The outposts and abandoned space stations of Starfield are absolutely packed with junk. Sometimes you’ll have a hard time searching the derelict locations for anything useful — but you’ll want to look anyway, because eagle-eyed players will be rewarded with one-time-only upgrade magazines. These special paperbacks give you a permanent stat boost whenever they’re found, and there are dozens hidden throughout the galaxy. Players can miss out on almost all of them if you’re not searching the many, many flat (and mostly empty) surfaces of the interiors. Seriously, normally that is very little for you to find that’s worth picking up. It’s worth looking out for these magazines.
