The best gear in Starfield is often found as random loot in containers or dead enemies. Some, however, can be found as rewards or simple bonuses that players can pick up while running a mission. The UC Antixeno Spacesuit falls under the latter, and there's a lot to like about it.
Combat in Starfield isn't terribly difficult, but players will still need to be at the top of their game if they want to survive the hardest challenges the game has to offer. A good suit of armor can provide the survivability necessary to win a tough firefight, and the Antixeno suit has more than enough protection to offer. Here's how to get it.
Antixeno Spacesuit Location
The UC Antixeno Spacesuit can be found on Forward Base 441 on Toliman II. Players may need to start the UC Vanguard questline and reach the Hostile Intelligence mission, which is on the tail end of the chain. Quest markers will be on the items, making them very hard to miss.
Once players do reach the Hostile Intelligence quest, they'll be tasked with speaking to the commander of Forward Base 441, who will instruct them to visit the armory to get outfitted with some high-quality weapons and armor. A full legendary set of the complete UC Antixeno Spacesuit will be on the table next to the quartermaster. Players can pick this up free of charge along with every other piece of ordnance in the armory. Those who want more items can speak to the quartermaster.
The stats on each piece of the set appear to scale off the player's level, so not everyone's Antixeno suit may have the same levels of protection against Physical, Energy, and EM weapons. However, the individual perks on each piece do seem to be static:
- Antixeno Spacesuit
- Beast Hunter: -15% damage from Alien enemies
- Auto Medic: Automatically use a Med Pack when hit and health is below 25% once every 60 seconds
- Sentinel: 75% chance to take 50% reduced damage when standing still
- Antixeno Helmet
- Beast Hunter: -15% damage from Alien enemies
- Analyzer: Deal 10% extra damage to scanned targets
- Incendiary: 10% chance to ignite attackers
- Antixeno Skip Pack
- Sturdy: -15% damage from melee attacks
- Fastened: +20 Carry Capacity
- Armor-Plating: -10% incoming Physical, Energy, and EM damage
As its name implies, the UC Antixeno Spacesuit (and its related helmet and backpack) are all designed for fighting aliens. The set's overall protection against all damage types is solid, and it is very resistant to radiation and airborne contaminants.
Even the booster being a Skip Pack is meant for xeno combat, as the lateral movement can help players dodge away from incoming melee attacks. Its innate Fastened perk also gives players some extra room to carry heavier weapons like the Microgun, which is great for shredding through targets with large health bars.
Wearing the Antixeno set is highly recommended when doing the Hostile Intelligence quest since the majority of the enemies here are Terrormorphs and the various other alien species that they've enthralled. Apart from the aforementioned heavy weapons, anything that can ignite or deal Incendiary damage is also very effective against these creatures.
Starfield is available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
