The handy tip comes from the internet personality known as DansGaming, taking to Tik Tok to showcase a quick feature of the Cutter mining tool inStarfield. While the device can simply be used by pressing the fire button, traditionally the right trigger on controller or left mouse click on PC, mining resources takes a few seconds of direct laser contact. However, players can cut down on that time by holding the ADS (aim down sight) button first or at the same time as the weapon fire button, typically the left trigger on a controller or the right mouse button. As DansGaming showcases, doing so almost instantly mines the resource node.
On its own, the time saving may not seem like much, but considering how often players are going to be utilizing this technique, the small tip will certainly add up over time. The tip will likely be especially valuable for players who are looking tomake some fast cash inStarfield, cutting down on the time needed to mine minerals and resources.
However, if that time saving tip isn’t quite fast enough, others have found an even faster method for earning credits, though there is a catch. Following suit with previous Bethesda titles,Starfieldcomes with the ability to type in console commands, allowing for all sorts of unique codes to be used including being able to instantly obtain credits. It’s worth noting that not only does using some of these disable achievements, but it is only available on the PC version ofStarfield.
Starfieldis now available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
