Defensive Measures overview

Defensive Measures is a Starfield Miscellaneous quest. Like all other Starfield missions, you can find the full details of Defensive Measures 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: False Positives

There seems to be some sort of disagreement outside the Akila City Security office.

I heard a guard named Davis Wilson arguing with a scientist about trying to develop a way to protect the city better from Ashta. I should find out what’s going on.

You can begin Defensive Measures by interacting with Davis Wilson.

Defensive Measures 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.

Defensive Measures mission console commands

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

startquest 0021625F

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 0021625F

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 0021625F command to progress.
