I usually play Bethesda games on the easiest difficulty because it feels more realistic for enemies to die quicker.

However I’m still struggling with the combat in this game. Some enemies still feel like bullet sponges despite me being on “very easy” mode.

I notice they have perfect aim from a distance while I struggle to get hits on them. Anyone else?

Or anyone have tips for how they’re approaching combat?

I did just watch a clip of someone on normal difficulty and their enemies were taking just as long to kill as mine were on very easy.

    Coming back to say, now that I’ve played the game, the game does not seem to scale with your level like other Bethesda games, each system has its own level, and they can vary wildly. Quests are not leveled independently and you may go to different systems of different levels within the same quest, so if you feel like it’s really hard check if the system you’re in is like ten levels above you or something. You can fight above your level but it’s tricky.

    For me it’s been take cover but keep moving. Get close and hit hard. Have med packs ready to use and don’t be afraid to use the numerous buff consumables.

    The enemies are bullet sponges. Thankfully it’s easily fixed either with a mod, or by manually editing StarfieldCustom.ini.

      Yeah I installed a mod and have been happy with time to kill, seems reasonable.
