How to Get Starborn Armor in Starfield

Cutting edge threads

Space is your runway, and spacesuits are your haute couture ensemble for the stars. But not all spacesuits are made from the same cloth. Some are simply better. And that’s the case for the Starborn Spacesuit in Starfield. Here’s how to Get the Starborn Spacesuit in Starfield.

How to Get the Starborn Spacesuit Astra in Starfield

You can spend thousands of credits and endless resources meticulously upgrading your favorite spacesuit to survive every environment you come cross. And yet, it still won’t be as good as the Starborn Spacesuit.

That’s because the Starborn Spacesuit is the crème de la crème of spacesuits. It has everything you could want. But it can only be obtained in one way. By completing the game and starting a New Game+.

Minor spoilers ahead. No story spoilers!

Once you unlock New Game+, you’ll automatically have the Starborn Spacesuit Astra equipped. This, along with your new ship, the Starborn Guardian, your levels, and certain special skills, are the only thing you’ll keep in New Game+.

Fortunately, the Starborn Spacesuit is exceptional, and it only gets better as it evolves. In its base form it offers the following stats:

  • Phys: 149.
  • Energy: 149.
  • Em: 149.
  • Thermal: 50.
  • Airborne: 50.
  • Corrosive: 50.
  • Radiation: 50.

It also has the following buffs:

  • O2 Filter: -25% oxygen consumption.
  • Resource Hauler: Resources weigh 25% less.
  • Sensor Chip: +20% accuracy while firing on the move.
  • Balanced Backpack.

Yes! That’s right, you don’t even need a pack to use boost. Likewise, the suit includes a helmet. Which means that even though the Starborn Spacesuit weighs 17.40 kilograms, it’s offset by the fact that you don’t have to have those pieces equipped.

But beyond that, the Starborn Armor you unlock for each subsequent New Game completion is better than the last, for up to 10 completions. The mods, however, will be random.

Here’s a gallery of all nine after Starborn Astra, in order.

Is There Better Armor Than the Starborn Spacesuit in Starfield?

The Starborn Spacesuit allows up to three effects and since the spacesuit is one piece, it is limited to around four modifiers. Normal armors will usually have more modifier slots which could top the Starborn Spacesuit. However, it is truly up to the preference of the player. Some use the Starborn Spacesuit solely as cosmetics while others upgrade, modify it and build upon it to be a better piece.

Of course, going for the Starborn Spacesuit means you lose everything with a new game. But if you’re still grinding out your game, now might be a good time to get one of the best pre-New Game ships available: The Star Eagle. It’s incredibly helpful for that last mission!
