Starfield, like other action-packed RPGs, comes with its own loot mechanics. However, getting to those credits isn’t as easy as opening a box, as there is a fair bit of tinkering required. The game gives the player digipicks to finesse through the various locks across the variousstar systems and planets in Starfield.
