How to Get the Bounty Hunter Armor and Weapon in Starfield

Outer space holds many adventures, but it’s also an unbelievably dangerous place, and even seemingly barren planets can end up leaving you with multiple status afflictions. A reliable spacesuit is necessary if you want to protect yourself against intergalactic threats, and the Bounty Hunter armor is one of the best in the game. To complete the look, you can also pair it up with the Lawgiver gun.

Read on to learn where to find the Bounty Hunter armor and weapon in Starfield.

Where to find the Bounty Hunter armor in Starfield

There are plenty of reasons to go searching for the Bounty Hunter armor, as in addition to providing good resistance, it is also a high-value item that can net you a lot of money if you decide to sell it. Try these three methods to find it:

1. Loot

Loot fallen foes, and with enough luck on your side, you’ll pick up the Bounty Hunter armor from dead Spacers. This is the easiest way, though it’s not reliable, and it’ll take a while before you find the spacesuit, helmet, and boost pack.

2. The Key

You can purchase the armor from The Key, which is the headquarters of the Crimson Fleet. To make use of the facility, you’ll have to join the Crimson Fleet which we fortunately have a detailed guide for. Once you’re in, head for Zuri’s Essentials to purchase the set. The one downside to this method is that you’ll have to cough up the credits. You’ll also need to be sufficiently leveled up before the items appear in Zuri’s store.

3. The Mantis Lair

The Bounty Hunter armor can be found while completing The Mantis, which is a side mission with one of the best stories in the game. This Starfield guide will help you get through the mission. To trigger it, you’ll have to find a slate titled “Secret Outpost!” which you’ll randomly find on a dead Spacer if you kill enough.

The mission will have you learning about a group of forgotten humans who are looking for a new place to call home. You’ll eventually find the lair of the Mantis, who is a crime-fighter. Here, you can pick up the armor you seek, though you’ll still be missing the boost pack and helmet, which you can get from The Key.

Don’t forget to fully explore the Mantis lair, as there are several great guns to grab, as well as the Razorleaf spaceship which will make it harder for any space pirates to mess with you.

Where to find the Bounty Hunter weapon in Starfield

The Lawgiver will help you lay down the law as a Bounty Hunter. It’s a powerful gun that deals great damage and offers satisfying accuracy, making it a very useful weapon to have on your side during the early hours of the game.

There are a few places to find the Lawgiver. The first is in the Mantis lair, and you’ll come across it by opening all the yellow safes you find. Be warned that you’ll need to be able to pick Master and Expert locks by upgrading your Security skill. You can also find it in the Razorleaf ship, and it’ll likely be a modified Lawgiver. If you aren’t in the mood for hunting, you can also purchase it from Neon Tactical on Volii Alpha.

With the Lawgiver, your Bounty Hunter look is complete, and you’re ready to take on the dangers of the cosmos. You’ll also want to grab the Mantis armor set which is also in the lair.
