Starfield: How to Get the Old Mars Skin Pack

Starfield achieved record-breaking pre-order numbers, making it one of the most-played video games on Steam even before its official release. However, many players who preordered the game are curious about how to access the promised bonuses, particularly the Old Mars skin pack. Unfortunately, Bethesda games often lack instructions on how to claim these perks, leaving players in need of a guide. No worries, though, as this guide explains how to obtain all preorder bonuses in Starfield - the easy way.

How to Get Preorder Perks

To claim the preorder bonus skin pack, players must complete the One Small Step mission and unlock the Lodge. They will then need to visit the Lodge’s basement and modify their gear with the Old Mars skin pack using the Weapon and Spacesuit Workbenches. Here’s a step-by-step guide for getting all preorder perks:

• Complete the first main story mission, One Small Step.
• Land on Jemison and go to the Lodge.
• Unlock the Lodge’s basement; the first door to the right of the entrance.
• Interact with the Spacesuit Workbench.
• Equip the preorder skin pack on the Deep Mining suit.
• Head over to the Weapon Workbench.
• Modify the Cutter with the Old Mars skin.

How to Claim Preorder Rewards on Game Pass

 

Game Pass subscribers will be eligible for the preorder bonuses at no additional cost. To claim these rewards, they may need to visit Starfield’s page on the Microsoft Store and install the Old Mars skin pack separately.

After accessing the game's page, scroll to the "In This Bundle" section. From there, choose the "Old Mars Skin Pack" and click the "Install" option. Once the installation is finished, players can return to the game, complete the first story mission, and claim the rewards from the Lodge's basement.

The Complete List of Starfield’s Preorder Bonuses

Players who obtained Starfield before its September early access release were rewarded with the Old Mars skin pack. This bundle provides cosmetic enhancements for the Deep Mining Helmet and Pack and camo for the Laser Cutter. It's important to note that these bonuses are purely cosmetic and do not affect the gameplay. Additionally, activating these items does not require any in-game components and can be undone whenever the player wishes.
