The late game in Bethesda’s latest RPG is where things really start to get interesting, and you’ll be asked to make several tough choices. One of these is whether to side with the Hunter or Emissary in Starfield.
We’re here to help you make that choice.
Whichever side you pick will have an impact on the remainder of the story and the game’s ending. Spoilers follow.
In the main story mission Unearthed, you will be asked to side with the Hunter or Emissary. Who you choose to side with will determine who you fight against and what rewards you earn in Revelation, a quest that appears later.
Keep on reading to find out what Starfield Hunter or Emissary choice you should make and what the differences are between who you side with.

If you side with the Hunter in Starfield during the Unearthed main story mission, you will end up fighting the Emissary in story quest Revelation.
The Hunter up until this point has come across as one of the game’s main bad guys (after what he did in High Price to Pay and all that), so siding with him might seem like a bad choice.
When you get to Revelation, you will fight the Emissary (you can persuade them not to fight, but you won’t get the reward for doing this).
Defeat the Emissary and you’ll earn the Eternity’s Gate Particle Beam Rifle. This is the only way to unlock this powerful and unique weapon. You may also get some other rewards, including a fancy space suit.
