Every Side Quest in Neon in Starfield
Neon, complete with its seedy underbelly, corporate overlords, and brightly lit commercial district, can sometimes feel lifelike. There’s so much happening. But for those who want to delve headfirst into the various stories and side quests in Neon, knowing where to start proves challenging. We’ve compiled every side quest in the city, excluding miscellaneous quests and mission board objectives.
All For One
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| James Newill | 110 XP Credits (Leveled) |
In a city run by greed, everyone falls victim at some point. Neon is no different. In All For One, you’ll discover James Newill, a local shop owner, is at odds with his competitor, Dietrich Sieghart, who is known for paying the guards to protect his business. It’s terrible for everyone, and James wants your help stopping such underhanded tactics.
Balancing the Books

|---|---|
| Rafiq Hamza | 100 XP 1000/2000 Credits |
In Balancing the Books, a side gig available for those working with Ryujin Industries, Rafiq Hamza reveals himself as a kindhearted individual helping those in need in the Underbelly. Unfortunately, his good deeds were rewarded with a mishap. He lost a slate with precarious information on it, and he wants your help in finding and returning the slate.
Bare Metal

|---|---|
| Frank Renick | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) |
In Bare Metal, Frank Renick, the shop owner of Neon Tactical, is dealing with a local gang member, Wardlord, who resides in Ebbside. Frank is clearly upset about the damage to his robotic companion and wants credits to ease such pain. You have a choice as to how you acquire those credits, though. Personally, I felt a weapon from Kore Kinetics was the solution.
Dirty Laundry
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Manaia Adams | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) |
In Dirty Laundry, you’re tasked with helping Manaia Adams of the Astral Lounge recover and dispose of a discarded firearm. It’s something straight out of a crime novel, with the cleaner coming in behind the actual criminal to dispose of the evidence. You can earn quite a few credits for taking on this role, though.
Display of Power
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Hatchet | 75 XP Credits (Leveled) |
In Display of Power, the continuation of the Ebbside Strikers questline, which begins with The Audition, you will speak with Hatchet about hacking a few signs scattered around Neon. The Strikers want control over the signage to control the flow of information better, and you’re instrumental in making this happen.
Fishy Business
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Yannick Legrande | 75 XP Credits (Leveled) |
Neon is the only city in the Settled Systems where Aurora is legal to produce, sell, and use. It’s contraband everywhere else. So, when Yannick asks you to help him score a package of Aurora in Fishy Business, those of us who want to make quick credits in a less-than-legal manner will jump at the chance.
Hard Luck
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Clover Mackenna | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) |
How often do you visit CeltCorp in the Trade Tower in Neon? If you visit Clover Mackenna, she’ll have a side quest, Hard Luck, to tackle. It’s a simple job that requires you to persuade a local to take up a loan, but there is another option hidden within the quest for a better outcome. It just takes a keen eye and some detective work to find.
Loose Ends
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Yannick Legrande | 50 XP Credits (Leveled) |
In Loose Ends, you will meet Yannick Legrande, the infamous vendor-turned-Aurora-dealer in Neon who wants to take on the big dog at the top to earn a few credits on the side. But first, he needs you to deal with his former associate, Felixer Sadler, who is causing a few issues in Ebbside.
Mob Mentality
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Tevin | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) |
You’ll find that many of the side quests in Neon deal with nefarious members of Ebbside and Underbelly. With Mob Mentality, Tevin is dealing with harassment from a local gang member named Headlock, and you can deal with him any way you like to stop the annoyance from spreading.
Relief Run
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Doctor Joseph Manning | 110 XP Credits (Leveled) |
On the extreme opposite end of the spectrum in Neon, Relief Run sees you helping someone with a kind heart instead of one looking out for themselves or their business. Doctor Joseph Manning, the man running the local clinic, requires supplies to continue helping those in need, and you’re the right person to acquire them. I recommend persuading the supplier for additional help.
Saburo’s Solution
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Saburo Okadigbo | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) |
In Neon, you’ll shift from making and selling Aurora to handing out flyers in an instant. It’s a tough gig, but in Saburo’s Solution, the Mining League representative requires a delivery boy who can pass out some paper to the various vendors in the city. It’s quick and easy credits, though.
Superfan
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| BorealUS | 110 XP Credits (Leveled) |
Suppose you want to help a budding musical prodigy; head to the Astral Lounge to speak with BorealUS to tackle Superfan. Her music slate is missing, and without it, her career is in trouble. To find the slate, you’ll need to pay, persuade, and track down the right people in Neon.
Supply Line
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Yannick Legrande | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) Aurora Crafting Recipe |
After you complete Fishy Business, Yannick will again require your assistance in Supply Line. He needs a regular supply of Aurora to keep his side business flowing smoothly, and he wants you to scoop up the occasional shift at Xenofresh to score product.
The Audition

|---|---|
| Andrea Sandoval | 50 XP 6300 Credits |
The starting quest for the Ebbside Strikers, a local gang in Ebbside, sees you speaking with Andrea Sandoval. She’ll introduce you to Briggs, the gang leader, who has a small audition for you to know if you’re Strikers material. The Audition is a bit cringe overall, but it’s an easy 6000 credits.
The Showdown
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Vogal Fuches | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) Street Sweeper |
The final mission for the Ebbside Strikers, The Showdown, will force you to pick a side between the gang you recently joined and the one running Ebbside, The Disciples. It’s a tough choice, but the rewards and combat make for a fun little romp.
Unjustified
| Quest Giver | Quest Rewards |
|---|---|
| Katherine Luzion | 100 XP Credits (Leveled) |
Here is a poor, sweet older woman struggling to make it by in the Underbelly when all of a sudden, her husband is killed, and the local authorities cover up the murder. She needs answers and justice, and you’re the new law in town. In Unjustified, you will find the killer through persuasion, credits, or other means.
