Xenowarfare Tech How to smuggle contraband in Starfield?
If you are entering a highly secured area (or planet) in Starfield, you are likely going to have to pass your ship through security which is going to scan you for contrand.
Locations such as New Atlantis and Neon will always scan your ship before allowing you to enter, so you must ensure you can hide your contrabands for any scanning and checking.
If you don’t know, any item that has a small yellow mark at the lower right corner is an illegal contraband item. It’s best to always check what you are carrying, as contraband items will trigger an alarm, whether you are not smuggling them on purpose.
You can only smuggle contraband into secure locations by hiding them with the help of certain ship upgrades in Starfield.
If you do not have those upgrades, it is best to jettison illegal items off your ship before passing through security. Deception Skill
The first thing you need to smuggle contraband in Starfield successfully is the Deception skill in your Social Tree.
