Hilarious Starfield Clip Shows What Happens When a Ship Lands in Water

Starfield's expansive world never ceases to amaze fans, and one curious player was stunned wehn they found out what happens when a ship lands on water. As is the case with most Bethesda games, Starfield is synonymous with some really interesting bugs and features, but this one is by far one of the most hilarious of them all.

The funny video showcases the characters trying to swim within the confines of the ship itself. Adding to the humor is the peculiar sight of characters doing the swimming animation while remaining seated and completely stationary, creating an amusingly weird scene. While Starfied players have been actively exploring planets with water bodies to find something interesting, this is one of the least expected outcomes.

Redditors can't seem to have enough of the entire display, with many bringing back Bethesda's iconic «It's not a bug, it's a feature» saying. On the other hand, some were more focused on players swimming under the water, with responses clarifying that it is only possible on PC and can be done by typing «tcl» on the Starfield console, which disables collision detection and allows players to go anywhere in the game. It is crucial to note that if players are underwater for too long, they will end up dying.

While some fans have reiterated that underwater exploration
