Gran-Gran’s Stats table.

Players must opt for the Kid Stuff trait during character creation to embark on the journey to claim Gran-Gran’s Armor.

• Select the “Kid Stuff” trait during character creation to begin your journey toward obtaining Gran-Gran’s Armor.
• Play through the main storyline until you reach the Lodge in New Atlantis.
• After your initial visit to the Lodge, you’ll receive messages from your in-game parents encouraging you to visit the Residential District.
• Head to the Residential District and meet with Dad. He will reward you with exclusive items like Grandpa’s Meatloaf recipe and Sir Malcolm Livingstone’s Pistol.

• Dad, for instance, bestows players with exclusive items like Grandpa’s Meatloaf recipe and Sir Malcolm Livingstone’s Pistol. However, the best reward is yet to come.
• After interacting with Dad, you’ll receive a note from Mom expressing her desire to meet you.

• Follow Mom’s note and visit your parent’s home in the game.
• During your visit, your parents will gift you with Gran-Gran’s armor set, including the space helmet and spacesuit.

For those who prefer a more direct approach, the console command player.additem 001F22BB allows them to add Gran-Gran’s spacesuit to their inventory. I should also warn you that using any Console commands will turn off any achievements earned from that section of the campaign.

• Your journey begins with the “Tourists Go Home“ mission. This mission can be initiated in New Homestead, a Living History Museum located in space within the Sol System.
• Head to Titan, within the Sol System. This is where you’ll find New Homestead.
• After landing on Titan, make your way to New Homestead. Explore the area until you find the Clinic.

• Inside the Clinic, have a conversation with Dr. Guiliana Lakota. Speaking with her will unlock the “Tourists Go Home” mission necessary to obtain the Monster Costume.
• To permanently add the Monster Costume to your collection, you must complete the “Tourists Go Home” mission three times.
• After your initial completion, wait for six hours. Dr. Lakota will be ready to assign you the mission again. Repeat the mission for the second time. Then, wait 24 hours before engaging in another conversation with Dr. Lakota to start the mission for the third time.

It would be best to start the New Game Plus mode within Starfield. This mode allows you to replay the game with enhanced features and challenges.

• You’ll need to finish the game three times in total. After completing New Game Plus three times, start a new game with a fresh character.
• Upon initiating this new game for 4th time, you will find the Starborn Spacesuit Tenebris readily available in your character’s inventory. It will be accompanied by the Starborn Guardian IV Spaceship.

You may also access the Starfield console command window and enter the command ‘player.additem 001CBA4D’ to effortlessly acquire this iconic spacesuit.

Mark I Spacesuit Stats table. 

• First, progress through the main story until you reach the quest called “One Small Step.” Completing this quest will provide you with the Lodge Key. Once you have the Lodge Key, go to the Lodge entryway.
• You’ll find a basement door beneath the stairs in the Lodge entryway. To open it, you must have a Rank 3 skill level in the Security skill. Ensure you have an adequate supply of Digipicks, as you’ll need them for the next step.

• Inside the basement, the Mark I Spacesuit is stored behind a master-locked display case on a mannequin.
• Ordinarily, unlocking this display case would require a high level of lockpicking skill. However, there’s a clever workaround. Switch to first-person mode and position yourself before the slim gap in the door.
• While in first-person mode, use this gap to interact with the mannequin’s arm. This allows you to obtain the Mark I Spacesuit, Space Helmet, and Pack without triggering any theft consequences.

I was slightly disappointed but also glad to see that, like any Bethesda title, some exploits can be best explained as broken game engines.

The appeal of the Mark I Spacesuit doesn’t stop at its initial design. Players can further enhance its capabilities through a range of potent mods, each customizable to their preferences.

Starborn Spacesuit Locus Stats table. 

• The primary method to acquire the Starborn Spacesuit Tempus is by repeatedly entering the Unity. This method is considered the legitimate way to obtain exclusive spacesuits.
• The type or set of Starborn Armor you receive varies based on the number of times you enter Unity. Players have reported obtaining the Locus version of the Starborn Spacesuit after completing either the 3rd Unity entry in their inventory when starting a new game alongside the Starborn Guardian III Spaceship.
• After the New Game Plus with Sarah, the Starborn Spacesuit Tempus becomes available.

Following these steps and considerations, you can acquire the Starborn Spacesuit Tempus in Starfield and enjoy its benefits for your interstellar adventures. Some players initially speculated that acquiring these suits was random, but further investigation revealed a pattern.

Starborn Spacesuit Locus even comes with a Balanced Boostpack for enhanced mobility. Once unlocked, you can craft the Balanced Boostpack at a Spacesuit Workbench.

My Take On Best Armor

Within 30-plus hours of playthrough, I got the Mark 1 Spacesuit. It is the best armor set available in the game for defense and outlook appeal. Even though I would recommend against hoarding loot, I always kept all the unique armor in my inventory. 

I used this armor for every situation. You can also use commands and cheats to get any armor without hassle. I would recommend against it if you care about achievements. Still, if you want to get the feel of some of the armors, you can use cheats but save them in a different save file.
