Starfield has so much depth, and players can take it almost as far as they want. From exploring the vast reaches of space, mining planets for minerals, or customizing space suits, there is something for all kinds of players.

While there are many valuable items to find in the game, upgrading is often the best way to get the most out of the protagonist's equipment. If budding space captains in Starfield want to customize their helmets, develop outposts, and more, they will need a resource called Cosmetic. There are several ways to obtain this valuable resource, but this guide will outline the most reliable ways to find it in Starfield.

Where To Buy The Cosmetic In Starfield

Starfield - The UC Distribution Center on New Atlantis

Cosmetics are everywhere throughout the galaxy in Starfield in random drops from enemies or chests and storage boxes. However, purchasing them from vendors is the most reliable and least challenging method to obtain vital resources like Cosmetics for upgrades in the game. Players can use the following vendors to buy Cosmetic resources:

The UC Distribution Center

Thankfully, players won't have to travel too far or wide to locate the first vendor that stocks Cosmetic resources in Starfield. The UC Distribution Center is one of the most reliable sources of resource material in Starfield, and players may find themselves returning to the shop to buy more. The UC Distribution Center is in the Commercial District of New Atlantis.

The UC Exchange

Another nearby location with a reliable merchant is the UC Exchange in Cydonia on Mars. Mars is located in the Sol System north of Alpha Centauri. Players can travel to Mars after the prologue mission or wait until a story mission sends them there. The UC Exchange is located on Lower Level 1, past the Reliant Medical shop and the Enhance store.

Shepard's General Store

The Western-inspired city of Akila has several shops with many resources, items, and weapons to buy. It is located in the Cheyenne System and will take several jumps to reach unless the player has acquired a better ship than the Frontier. The Shepard's General Store has many vital resources for sale, including valuable Cosmetics. It is the first shop on the left as the player enters Akila. The price of Cosmetics in all shops is only eight credits.

Starfield is available now for the PC and Xbox Series X/S.
