Starfield is already a huge game, but it can be made ever so slightly bigger with the game’s preorder and Premium Edition bonuses. If you bought a version of the game that grants you these additions, that’s cool, but it may not be obvious where you find those things. In this guide, we’ll show you how to claim your bonus skins, including the Old Mars, Deep Mining, and Constellation skin packs.
Where to find Starfield preorder and Premium Edition items
The full list of Starfield preorder and Premium Edition bonuses includes stuff like future DLC, a digital soundtrack, and more, but that stuff is more easily understood. What might trip you up is locating the bonus in-game skins you’ve been granted. For those, here’s what you need to do:
Play through the campaign until you get to a location called The Lodge.When you’re able to, head into the basement (down the hall to the right of the front door of The Lodge).In the basement’s first room, you’ll find a number of workbenches for crafting various objects.You’re looking for weapon and spacesuit skins, so you’ll find your bonus items available as options for particular items when using the weapon and spacesuit workbenches.
In the weapon workbench, you’ll have an Old Mars skin for your laser cutter mining tool. Meanwhile, you’ll find the Deep Mining skin set for your starter boost pack and helmet. You may soon move away from this spacesuit–there are dozens in the game, each with their own features–but you can find better versions of the mining spacesuit later, too, if you wish to keep using this cosmetic skin.
If you also paid for the Premium Edition, you’ll be granted five days of early access, have already preordered the first expansion, and you have an additional in-game cosmetic set to snag. That would be the Constellation set, which you can apply to certain spacesuits boost packs, and helmets such as those which you receive from Sarah and the Constellation gang shortly after arriving at The Lodge. It also applies to the Equinox, an abundantly available laser rifle in the game. Using any applicable spacesuit or Equinox weapon, just head to the corresponding workbench and apply it under the “skin” section of the item’s upgrade menu.
The nice thing about these bonus skins is, unlike anything else you’ll make at a workbench, they require no materials to craft them. Even if your pockets were totally empty, you could apply these alternate styles.
