Starfield Mod Adds An Incredibly Helpful New Feature

A new mod for Starfield allows players to craft their own ammunition, a feature that was strangely omitted from the RPG's otherwise deep crafting system. Bethesda's latest RPG, Starfield, launched in September 2023 to solid reception, with the game's ship and outpost building features serving as the main source of creativity for clever fans over the months since release.

On Nexus Mods, Novakiin Mods put out Shell Shocked, a mod which allows players to craft many of the game's «vanilla» ammo types. Once installed, players must use Starfield's Industrial Workbench to find the ammo recipes, but will also need to have the corresponding weapon skills unlocked, as well as the Special Projects skill to be able to craft the ammo using some of the game's more basic resources.

Novakiin mentions lasers, ballistics, particle beams, rifles, and pistols as the types of weapons players will be able to craft ammo for with the Shell Shocked mod. Most types of ammunition can be quite abundant in Starfieldfor players who like to explore every nook and cranny, and players can end their playthrough with loads of ammo left in their pockets.
