Summary
AStarfieldplayer finds themselves in hot water with the local security enforcers for picking up an unassuming cardboard box. Since releasing on PC and Xbox consoles in September 2023, gamers have been exploring the massiveStarfielduniverse and sharing little quirks that they find during their adventures.
Even with a somewhat lukewarm reception from critics,Starfieldhas quickly gained notoriety as one of Bethesda’s most immersive games. The action RPG features an expansive galaxy that contains 1000 worlds for players to experience. Along with the in-depth exploration weaved into the game, loot can be found in almost every crevice that gamers can find. Although, as one player recently found out, even the items that appear the most mundane can be valuable to someone else.
The user Weegeepie42099 has posted a video on Reddit of them wandering around one ofStarfield’s large outposts, looking for various pieces of loot before picking up a cardboard box. When the player takes hold of the box, a UCSEC security guard appears and quickly advises that the box should be put down or there will be consequences. When Weegeepie42099 attempts to put the box on the guard’s head, things escalate, with the officer choosing to open fire in the crowded location rather than resolve the situation amicably.
Starfield Player Causes Mayhem By Picking Up A Box
Fans have understandably found the situation rather comedic. In the replies to the post, one user points out that the security guard could be having a bad day. Others point to Bethesda’s strange rules about ownership that appear across most of their RPGs, not justStarfield. Why the guard would harass Weegeepie42099 for picking up an empty cardboard box is still up for debate, although it seems the player faired better than aStarfieldNPC who melted through the floorafter being caught stealing.
The issue with the cardboard box could also be another glitch that Weegeepie42099 has stumbled across. Bethesda has pushed out numerous patches since the game was released, with the most recentStarfieldpatch rolling out to players in March 2024. This lengthy update fixed a large number of gameplay elements, and while the game is much better for it, there could still be a few bugs to contend with.
Despite UCSEC guards seemingly being overprotective of a cardboard box,Starfieldremains popular in gaming. PC players, in particular, have been enjoying a host of mods that improve the experience, including a new one called The Deep End. Thisnew mod boostsStarfield’s NG+ difficultyand encourages players to fully explore their surroundings before heading into a firefight.
