How to Get Neuroamps in Starfield, & What They Do
Your galaxy-hopping adventure across the stars sees you bump into plenty of merchants, but one vendor you’ll find on Neon offers something both unique and mysterious. Peculiarly, a chap called Aito Suzuki sells small pieces of wearable tech called Neuroamps that boost their user’s brain function. So, if you’re wonderinghow to get Neuroamps in Starfield, here’s everything you need to know.
Where to Purchase Neuroamps
Specifically, players can purchase Neuroamps fromAito Suzukinear thelobby areaofRyujin TowerinNeon Core, which can be found on the planetVolii Alphain theVolii Starsystem.
If you fast-travel to Neon Core, keep heading straight forward until you come to a large red lobby area. This is the bottom floor of the Ryujin Tower, which is very close by to theTaiyo Shipyard.
Head inside past the receptionist, and on your right-hand side you’ll seeAito Suzuki.
Once you speak to Suzuki, you’ll be able to purchase Neuroamps directly from him. Luckily, you won’t need to complete any specific missions in order to purchase them.
In addition,you can also purchase Neuroamps from Zuri’s Essentials inthe Key, which is the Crimson Fleet base of operations. You’ll find the Key space station orbiting the planetSuvorovin theKryx system.
Do note that you’ll need to have completed theRook Meets Kingmission and joined the Crimson Fleet before entering the area around the Key. If you travel here before you’ve joined the Crimson Fleet, you’ll be attacked by the turrets and security ships guarding the station, and it won’t be an easy battle. Thankfully, if you’re quick, you may stillescapeby powering up yourgrav drive.
How Much Do They Cost & What Do They Do?
Suzuki sells some apparel items that are quite handy, but the crème de la crème of his collection are definitely his Neuroamps as they’re so unique. There are three different types of Neuroamp to purchase, and each type boasts different levels of efficacy:
Firstly, it’s important to note thatyou’ll need to equip the Neuroamponce you’ve bought it to net its unique effect. Thankfully,they don’t take up an Apparel slot, and are an additive wearable item.
Essentially, each Neuroamp offers a unique social effect that can prove useful when dealing with persuasion attempts. Occasionally, an [Intimidation], [Instigation], or a [Diplomacy] dialogue option will become available during some persuasion attempts, and they’ll help you to automatically bypass part of the persuasion encounter.
Additionally, if you scan certain characters or enemies, you can click A and use the Social function of the Neuroamp. Depending on the one you have equipped, you’ll potentially influence the specific character or enemy in a distinct way.
For example: A successful Intimidation or Diplomacy check will result in the enemy running away. Meanwhile, a successful Instigation check will make the enemy attack its allies for a temporary period of time.
Are Neuroamps Worth It & Which Is the Best?
From our experience,we think that purchasing a Neuroamp is worth it. We’d suggest purchasing the Mark III version largely because they’re the most effective out of the bunch and offer the most bang for your buck.
As for the best one? Well, all three offer decent social bonuses and increase your likelihood of bypassing some of the more challenging persuasion encounters inStarfield.
However, if we had to choose one, we’d likely opt for theNeuroboost Mark III, which offers +15% Intimidation Chance. That’s because we’ve had the most success with this specific Neuroamp on our playthrough so far. Basically, during persuasion encounters, we’ve seen Intimidation pop up a little more frequently than the other options.
