Handloading

The Starfield Handloading Weapon legendary mod is a powerful and unique modification which can take your Weapon to even greater heights.

Handloading legendary mod overview

The Starfield Handloading mod is one of 63 Starfield legendary effects within the legendary weapon and legendary armor categories. The Handloading is a legendary modification for your Weapon.

While the Starfield base game doesn’t allow you to craft the Handloading mod, or unequip it from any Weapons that have it, you can potentially grind the Starfield loot tables to get it on the Weapon you want.

In the case of weapons, the easiest method is to use our Starfield legendary weapons farm exploit.

For armor, refreshing vendor inventories by waiting several in-game days seems the best way to cycle through the available options, though unfortunately this is a much slower method. Should a Starfield mod or exploit be discovered, we’ll include the method here.
