Where to Find All Power Cells in Starfield

• Stalker Anomaly: How to repair weapons

In addition to the power cells found next to the mech, there are more power cells waiting to be discovered in the vicinity. Take some time to explore the area surrounding the mech and keep an eye out for power cells scattered on boxes and crates to its right. These additional power cells will ensure a smoother power-up process.

Powering Up

Once you have collected all three power cells from the computer building and the ones near the mech, it's time to place them inside the computer. Activating the communications computer will allow you to progress further in the game and uncover important information.

Barrett's Audio Transmission

After successfully powering up the computer, make sure to pay attention to Barrett's audio transmission. This transmission might provide vital clues about Barrett's whereabouts and the next steps you need to take.

Speaking with Lin

Return to the room with power receivers and engage in a conversation with Lin, a character who holds valuable information. Lin will reveal the location where Barrett is being held captive, allowing you to plan your rescue mission accordingly.

Mark Altair IV-B

With the information provided by Lin, open your map and mark Altair IV-B as your next destination. This step is crucial in progressing the storyline and finding Barrett.

Recruiting Lin

As an added bonus, you have the opportunity to recruit Lin to join your crew for free before proceeding further. Having Lin on your side can prove to be advantageous as you navigate through the game's challenges.

Shortcut Method (Requires Security Skill Point)

For those players who have invested a skill point in Security, a shortcut is available. This approach bypasses the need to search for power cells and allows for a more efficient progression. Here's how to take advantage of this shortcut:

Data Storage Bypass

If you possess a single skill point in Security, you can leverage this skill to pull out the data storage from the computer. By selecting the "Pull Out Data Storage" option when interacting with the computer, you can skip the power cell search altogether.

Engaging with Lin

Having bypassed the power cell search, you can now directly engage in a conversation with Lin. This shortcut enables you to obtain the same outcome as the traditional method, without the extra steps of searching for power cells.

By following either the traditional method or utilizing your security skills, you now know how to find all power cells required for starting up the communications computer on Vectera in Starfield. Remember, exploring both paths can add depth and excitement to your gaming experience. Good luck on your mission to rescue Barrett!
