The release of Starfield patch 1.7.33 fixed several glitches that allowed players to earn infinite money. If you’ve updated to this version, you may be seeking alternative methods to accrue credits. One such method that remains unpatched is the ship duplication glitch. This guide, tested on Starfield update 1.7.33, outlines the complete procedure.

Precautions Before Initiating the Glitch

Save Your Game

Before attempting to duplicate a ship, it’s recommended to create a manual save. This step provides a safety net in case you encounter any issues during the process.

How to Duplicate a Ship in Starfield

Requirements

Duplicating a ship requires a few prerequisites:

  • The glitch works on both PC and Xbox but necessitates a controller. A keyboard is not compatible.
  • You need at least two ships: a high-value ship and a low-value ship. The low-value ship will be erased during the process.

Acquiring Ships

High-value ships can be acquired through various tasks in the game. Alternatively, they can be obtained by stealing, although this comes with its own set of risks. You may refer to other guides for detailed information on acquiring ships without spending credits.

Where to Start

The first step is to land on a planet with a ship technician capable of modifying ships. For instance, New Atlantis spaceport has a technician right from the early stages of the game.

Initiating the Glitch

  1. Speak to the ship technician and navigate to the “View and Modify Ships” option.
  2. Select the ship you wish to duplicate.
  3. Press LB (or RB) and X simultaneously on your controller. Both buttons must be pressed at the exact same time for the glitch to work.
  4. If successful, the build menu will open for the ship you’re duplicating. Make a minor modification, such as adding or removing a small component.
  5. Press B to exit and confirm the change.

If performed correctly, a duplicate ship will appear next to the original, with the minor change you implemented. Be aware that the original ship next to the duplicated one will be permanently removed.

Post-Duplication Steps

Once the duplication is successful, the ship will appear as unregistered. Registering the ship for a nominal fee is mandatory before proceeding with its sale or modification.

Preparation

Before selling, board the ship you intend to keep to ensure everything is functioning correctly. If any glitches occur, you can revert to your saved game.

Selling Steps

  1. Engage with the technician again and navigate to the ships they are offering for sale.
  2. Press Y to switch to the ships you can sell.
  3. Select the duplicated ship and confirm the sale.

You will receive credits immediately after selling the ship. However, it’s crucial to note that the selling price will be significantly less than the original purchase price. Despite this, duplicating a high-value ship and sacrificing a low-value one can still result in a handsome profit.

Conclusion

The ship duplication glitch in Starfield patch 1.7.33 offers a viable method for players to earn credits. This guide has covered the essential steps for duplicating and selling ships, thereby offering an alternative for credit accumulation.
