Starfield’s Anchorpoint station features a broken safe that players need to unlock by finding five hidden clues scattered around the area. Each clue comes with a riddle that’s quite cryptic. If you’re stuck, GamesRadar has a comprehensive guide detailing every clue location and the solution for the safe.
This puzzle follows a familiar formula that Bethesda uses in Starfield. Players receive riddle prompts from a terminal or computer and must explore the environment to discover the necessary clues before they can access the safe. Unlike many optional loot containers in the game, this one requires a bit more effort.
Anchorpoint is one of the many carefully designed locations in Starfield that combines environmental storytelling with mechanical puzzles. With the game now available on PS5 after its April 2026 launch featuring DualSense capabilities, a new wave of players is diving into content that PC and Xbox users experienced from the September 2023 launch.
Bethesda is also gearing up for new content: Steam achievements hint at a Terran Armada DLC, suggesting there’s more in store for Starfield despite the game’s mixed reception on Steam. It’s unclear if this new content will change player opinions — currently, the game holds a 55% positive rating from 116,170 Steam reviews, which is quite low for a major Bethesda RPG.
Players engaged with the base game ahead of any upcoming DLC will find environmental puzzles like the Anchorpoint safe to be some of the most captivating optional content in Starfield. The five-clue requirement encourages thorough exploration instead of relying on combat or dialogue skills.

Community reactions to Starfield are quite divided. One Steam reviewer bluntly stated: “absolute waste of money i cannot believe they got away with making this game and are still in business.” This reflects the disappointment of players who hoped for a more cohesive open-world experience, given Bethesda’s history with The Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises. On the other hand, positive reviews often highlight the RPG systems and faction quests instead of focusing on the overall exploration experience.
What To Watch
- Terran Armada DLC confirmation: Steam achievement data suggests new paid content is on the way — keep an eye out for an official announcement from Bethesda that could give the game a boost similar to what new content did for No Man’s Sky.
- PS5 player reception: With Starfield’s PS5 launch in April 2026, a new audience is engaging with the game. We’ll see if their reviews push PlayStation platform scores higher or lower, indicating if the core experience has improved with updates.
- Long-term player trends: Currently, Starfield has 20,840 concurrent players on Steam, maintaining a decent audience. It’ll be interesting to see if the Terran Armada DLC announcement causes a spike similar to what happened with Shattered Space’s release.
