There's a big topic doing the rounds in the Starfield community at the moment and it concerns... a puddle.
Yes, players have discovered a way to use an in-game puddle to access the entire inventory of a store, meaning you can loot it all without any cost or negative implications whatsoever - and then you can do it again 24 hours later.
Here's how the Starfield puddle glitch works:
- Go to Akila City on Akila (in the Cheyenne system)
- Look for the "Shepherd's" store on the left as you go through the main entrance
- Seek out the exact puddle shown in the images below
- Ideally, go into third-person mode
- Crouch by the puddle, and the store's inventory should become available to loot
In terms of making "unlimited money" with this Starfield puddle glitch, all you need to do is sell the items you've looted (you can do it at Shepherd's if you want to), and then return every 24 hours to repeat the process all over again.
Of course, the big question is why does this work? As highlighted by PC Gamer, there's an invisible storage container placed underneath Akila's main road that causes the "bug" to occur. Starfield has received a patch today containing a few hotfixes, but the puddle glitch still remains exploitable at the time of writing.

We expect Bethesda will eventually patch this out, but for now it's totally up to you whether you want to use it or not. If you're taking your Starfield experience seriously, we'd highly suggest avoiding it for the time being, but those who just want to play around and enjoy this special "cheat" are free to do so. It's tempting, but we're going to resist!

Another Puddlegate 🤣
That’s one cool glitch
If you go off to rush to do this ..you are a sado...that is all:)
If there is one thing I don't need more of, it's money.
@Kaloudz lol fair enough ...defeats the point in playing the game to me....using loop holes that where not intended to help you basically cheat...but each to Thier own
@StylesT I'll never do this. I haven't even done that glitch for that armour in the cabinet. The only game I've actively glitched on was Gotcha Force on the GameCube to get a gotcha borg you could only get by attending a convention, and some you get by merging other borgs you've collected but they're glitched out but still fun to use, and a glitch to play as the last boss but all the moves are automatic so you just sit there bored as heck.
This is a bit of a historical glitch for Creation Engine games. Vendors inventories are usually bound to an “invisible” well hidden chest that sometimes can be accessed. Why don’t they put them extremely under the world is unknown to me, but might have something to do with the inner workings of the engine or debugging.
I remember using this on Skyrim to get an achievement, one about either selling a lot or making a ton of money… don’t remember the specific achievement, but remember the vendor. Was in a town near the final Dark Brotherhood base, and the vendor was a traveling Kajit and the chest near some rocks by a mine entrance.
It’s already very easy to get rich in this game with outposts if you plan it well. Can build some impressive cargo operations.
@Kaloudz I would say it's given out more than fair ..not really much I want to buy tbh so I keep racking up money and spending it on stuff I don't even really need lol
@Kaloudz , I had a fairly lucrative play through just selling the weapons and gear of my enemy's, I never wanted for anything.
