There’s something fascinating about wandering through Akila City. It has a certain charm as if you’re wandering through Firefly. It’s also home to some of Settled Systems’ most interesting and lucrative side quests. One such quest is a side gig you’ll stumble across randomly in the back alleys of Akila City near the central gate by the starport. Here is how to get Despondent Assassin in Starfield.
Where to Get Despondent Assassin in Starfield
To get Despondent Assassin in Starfield, you must first complete a series of side quests for Davis Wilson, a security personnel in Akila City. These quests include Defensive Measures, False Positives, and Leader of the Pack. By completing all three, you’ll receive Despondent Assassin as a reward, and it’s a nice little Old Earth Hunting Rifle with a few kickass affixes attached.
The only downside to using an Old Earth Hunting Rifle, even a unique variant of one, is tracking down the rather rare ammunition to keep it running in the field!
