Starfield Secret Rooms Discovered by Using the Mining Laser

Starfield Secret Rooms

Bethesda’s space opera RPG Starfield launched just a few days ago in early access and players are already discovering all sorts of secrets and hidden passages. While exploring the stars, players will have the opportunity to scavenge through dozens of populated locations. Most of the time, the path forward through these is quite clear, but in typical Bethesda fashion, Starfield secret rooms have been discovered.

As shown off in a tweet by Twitter user Psychobaker_24, there are actually sealed corridors labeled “cuttable wall” that player can stumble across while delving through the game’s numerous outposts and space stations.  At first blush, these walls might simply appear to be set dressing, but it is actually possible to interact with them.  By whipping out the mining laser, players can actually cut open the pins holding the wall shut and cause it to drop open.  In the tweet below, we can see that doing so reveals an entire passageway that might have otherwise gone unexplored:

From a glance, it looks like the passageway revealed in the video is a little worn down. Choosing to enter these secret rooms will grant players extra supplies or weapons and allow alternate avenues for stealth and traversal. Secrets like this reward explorers who take the time to get a good look at their environment.

Starfield players are already discovering all sorts of ways to push the boundaries of the game, and they’re even beginning to recreate famous spaceships in the game’s robust ship builder.

Starfield will fly out of early access and be released officially this September 6 on the Xbox Series X|S and PC.
