In the vast universe of Starfield, modern and futuristic weapons abound, but the classic M1911, known as the Old Earth Pistol, remains a favorite among players. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned explorer of the cosmos, this guide will help you obtain the iconic Old Earth Pistol.
Starfield Game Guide: How to Obtain the M1911 (Old Earth Pistol)
The Old Earth Pistol, or M1911, can be obtained through various methods in Starfield. Here’s how to acquire it:
Purchasing from Vendors
The most straightforward way to obtain an Old Earth Pistol is by purchasing one from a vendor. Two notable weapon stores where you can find it are:
- Rowland Arms in Akila City.
- Centaurian Arsenal in New Atlantis.
Rowland Arms specializes in older arms, making it an ideal spot to search for the Old Earth Pistol. If you don’t initially find it in the shop, don’t fret. Sit down at the stool next to the counter, wait for 24 in-game hours, and then check her inventory again. You may need to repeat this process a few times until the Old Earth Pistol appears. Once it’s available, simply buy it.
Looting from Fallen Enemies
If your credits are running low and you’re feeling lucky, you can try to loot an Old Earth Pistol from fallen foes. However, this method involves randomness, so it’s not recommended unless you’re already dealing with a surplus of enemies and are willing to take the chance.
Stealing from ECS Constant
For those daring enough to venture into a new system, there’s a sneaky way to acquire the Old Earth Pistol right from the start of the game. Follow these steps:
- Head to the Poriima system, located far to the right of Alpha Centauri on the star map. It’s a level 30 system, but combat is not necessary at this point.
- Locate a large ship called the ECS Constant and hail it. Board the ship to speak with the captain, initiating the First Contact side quest. For now, focus on the heist.
- Make your way to the ship’s armory, where you’ll discover a stash of Old Earth weaponry, including Old Earth Pistols. If you don’t find any initially, leave the ship and return later to refresh the weapon racks.
- If you’re feeling particularly lucky, attempt to pickpocket the ECS Constant safe key from the captain and unlock her safe. Inside, you’ll usually find an Old Earth Pistol with some mods and other rare Earth antiques that can be sold for valuable Credits.
So whether buying, looting, or stealing, with some patience players can easily get their hands on this iconic sidearm from the early days of humanity on Earth to serve them well among the stars. Reliable and customizable, M1911 is a must-have for any player looking to make a statement with their sidearm in Starfield.
