Bare Metal overview

Bare Metal is a Starfield Miscellaneous quest. Like all other Starfield missions, you can find the full details of Bare Metal 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.

Previous quest: None

Following quest: None

Frank Renick of Neon Tactical wants you to track down and “deal” with the lowlife that sprayed graffiti all over Renick’s beloved robot, Styx. Renick knows that the person in question goes by the name “Warlord” and that they hang around Euphorika.

You can begin Bare Metal by interacting with Frank Renick.

Bare Metal 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.

Completing Bare Metal provides the player with 100 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.

Bare Metal mission console commands

If you just want to start the Bare Metal mission, all you need to do is enter the following Starfield console command to begin:

startquest 000A935F

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 000A935F

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 000A935F command to progress.
