Since the release of Starfield, players have been eagerly awaiting additional ways to traverse the surfaces of planets. Bethesda has finally answered these requests with the introduction of the REV-8 land vehicle. However, the game’s modding community wasted no time in customizing this new addition, transforming the REV-8 into recognizable vehicles from popular culture.
The REV-8: A New Way to Explore Starfield’s Planets
The REV-8, available for 25,000 credits, offers players a new mode of transportation across the barren landscapes of Starfield’s many planets. For space explorers looking to invest in some new wheels, this rover is a tempting option—even if it means delaying payments on that apartment mortgage. With the REV-8, players can now bounce over the galaxy’s surfaces with ease and style.
Modders Bring Iconic Vehicles to Starfield
As with any Bethesda title, the modding community quickly got to work, re-skinning the REV-8 into famous vehicles from beloved franchises. Here are some of the standout mods that have already been created:
- Halo Warthog (M12B FAV): Modder Satou has brought the iconic Warthog from Halo into Starfield. While this version is the scout variant, lacking the familiar chain gun turret, it still offers a touch of nostalgia for fans of the Halo series. Perfect for splattering any pesky Covenant-like threats that might come your way.
- Star Wars X-34 Landspeeder: Modder radiclown, known for turning Starfield into a Star Wars tribute, has introduced the X-34 Landspeeder. This re-skin includes a clever feature that turns the REV-8's laser into the Landspeeder’s mounted laser, making it an exciting addition for any fan of the galaxy far, far away. However, if you're using radiclown’s Chewbacca mod, be aware of a bug that reduces Chewbacca to regular human size when seated in the passenger seat.
- Other Re-skins: Additional mods include the Stag N-Forcer from Saints Row, which gives the REV-8 a gang van makeover, styled after the Crimson Fleet. An ATV mod has also been uploaded, showing that the modding community is just getting started with these creative transformations.
The Future of REV-8 Mods and Starfield’s Expansion
Given that the REV-8 was only recently introduced, it’s safe to assume that many more vehicle re-skins will be appearing in the coming days and weeks. The modding community’s rapid response is just a glimpse of what’s possible, and players can expect a growing variety of vehicles to choose from.
In addition to these mods, players have more to look forward to with Starfield's upcoming Shattered Space expansion, set to release on September 30. As the game continues to expand, both officially and through fan-made content, the possibilities within Starfield seem endless.
Final Thoughts
The introduction of the REV-8 has opened up exciting new avenues for exploration in Starfield, and the modding community has already begun to make this vehicle their own. From iconic sci-fi rides to creative new designs, the REV-8 is quickly becoming a canvas for modders to showcase their talents. With the Shattered Space expansion on the horizon, Starfield players have much to look forward to as they continue their adventures across the stars.
