How to get the REV-8 in Starfield
In order to get the REV-8 rover, you must visit a Ship Services Technician. These can be found near landing bays by some of the game’s major hub. When you interact with a Ship Services Technician, a range of options will pop up. Select the one that reads “I’d like to purchase a vehicle” and the NPC will present to you the vehicles that are available.
Since the REV-8 is the first vehicle to land in Starfield, it’s the only form of transportation you’ll see. To purchase the four-wheel drive, you must hand over a total of 25,000 credits. If you don’t have enough credits in the bank, you can earn more by completing quests and selling loot along the way.
Once you’ve bought the REV-8, it’ll be parked next to your ship when you land, following you wherever the universe takes you. It’s an extremely versatile rover that can take on any planet and surface. Not only that, but the REV-8 possesses the ability to jump, shoot, and even mine, all while speeding around your environment.
Now you know how to get the REV-8 in Starfield, the way you navigate every planet has been revolutionized. If you want a closer look at the vehicle before you give up the required credits, Bethesda has shown off the REV-8 in a trailer.
