In Starfield, you will need the Argon gas while researching the Performance Enhancement 1 research project. Like other Gasses, you will have to be careful while extracting it. Getting too close to it will deplete your O2 level. Before harvesting Argon, you’ll have to find it which is a tough job, considering there are hundreds of Planets in this game. So in this guide, we will tell you the location and steps to harvest it easily.
Argon Location in Starfield
In case you are up for exploration, you should look out for a Planet’s description on the Galaxy Map. Whatever Planet has Argon will display Ar in the Resources section. To make things simpler, here are a few Planets where you can find Argon in Starfield:
- Alpha Centauri
- Jemison
- Chawla
- Olympus
- Ourea
- Nesoi
- Hypnos
- Sol
- Enceladus
- Iapetus
- Umbriel
The above are just a few Planets where you can find Argon. But once you are on them, take out your Scanner and start looking for this gas. You can usually find it coming out from vents or near its deposit. Once you have found this green Gas, you can finally store it in a container. Here’s how:
How to Harvest Argon in Starfield
To extract or mine Argon, you simply need to get closer and press the Harvest prompt. Besides this, if you are looking to harvest and contain Ar in large quantities, then here’s how to do it:
- Find a Planet with a huge amount of Argon.
- Enter the Build Mode and craft an Extractor.
- Place it on the highlighted area with Argon.
- You can use a Solar Array or Wind Turbine to power up and increase the efficiency of the Extractor.
After placing it successfully, you will extract plenty of Argon in one go. Apart from the above lengthy method, you can skip the grind and directly purchase it. Here’s where:
Where to Buy Argon
Multiple Vendors in Starfield sell Argon at an affordable price. I won’t make you go very far, as there’s a merchant available on New Atlantis, Jemison Planet. In case you are out of the Alpha Centauri system, then you can also visit a vendor in Cydonia, Mars to buy it. Both of these Planets are unlocked early so you can get this gaseous resource there.
Just like Argon, there are plenty of other important resources in Starfield as well. Ytterbium, Titanium, and Sterile Nanotubes are a few of them. To know their locations, you can check out our guides on it.
