Starfield armor mods

Similar to weapons, you can use Starfield armor mods to enhance your equipment loadout. Armor mods can improve your base Starfield armor by buffing your base physical, energy, and electromagnetic resistances, providing additional environmental protection, or giving special bonuses to your skills and abilities.

Legendary mods give you further customization options, but are subject to randomization until a Starfield mod comes along to change that.

How do Starfield armor mods work?

In order to create an armor mod, you’ll first need to research the designs at a Research Laboratory. From there, you’re going to need a few resources for each recipe.

Once you’ve gathered those resources, you can craft the mod directly to your armor set at a spacesuit workstation to reap the benefits.

Starfield armor mod locations

You can unlock armor mods by completing equipment research projects, and can potentially find more in random containers, for sale from various merchants, or as a reward from quests.
