Unearthing the Mystery: Starfield's Invisible Creatures Bring a New Twist to Exploration
The classic Bethesda conundrum of bug versus feature keeps players on their toes in Starfield, where one intrepid explorer stumbled upon a planet teeming with invisible creatures. While Starfield boasts hundreds of procedurally generated planets for players to discover, the flora and fauna remain fixed. This not only streamlines resource hunting but also enables the community to compile a comprehensive database of planetary inhabitants, helping players prepare for their expeditions.
Surveying planets in Starfield is a lucrative way to earn credits early on, but many players still rely on the tried-and-true method of selling rare weapons, a staple in Bethesda games, to amass more credits than they know what to do with. Even the ship-building hobby, while costly, becomes affordable as characters progress to Level 30. Nevertheless, embarking on interstellar safari adventures can yield substantial experience, prompting many Starfield players to turn to hunting exotic alien creatures in the wilderness to level up.
For one Starfield player, Azuras-Becky, their survey of Newton III took an unexpected turn when they encountered a herd of creatures that possessed an extraordinary trait – invisibility. Newton III, a life-sustaining planet in Starfield, hosts a modest range of invisible flora and fauna species that rely on their Camouflaged trait to remain undetectable by the naked eye, necessitating the use of scanners.
Interestingly, Newton III isn't the sole planet harboring such elusive creatures. Sparta IV, for instance, boasts arachnids with the same Camouflaged attribute. Conventional combat tactics prove less effective against these unseen foes, forcing players to depend on their scanners or leverage the Star Sense power. Alternatively, employing the Hornet Nest weapon mod for shotguns, with its explosive rounds, guarantees that invisible targets feel the impact of the splash damage.
Additionally, the Recon Laser Sight, a weapon mod, can be instrumental in dealing with concealed adversaries. It highlights stealthy enemies, enabling Starfield players to pick them off from a distance with their trusty hunting rifles. While Starfield is renowned for its share of amusing bugs, the presence of these camouflaged creatures within the Settled Systems adds depth to the thrill of planetary exploration. Hopefully, as Starfield's budding modding community gains access to the Creation Kit, the diversity of fauna will continue to expand, enhancing the game's immersive experience.
