Where to Get Keelhauler in Starfield

To acquire the Keelhauler pistol in Starfield, you must infiltrate the Crimson Fleet on behalf of UC SysDef. But it’s not an immediate reward. You must work through the faction quest line until you complete “Echoes of the Past,” after which Delgado will reward you with the legendary revolver.

The upside is that you can receive Keelhauler, a legendary weapon, early in the game. You don’t have to hit a specific level for this item to spawn or to receive as a reward.
