Starfield is a massive game with lots of systems and a massive amount of area to cover. I thought it would be nice to share useful information as a community. So what is your secret best spot to find medpacks? What skill was more useful than you thought? What thing did you not learn about until you were 15 hours in, that you wished you learned a lot sooner?
If you tend to become over-encumbered, and you’re currently playing on mouse and keyboard, consider trying out a controller. There is a “jogging” speed that is not quite as fast as running, but much faster than walking, which can’t be accessed using keyboard controls, and it allows O2 regeneration while encumbered. It’s also my preferred speed for navigating cramped indoor areas without running into things.
(To jog, simply tilt the left stick about 3/4 of the way to the edge instead of all the way.)
If you don’t have access to a controller, I found that ADSing on Mon-scoped weapons let’s you move faster than walking without burning oxygen.
