I actually like getting caught with contraband because when you turn yourself in you can steal it right back plus there is usually more in the chest with your stuff.

If you run around the crater to the opposite side there’s another unique location: a sunken, abandoned cryo lab. Drop down into the exposed lower chamber and blow up the fuel canister to open the door & enter for more loot. Pirates were there when I swung by. (If you keep inventory weight low enough, just fast travel back across the crater to your ship; rinse, repeat.)

You could fly to System Wolf go to the Den hassle free wont be searched and sell contraband there too.

If you leave guns in the yellow gun case they stay in there and when reset, that previous gun and a new gun are in the case, that case you opened had 2 guns in it (antipersonel ark welder, basing arc welder)and when you reset and opened it again it had the same 2 guns (antipersonel ark welder, basing arc welder)plus the new 3rd gun(disassemble arc welder)

The 2 funniest things I came across in Starfield while cruising down the galaxy in my ship with my crew was the club party ship and the old lady offering to come aboard and eat a good meal. 😂 I was like WTF! ? 😂

Many thanks for the info . I 've been doing the Redmile quest for a while but didn't know about the Bunker,,plus I hadn't even thought about selling Contraband at the bar .. !! So big thumbs for the tip's !!!!!

You don't have a bed in your ship ?, the landing area is right next to the red mile. Also yo can sell contraband at the Den in the Wolf Star system and at Kryx if you sided with the Crimson Fleet.

To get a 48h reset at red mile, its 5 24h sleep waits, by far the slower option if u frying to farm

I also discovered by accident that Mei's club is a good place to farm 1.5 KV ammo, which the pistol named Ember uses. The accident was attempting to speak to the bartender, and stealing a wine shifter sitting on the bar.

Never knew about the bunker, as I had only run the mile a couple of times and moved on. Thanks for this video about it.

Has anyone considered building a small base with turrets at the far end of the red mile? IDK if it's actually possible due to proximity, but figured it would be worth the check.

This is actually really good info. After completing the FreeStar Collective quest I saw no point in running the Red Mile ever again. Now I can see I'll be making several more runs in the future.

Hey man, cool video, thanks for the info. Unfortunately once you learn about the money farm outposts for million credits everything else to sell seems useless to me... The one interesting part are the chests with the weapons. Good luck !

From the button, you say head NE to the bunker; but your compass has you facing SW. I know its probably just a simple error on your part; but, its the sort of thing that will have people cursing your name when they can't find the bunker.

250+ hours in the game and I never knew about this

You do know the contraband chest in Neon's security cells will also respawn at the same rate with one chest plus one sitting outside the chest. Jump on the chest to hide from anyone (I also crouch for safe measure), and then loot it. Then just run it down to the Trade Authority to sell without ever needing to go through a check point. You can do this on a new save after you deliver the first artifact.

Dude. Ive gotten into starfield in the last month and I've been loving it like every other Bethsda RPG, but I love your content! Keep it up ! :D

You can do it without going Mei. Go to the Red Mile ship guy & you can upgrade your ship to stash contraband.

Yeah, I found the bunker. The third time I ran it was from the building's roof. Yeah, I got no credit or glory for it, but the altitude allowed me to boost over 2/3 of the way there. Another time I jumped from the back of the crater and met fewer critters and I think the distance may have been a wee bit less iirc. Twenty-eight times and ya get a neato gun?!?! I don't think I'll go for that unless I can knock down Donovan Rhys a peg or too. wise arse thx S

Oh dear..... I had forgotten about that room as i found it on my first run.... now 28 runs later....all that missed out loot...oh well.😅

Im going to see if i saved the game seperate so i can go back and screen record all the cases of contraband. At least 40 cases of contraband and like 10 chests in ONE base i was blown away to be honest i was having a run on finding nothing good for a couple weeks and seems like all the loot glitched into one raid 😂

PLEASE help, am I doing something wrong? I've tried 3x - the box isn't refreshing. I have waited several hundred hours on venus and returned multiple times and chest never refreshes. completed mile run and restarted each time as well.

There's a dead dude in a container who has a letter from someone outside that tells you about this, cool to know where it actually is :)

So they must have patched it or something because i legit just watched this video right, did exactly what you said. Even rested 48 hours for vendor to reset. And went back to it and there is nothing here guy. All the chests are opened and no new loot. Not even the chest by the button

Bartender takes forever to rest because of universal time

Good video. Keep rocking

Selling stuff at the Red Mile was a nice surprise.

Now if only I could actually do the Red Mile Quest, my shit glitched out and my last save was like 5 levels ago so yea , guess I'll have to wait for them to fix it.😢

What is that unique Beowulf you’re using? I don’t think I’ve seen the red rails on it before.

I got Brute Force on my 2nd run and it is a life saver at times lol ✌️

Would'nt surprise if they rush a update out just for that!

Interesting , Thank You . Sadly in this play through , the Red mile will not activate , and that stalls my ranger progression .

Thank you for this!

6 days after this video is created., I tried this but nothing respawns 48 hours later. Not even the bartender's credits respawn. :(

Wow this actually makes the res mile worth it.

Just did it twice 2nd time crates were empty not sure why waited more than 48 hours

Do you have to wait for Mei to announce you each run or can you just get going? Worst part is that wait.

I would have given this video a like at the end, but I couldn’t because you had already earned it halfway through.

This seems like the first thing to do in the beginning of new game plus

Just tried this, no longer works after the beta for decorating habs. Loot does not respawn. Waited 50 hours, travelled to another system and back, loot doesn't respawn.

The loot is not respawning fit me. Even took a trip to Venus to sleep 😢

Door is locked and has to be picked lol

I am very glad I watched your video. :)

After doing the main mission. We can go back?

Great video

But they probably expected me to play past the day one release. Oh well.

Ok I just found my 4th one, it's the Contraband cache, I died and the next time I passed the Contraband cache it had change to a Galbank cache. now we know what to look for, and to be sure it's the one with the blue top and bottom, not the yellow ones. let me know if you find one that changes. not sure if that one will change.

The only problem is it will take you two years to sell it all.

Are you pretending that Bethesda paid some dev to put something in the game that they don't expect any player to find ?

It's not a 'CACHET' of contraband. It's a 'CACHE' (pronounced 'cash', meaning a place where you hide things). Cachet (cashay) means a special mark or stamp of prestige or embossed label. Anyone who's collected stamps know what a cachet is. Note that they make the same error in the game in one (spoilery) place.

Damn. I am on my way.

Why do you get over 10K for one contraband???. I max out commerce and get around 2,5k

I found the biggest haul of contraband yesterday since I started playing. It was around 40 pieces in suitcases organs tech art and so on. Plus aurora can be found also it was the nest that appears on the activities at the beginning but I'm on new game plus and never even completed this before. It was from the ecliptic base where a ship lands in the centre. I'm sure most who went through this build done the same in the exact same layout but you want to enter the main section and take out enemies until you approach a circle club bar you should enter from a hallway onto the balcony of this bar room, first you want to clean out some high level enemies all mine were level 70 to 100 but a va ruun particle rifle (modded is super lethal) will require no more than a few good shots or a clean head shot, loot them all for rare items and so item once you have wiped them all out from the balcony you then want to fully search all that top floor, take plenty digipicks because you will be amazed what you find in rooms you would never search, I'm.sure I found at least 15 suitcases and lots of credstics including unlock lock every locker small and large minimum 1000 credits and a good weapon, don't miss any little passage and DO NOT exit when you search through you reach a few enemies to loot who you already dealt with next to two pool tables. NOW FOR THE REAL LOOT go downstairs and you will find a door underneath where you entered to the left I think, in that room look closely you will find a key card. It will pop up you have the key for room 1 2 3 4 5. Just go and open them and enjoy you will find the rooms starting with 2 on that level but through a couple halls I can't remember specifically. But I found over 15 pieces in the two rooms straight away, all in all being Conservative I'd say over 40 but I'm sure it was like 50 60 suitcases alone. I got over 100k in credits for the jobs anyway 😂 and 8 took that ship one I went outside. Make sure you strip search that building with all the cases no matter what's locked with digipick access it paid and the only 1 that didn't was the 5 keys on the one key card in the office. You will find like 10 of them.rooms all with suitcases of contraband

Wow this is so worth playing the game for 🤣🤣🤣

25 minutes per hour? That doesn't seem great for resetting stuff

Loot has been nerfed since last patch June 2024. Barely worth it.

"cash" not "cash-ay"

Do you actually have to run the Mile, or just walk out that way from your ship?

It’s a quest how can they not expect you to see it lol Jesus absolute drivel

too bad vendors have so little credits. you have to sleep many times just to sell what you got the first time here, and you end up getting more stuff each time you sleep. you will never get rid of everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Neon City is easier.

The title : STARFIELD DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO FIND THIS ! Comments : " everybody has already being here" KZfaqrs are not even real gamers . . .

1% of the playerbase probably even looks at the game. then 1% of that plays the game, and then 1% of that found that secret. Why are you still playing that game?

How long does it take for the run to reset? I've waited 24 hours on Venus and it still hadn't reset.

Let's see, Bathesda didn't expect us, obsessive- compulsive explorers, to find something they put in their game. I'm pretty sure they expected us to find this. I mean Red Mile is basically a red light district where everything is illicit. This is stupid.

There is a 100% chance to get by the scanning when going to another planet. All you have to do is go into your ship and drop the contraband on the floor, exit the ship, and you can go anywhere to sell contraband that buys it, no scan needed. If your on your ship when you get contraband, once on your home ship, just drop it on the floor and land on the surface of any planets, exit your ship and travel anywhere. Just remember to drop the contraband on the floor before exiting your ship to fast travel anywhere

You must be running this on a consul. I have Command or Consul control on PC.

Great video, game is still boring as f though.

Damn those were horrible RNG drops. Cutlass and arc welder. Rip. Those items shouldn’t even be in the damn game.

Yay!!!!!!😂

“Starfield didn’t expect you to find this”? For one, I think you mean Bethesda, and two, if it wasn’t supposed to be found, it wouldn’t be in the game in the first place… Also, several other comments said this has been patched? If that’s true, this clock bait video has become completely useless.

😏 count me 1%

No Starfield loot is special. You get the same crap at every place you go. Money means nothiing in Starfield. There is nothing to buy!

Has anyone found a good game yet???

Contraband hunting is the biggest waste of time in the game. Vendor credits are ALWAYS too low use it as a money maker. I have literally HUNDREDS of pieces of assorted contraband in chests at TWO of my outposts where it will sit forever. I don't even pick the crap up anymore. I almost wish the game had an open player market, I could flood it with contraband and generate non stop credits that way lol. Until people realize what a pain in the a** contraband is.......

Damn I hate clickbait titles and videos... Anyone who's played alot of Bethesda games would know to explore, and that places like this exist... It really wasn't that hard to find, and you're practically lead to it if you follow the trail of dead bodies from the button at the top...

This game is so pointlessly boring. I'm sure Howard heard of Star Citizen in development and thought, "I have a good idea!"...

To be fair, only 9% of people who bought this game probably played all the way through because it's garbage

trash game

Only 1% found this, mostly because 99% gave up on this dumpster fire of a game already.

game is doo doo

I know there's mods but all the exp mods break the game. Would you say just standing in the middle of the mile killing everything is good exp?
