How to Get Head Ranger in Starfield

Would you like to become the head ranger?

I’m not generally a fan of semi-automatic rifles in video games, especially one like Starfield. They feel too slow and cumbersome to enjoy. And I’d like to say Head Ranger made me change my mind because it’s an excellent rifle for the mid-game, but it’s not my bag. But that’s okay because perhaps it’s yours! Here is how to get Head Ranger in Starfield.

Where to Get Head Ranger in Starfield

To get Head Ranger in Starfield, you need to hit up Laredo firearms in Akila City, where you may buy the unique rifle for 8,131 credits. It’s not too expensive, and it should serve you well if your goal is to join the Freestar Rangers or play a sharpshooter-like class.

Head Ranger is a unique variant of the Lawgiver, an extremely accurate semi-automatic rifle typically found in the Freestar Collective. It’s the go-to choice for most of their operatives.
