You won’t typically find me rocking a pump-action shotgun in many video games, but there is something extremely satisfying about blasting Ecliptic with a single shotgun blast in a confined hallway. It’s cathartic. And while Starfield features a ton of unique close-range options, nothing quite compares to the Old Earth Shotgun. It’s a classic, and we’re going to teach you where to find one! Here’s how to get the Old Earth Shotgun in Starfield.

You can buy the Old Earth Shotgun in Starfield from the following vendors:

  • Centaurian Arsenal, New Atlantis
  • Rowland Arms, Akila City
  • Aludra’s Weapon Shop, The Key

On occasion, I’ve found one to spawn at UC Surplus in The Well. It’s not a guaranteed spawn location, however.
