The Bethesda RPG game DNA that we all know and love is heavily present in Starfield. There are a number of very awesome emergent moments, but there have also been a lot of jank, guys locked in walls, and quests that bug out that I can’t accomplish. One that I hadn’t considered, but has already been discovered, is the ideal way to steal anything you want without facing any repercussions before the Starfield release date.
I saw this “advanced stealing method” over on Reddit, as user ‘Dave78905’ (great name btw) shares a short clip of how you can, 100% of the time, always succeed in stealing, even if you don’t have a great Starfield stealth build.
Now, you could just go undetected and take any item you please, but if you’re on a busy shop floor that can prove to be very, very difficult. You could move the item in-game too, but you’ll more than likely get caught. So this is where the most Bethesda of Bethesda solutions comes in.
Basically, grab a fairly large item and take to the item you want to steal, and then push the item as far as you need to and get to a quiet space. Now, where no one can see you, steal the item. Simple.

Is this dumb? Yes. Does it work though? Also yes. For me, this is exactly what a Bethesda RPG is all about, as it’s not like the team made a mistake or that it’s a bug, but rather the systems all put in place working in a way no one expected. Is Starfield an immersive sim? Well, almost!
The beauty here is that not a single Starfield console command or cheat was used, so you’re not breaking the game or playing in an unintended way at all. If it’s not a bug it’s a feature I guess.
If, like hundreds of thousands of us, you’re getting stuck into Bethesda’s new universe on PC and want some help, we’ve got your back with a breakdown of the best Starfield builds depending on your playstyle and all the Starfield console commands and cheats you’ll ever need to know.
