No Sudden Moves overview

No Sudden Moves is a Starfield Main quest. Like all other Starfield missions, you can find the full details of No Sudden Moves in your mission log, and you can easily find your next objective location by following the quest marker, or by entering the scanner mode and following Starfield’s breadcrumb trail.

No Sudden Moves is preceded by Short Sighted, and followed by High Price to Pay.

Vladimir has caught wind of an Artifact in possession of a collector. You need to steal it. He requests you take Andreja along with you.

You can begin No Sudden Moves by interacting with Vladimir Sall.

No Sudden Moves objectives

Most Starfield missions consist of several objectives that you must complete to advance the quest. As you complete each objective, your journal will be updated with the next objective.

Specific objectives and checkpoints have not yet been confirmed for this Starfield mission.

No Sudden Moves reward

Completing No Sudden Moves provides the player with 750 experience.

Some quests also provide additional rewards:

This quest does not reward the player with any unique weapons, armor, or items.

No additional rewards have been confirmed.

No Sudden Moves mission console commands

If you just want to start the No Sudden Moves mission, all you need to do is enter the following Starfield console command to begin:

startquest 00017CE7

Be warned that attempting to start a quest that requires specific triggers or hidden markers can result in game instability, so it is recommended you save your game before trying any commands. If however you are encountering a Starfield bug that prevents the mission from advancing, you might want to try the following:

resetquest 00017CE7

The above command will completely reset a quest (make sure you save your game beforehand in case it causes a crash to desktop). It also has the potential to prevent that quest from ever completing, meaning you’ll need to use the completequest 00017CE7 command to progress.

No Sudden Moves walkthrough

Our Starfield No Sudden Moves walkthrough is here if you’re struggling to complete this quest and appease Vladimir.

  1. Talk to Vladimir Sall at The Eye to initiate the mission. He’ll tell you about Captain Petrov, a rival collector who’s come into possession of an Artifact. Vlad wants you to head to Petrov’s ship, the Scow, to steal it.
  2. Head to Procyon III to find the Scow. If you hail the Ship, you can convince those on board to let you dock.
  3. Once aboard, it’s up to you whether you want to attack, steal, or persuade your way into possession of the Artifact. Your best option is to go with whichever method best utilizes your preferred skills.
  4. One option is to use your persuasion skills on Petrov to let you view the Artifact. Once you’re in the room with him, shoot him. He’ll quickly surrender, and you can instruct him to stand all the guards down, leaving you free to take the Artifact and go.
  5. Head back to The Lodge. Add the Artifact to the Collection to immediately begin the next mission: High Price to Pay.
