Where to get more Digipicks in Starfield

There are three ways you can get Digipicks in Starfield:

Purchase from vendorsPickpocket for themLoot sources

The easiest way to get Digipicks is to just keep an eye-out for them while exploring an area. It's not a consistent way to find them though, so we'd also recommend visiting vendors and pickpocketing NPCs.

Purchase Digipicks from vendors

Digipicks are found in the 'Misc' category at a vendor's store, and from the multiple vendors we've purchased them from, it costs 35 Credits to buy one Digipick. Don't worry about loading up on too many of them, as Digipicks don't have mass, so your carrying weight is unaffected by them.

Some of the earliest vendors you come across are Jemison Mercantile in the New Atlantis spaceport area, and Apex Electronics in the New Atlantis Well area, both on the planet Jemison. Talk to the characters behind the counters and check out their 'Misc' items to nab yourself some Digipicks in the early game.

While exploring the rest of Starfield, check in with vendors regularly at spaceports and other commercial areas if you want to top up your Digipick stash.

Pickpocket Digipicks

This is the riskiest method of finding Digipicks in Starfield, if your pickpocketing attempt is unsuccessful, you could get a Bounty, increase the Bounty already on you, or potentially go to jail if you can't afford a fine. You also need to unlock the 'Theft' Skill first before you can even attempt to pickpocket targets. If you're set on being a space scoundrel though, then it's also worth remembering that upgrading the Theft Skill makes pickpocketing attempts easier. You'll find a lot of potential pickpocket victims in settlement hubs like New Atlantis. You could also always just save before each attempt, and reload if you fail.

It's also worth keeping in mind that it's not a crime to just look at somebody's inventory! So, you can scope out if a person has Digipicks on them without upsetting them or any of the authorities.

Get Digipicks from loot sources

Digipicks are found from many different loot sources, including:

CorpsesContainersLockersOut in the open

From our time with Starfield, we've found that Digipicks are located most often as loot out in the open, like on desks, or in lockers. We've even found some conveniently placed Digipicks right beside locked safes. So, if you come across a safe and are in desperate need of a Digipick, have a look around the room before abandoning any potential loot.

However, Digipicks are small, black, long and thin objects, so they're not the easiest to spot, unless you're being thorough with looting an area.

So remember to also check all containers and corpses in a room, as they could have Digipicks on them, as well as some other helpful loot like aid items or modded weapons.

Just keep in mind that it's only completely safe to pick up Digipicks with all white text and symbols, if Digipicks have a red symbol in the description then they are considered stolen if you take them, and if it has a yellow symbol, that means the Digipicks are contraband.

All the best finding Digipicks in Starfield!
