How to install a suppressor weapon mod to a weapon inStarfield
The easiest way to get a suppressed weapon inStarfieldis tofind one on a dead body. I’ve found a handful of weapons with silencers on them just from looting bodies after a fight. The only downside is you’re stuck with that weapon instead of being about to put a suppressor on any weapon you want.
However, if you want to attach a suppressor to any weapon inStarfieldthere arethree things you need. One, you need a weapon workbench. Two, you need to finish the Muzzle Mods 2 research. Three, you need the right materials to make the suppressor.
You can only equip a suppressor onto a Ballistic weapon.Laser weapons can get the stealth lasers modwhich requires one Zero Wire, three Tantalum, two Titanum, and three Caesium.
Where to find a weapon workbench inStarfield
The only way to equip a silencer onto your weapons is through a weapon workbench. Once you’ve found a weapon workbench, you’ll find the suppressor optionin the muzzle mod slot sectionof any gun.
To easily find a weapon workbench, you canconvert one of your living quarters on your ship into a weapons hubthat features a weapon workbench. You can also create an outpost on a moon or planet andput a weapons workbench there.
If you don’t want to do either of those things, you may easily find a weapon workbenchat any arms dealership in any major city. First, you need to findwhere each major city is locatedand where the weapons shop is, but once inside, you can freely use the weapons workbench.
How to complete Muzzle Mods 2 research inStarfield
To complete the Muzzle Mods 2 research that’s required to craft a suppressor inStarfield, you need tofind and use a research lab. Just like the weapons workbench, research labs can be found by turning one of your living quarters into a science hub. You can also find research labs at any medical center in any major city.
To complete Muzzle Mods 2, you need to firstcomplete Muzzle Mods 1. To complete Muzzle Mods 1, you needthe Weapon Engineering skill at rank one, which is on the second tier of the Science skill tree, andfive Titanium, 10 Tungsten, and five Sealant.
Once you’ve researched Muzzle Mods 1,you may need to rank up Weapon Engineeringand you’ll likely needmore of the same materials and maybe a few others tooto complete the Muzzle Mods 2 research.
What materials do you need to create a suppressor inStarfield
To equip a suppressor to any weapon inStarfield, you needtwo Tungsten, three Tantalum, and two Polymer. To make a short suppressor, you need less Tungsten and Tantalum and two Sealant.
We have a guide to help youfind Sealant, but for Tungsten, you canmine that resource on many planets and moonsand Tantalum, while more rare, is also found via mining planets and moons. Be sure to scan a planet before you land to see if it has the minerals you need.
