Starfield, all you need to do to get them is look through the cracks in the cabinet. This isn't very easy to accomplish, as you will need to position yourself to be able to look inside the cabinet, but it can be done with a little finesse. With a controller, this can be tricky, so if you're playing on a PC, switch to mouse controls to have an easier time.
