So, we’ve successfully ruined a business partnership in our long list of morally grey (or black) missions for Ryujin Industry. Here’s how to complete Accidents Happen in Starfield.
How to Complete Ryujin Faction Quest Accidents Happen in Starfield
The Accidents Happen Starfield quest comes after the Sowing Discord quest in the Ryujin Industries questline. It is given by Imogene Salzo in the Ryujin Tower right after completing the last one. Your goal is to head to HopeTech to sow some corporate disruption.
We’re slowly proving our worth to Imogene, and to reward us she’s sending us to our least favorite place: HopeTown, the company town run by Ron Hope. Hopetown is on Polvo in the Valo System.
Your job is to head to the company HopeTech. You can use your mission log to find the Accidents Happen Starfield quest, then select the “show on map” setting, and fast-travel to get to this location quickly.
Placing the ARC Device Inside the HopeTech Building
So, our goal here is to not get caught. Andreja and Sophia really shine as companions here, as they both add to your stealth. If you don’t have Sophia yet, she’s actually in Neon and pretty cheap to add to your crew.
Once you’re inside the HopeTech building, we’ll need to get to the factory floor. You’ll be able to reach this area by going through the door behind the receptionist’s desk.
When you’ve made your way into the factory, get about mid-way in. You’ll see the ship where we’ll need to place the ARC Device. Go all the way left, and you’ll see a ramp that leads up towards the ship.
Once you’ve gone up the ramp, you’ll immediately see stairs.
Go up them, and you’ll enter a tight corridor that will lead to the ship. Note, there will be guards inside the ship. Climb up the ladder to get to the Access Point where you’ll need to plant the ARC Device.
Crouch and try to time your interaction with the Access Point so that the guard isn’t looking. Alternatively, wait for him to walk into the cockpit and close the door behind him. This will give you a little time.
Note, if you stand a little too close to the Access Point there’s a chance that the guard will just stand there and look at you. You can get him to start his patrol again by moving away from the Access Point.
Once you’ve successfully interacted with the Access Point and planted the ARC Device, return to Imogene to complete the Accidents Happen Starfield quest. You’ll get 2,500 Credits.
We hope you enjoyed our walkthrough for the Accidents Happen Starfield quest. While you’re in Neon and your morals are already frayed and bent, why not help out a smuggler? In doing so, you’ll unlock a whole new series of quests, and the ability to make Neon’s favorite drug.
