Starfield is a game that offers an equal amount of thrill and entertainment while still letting you take a breather now and then to ensure you will have the best experience playing it.
Blast Zone side mission is one such quest that will let you hang out on a planet for a while rather than embark on another space adventure, and you earn an ample XP with very little work.
However, many players began encountering a specific kind of bug while trying to finish this side quest. So, how do you finish the quest easily? Moreover, what to do if you encounter a Blast Zone bug?
In the article below, we will walk you through the mission and provide a solution on how you can fix the bug.
How To Initiate and Finish the Blast Zone Mission in Starfield?
Blast Zone mission, like many other side quests, can be initiated by speaking to a specific NPC, but you are also randomly assigned to take up this quest by overhearing an Akila City Guard.
Since the latter option seems a bit challenging and you may not succeed in starting the quest, let’s try the most apparent way to start this quest.
- Travel to Akila City and locate Ngodup Tate, who gives the quest.
- To do so, head east from Akila City’s spaceport, where you will find a staircase on the left of The Rock entrance.
- As you follow the path, you will eventually come across the Freestar Collective Consulate and keep moving eastward.
- Once you pass the Lance Estate, you will be able to locate Ngoup Tate, who, after speaking, will try to sell you two Akila City properties.
- Since we don’t want to waste any credits, politely decline his offer and bid him goodbye.
- Then Mr. Tate will stop you and inform you that he has some work for you since you have prior experience in mining as an ex-Argos Miner.
- Your mission will be to clear six hard stone litters present in the location where Mr. Tate is planning to build affordable houses for poor residents.
- Upon accepting the job, track the location down through the map, and you will find six hard rocks placed there. Take your cutter and blast the rocks until they are completely destroyed, and you’ll complete the mission.
How To Fix the Blast Zone Bug in Starfield?
In the Blast Zone mission, there are two forms in which you will find it as a bug. The rocks may not spawn at the area entirely, or your cutter doesn’t destroy them no matter how many times you try.
For both of these bugs, Starfield players across the world have found a solution and shared it in the community. So, here’s how you can fix the bug most simply and efficiently.
- After facing the issue, head back to your ship and fly to Venus in the Sol System.
- In Venus, sleep for at least ten hours (in-game) and return to Akila City after you wake up.
- If you re-attempt the quest again, it should work flawlessly.
