Best Starfield Spacesuits: Where to Find the Most Powerful Armor

Nishina Spacesuit

The “Entangled” mission is a tense journey through two realities fighting for existence, and you determine which one survives. Do you save the universe with Rafael, or do you save all the other NPCs in the Nishina lab? It’s the sci-fi equivalent of the trolley thought experiment, only this time you can actually rescue everyone. If you do, you receive the Nishina Spacesuit.

The Incendiary Experimental Nishina Spacesuit, or Nishina Spacesuit for short, is one of the most powerful outfits you can acquire in any Starfield run. The suit sports a massive 137 physical, 149 energy, and 153 electromagnetic damage reduction, as well as 15 thermal, 30 corrosive, and 15 radiation resistance. This armor more than earns its status as a Legendary item, but to acquire it, well, that takes a lot of dimension hopping and some lateral thinking. Moreover, the process is a secret route the UI doesn’t spell out for you.

To start, interact with the Lab Control Computer and select the “Decaussing” file. Click “Initiate Degaussing,” and the computer will tell you which Power Interlock switches you need. Interact with the requisite switches twice (once to disengage them, and again to engage them). Then swap universes and repeat the process, making sure to remember which reality requires which degaussed switches.

Next, revisit the Lab Control Computer and select “Frequency Calibration.” Get the universe frequencies as close as possible by selecting output frequencies in each dimension. This might take a few tries, but once the screen says that the Intake Waveform is “Stable,” you’re done. Activate the Primary Calibration Control in both realities and watch the fireworks. Once all of existence has stopped spinning, you’ll receive the coveted Nishina Spacesuit. Oh, and when starting this mission, don’t forget to talk to Ethan and persuade him to hand over the Experiment A-7 shotgun.

Starborn Spacesuits 

After you beat Starfield’s story, what is there left to do? Unlike other Bethesda games, Starfield includes a New Game+ mode that lets you retread the story, make new decisions in quests, and push your character’s skills to higher heights. Also, you get one of the strongest spacesuits in the game.

As soon as you start your first New Game+, you receive the Starborn Spacesuit Astra, which is one of the few outfits in the game with stats that are as high as they are balanced. This suit provides 149 damage resistance to all three types and a solid 50 resistance to thermal, airborne, corrosive, and radiation. Each time you finish a New Game+ run and roll into your next one, Starfield provides the next Starborn Spacesuit in the line, up to a maximum of 10.
