Where to Get Weapon Skins in Starfield

As of writing, there have been only two ways to get weapon skins in Starfield, and one of them is no longer available. The first way was to pre-order the game, which came with a skin for the Cutter that made it gray with red stripes. The other method is through getting the Premium Edition of the game, which comes with the Constellation Skin pack. That pack comes with a skin for the Equinox that features Starfield’s neutral white combined with several colored stripes.

While there aren’t currently any other weapon skins in Starfield, that doesn’t mean there never will be any more skins added. We still have yet to receive the Shattered Space expansion pack, something that’s still a way out. There’s a good chance that expansion will include weapon skins since creating a whole skin feature for two uses seems wasteful. However, Bethesda has yet to confirm or deny that weapon skins will be coming at some point.

How Do You Equip Weapon Skins?

If you got a skin through the pre-order or Premium Edition of Starfield, equipping the weapon skins is easy enough. Head to the Lodge and make your way to the basement through the main lobby. In the basement, you’ll find a weapon workbench. There are other weapons workbenches scattered around Starfield, which you can check out in our guide on workbench locations. Select either your Cutter or Equinox, then select the skin and equip it. Enjoy looking snazzy while mining or shooting!

The first expansion pack for Starfield called Shattered Space is speculated to come out early 2024, which may or may not come with new weapon skins.
