How to Get Ace Sidearm in Starfield

Some of the most unique pistols in Starfield don’t stem from any lengthy questline or challenging boss encounter across the Settled Systems. No, they come from hard work and a paycheck. That’s right; if you visit certain merchants across the galaxy, you’ll find a few unique firearms, including Ace Sidearm. It’s relatively cheap, though powerful for early-game combat encounters. Here’s how to get Ace Sidearm in Starfield!

Where to Get Ace Sidearm in Starfield

Again, you don’t need to spend any time completing quests to acquire Ace Sidearm in Starfield. Instead, you’ll need approximately 10,000 credits, give or take, and a quick trip over to Jemison Mercantile at the Spaceport in New Atlantis. It’s the shop on the corner to your left upon coming up the ramp to the UC Vanguard Security Checkpoint.

Inside, speak with the vendor. She’s pleasant enough, with no life story to bore you, and will offer to sell you a few early-game weapons, ammunition, and resources. Of course, under the weapons category is the Ace Sidearm.
