How to get REV-8 vehicle in Starfield ahead of Shattered Space

As a seasoned spacefarer with countless light years under my belt, I can wholeheartedly affirm that the arrival of the REV-8 vehicle in Starfield‘s Shattered Space DLC is nothing short of a game-changer! For years, we’ve been trekking across alien landscapes on foot, wishing for a more efficient means of exploration. Todd Howard and his team finally heard our collective plea, and boy, were they listening!


Exploring the newly-arrived Va’ruun’kai planet from the Starfield Shattered Space DLC will heavily depend on the REV-8 vehicle. Here’s a guide on how to acquire it.

Initially, enthusiasts of Starfield yearned for land vehicles when the game launched, as they found traversing vast planets on foot to be quite laborious. However, Todd Howard outlined the reasons behind this decision initially; later, they reconsidered and introduced the REV-8 with the August 20 update.

On September 30th, “Shattered Space” will be released, so if you don’t have it yet, you might want to ensure that your spaceship is ready for exploring the Va’ruun’kai system!

In the REV-8, you can only change direction using the left joystick or arrow keys; there’s no option for a reverse button or brake.

Instead, pressing RB/Shift gives your spacecraft an extra speed boost over ravines, or you could opt for the jump key to activate the vertical boosters, propelling your vehicle higher than usual, allowing access to otherwise unreachable locations.

The REV-8 will provide you protection too, equipped with a robust built-in laser turret for your offensive needs. You can use it just like any other weapon, aim and shoot when necessary.

Pressing ‘X’ on your controller or ‘R’ on your keyboard will activate the horn, while changing to a first-person perspective can be achieved by adjusting the camera angle using the toggle POV (Point of View) button.
